May you never again be as far off-base as you were when you typed this
statement!  You will be the envy of every pedant in your circle.

It could be argued ( successfully, some would say ) that a quick look at
what they refer to as an interface or the fact that almost *every* new
system release breaks a majority of their *soi-disant* products makes your
point brilliantly.  It certainly *seems* like MS isn't "tr[ying] to design
and engineer it owns product", not by any definitions *I* ever used for
;design' or 'engineer' anyway . . .

                      ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

For hopefully the LAST time friends, the accelerator slot in the P600 is 
_not_ a cache slot such as the one in the IIci!  The Performas do not
support cache-enable and -disable functions, therefore the slot must be
used for a card which replaces the 030 on the motherboard with, most
likely, a faster 68040 chip.  This is OK, mind you, it's just that these
accelerators cost a lot more than a simple cache card.  Apple says that
Daystar's Powercache 040 (a _processor_ card) is compatible with the P600.
Last I checked, 040 based Powercache cards cost from $800 (40MHz) to about
$1500 (50MHz) w/fpu, street prices.  That's a far cry from a ~$200 fast
cache card which generally gives a lot of bang for the money.

It would be interesting, though, to see performance/price comparisons of an
accelerator/fpu equipped P600 vs the IIci with its cache/fpu.

I just downloaded the demo version of Lemmings for the Mac.  It is
amazing!  It's got a few subtle differences from the Amiga, but it
definitely kicks MAJOR butt.  Playability is perfect...no lagging, 
no lags in the music (which I wish was in stereo), nothing.  It is
a true replica of the Amiga game.  Now there's no possibility at 
all of me ever getting an Amiga! :-)

I'm told this demo has been forwarded to umich and sumex, and is 
also on CompuServe.

A "blitter" or "blit chip" is nothing more than another graphics co-processor

data.

Well, unless one of the new Amigas comes equipped with a DSP sound chip, I

The Falcon comes with MultiTOS which is a true multi-tasking operating system.

I think the most recent exchange rate seriously devalued your "centavos".  :)

Dependent upon the users needs, the Amiga can be a fine machine.  But this is
also true of the Atari Falcon, Macs and PC's.  Why can't you just leave it at
that?  This "my computer is better than your computer" ranting and raving is
the most childish waste of bandwidth on the net.  Kindly cease and desist so
we _adults_ can get on with a more useful exchange of information.  Thanks.

Organization: The Software Engineering Institute

I ordered a multimedia version Quadra 700 through the computer store
at CMU mid-July and still have not received it.  The multimerdia
version includes QuickTime, Adobe Premiere, Aldus Persuasion and the
Video Spigot Card at just a little over $100 more than the price of
Quadras without the multimedia package.  According to a computer store
representative, the store was unable to get in touch with Apple about
a shipment date until early September, even for orders put in June.
At that time Apple `promised' to deliver by the end of September.
Now, again according to the computer store, Apple says the shipment
will come mid-October.  There was no explanation for the delay.  Is
anyone else experiencing these sorts of delays for multimedia Quadras?
Is there a problem causing delay of shipment?

Uhm...

The Performa 200 -is- a Classic.  A Classic II, to be exact.  And the
400 -is- an LC.  (Well, an LC II)  The Performa 600 (and 600CD) is the
only model that is a new CPU design.  And, unfortunately, it won't be
available till October 19th (when the computer store version - the
IIvi - is out.)

The difference in between the 200/Classic II and 400/LC II is only in
the nameplate.  That, and the fact that the Performas are "bundles".

   With the above corrections and amendments, the list really seems to
say that Apple is trying real hard to go head to head in the mid-
range, and that the 4000 is a relative price/performance winner for
now, even if it is at the top of the mid-range.  The 3000T, 3000T/040,
etc. are aimed at a different market, and Apple and Commodore have a
different approach at the low end.

   When put in this (yawn) format, the only thing that stands out is
that there is probably a new Amiga in the $1200 to $1500 dollar range
in the works, and Apple left room for a Performa 300.

You're thinking of MaxAppleZoom, which is a WONDERFUL init by Naoto Horii.
It takes advantage of some undocumented features of Apple video cards,
which it requires to run.  It uses the memory and hardware on the card
and therefore ONLY runs on those made by Apple and WILL NOT run on 
machines with builtin video.  The author has stated he has no interest
in porting it to other machines.

The only thing I know of which might be of interest is "Stepping Out".
Is this still available?  It gives a "virtual screen" which you can
scroll around.  Not nearly as useful as MaxAppleZoom which actually increases
the number of pixels on your screen by filling in the black border (it
gives you 704 x 512 instead of 640 x 480).

On your system software (try Tidbits) floppies, you will find a Utility called

Hello netters,

I have a group of users at my company that require some sort of
revision control tool for product specifications on the Mac.
They've specifically asked for SCCS or RCS, but since they're
using Word and Project and those sorts of things I doubt either
of those tools (even if available on the Mac - are they?) would
do the job.  I suppose they could save the stuff to ascii and
then use either of those.  Anyway, any tips would be appreciated.
I am not currently subscribed to any of the Mac groups so please
respond via e-mail, where I am,
