MacSense: The Macintosh® E-Zine is a FREE monthly electronic magazine which focuses on the mainstream Macintosh computer market. Each issue of MacSense details the most significant news stories in the world of Macintosh computing and explores how these new developments will affect every-day Mac users. Packed with vibrant color graphics and in depth product reviews, it is the founding goal of MacSense to shed light on a rapidly evolving industry. Moreover, because MacSense is created and distributed electronically, it is the most environmentally friendly method of publishing. We hope you enjoy this issue!
MacSense November 1995 takes advantage of many of the new features of DOCMaker 4.5 (from Green Mountain software):
• With System 7.5 installed, MacSense readers can now grab text within the magazine and drag and drop it into the Finder (or any other application which supports Macintosh drag and drop). This can be especially useful for people who want to copy the many URLs we list in the magazine.
• DOCMaker 4.5 supports AppleEvents. Readers who have the Netscape World Wide Web browser launched and active in the background can click on many of the graphics in AppleBits and QuickBits, and instantly be taken to that company's home page.
• MacSense now supports last chapter return. In any chapter, readers can simply click on the graphic MacSense footer and be transported back to the most recent chapter they were reading.
To determine which graphics in MacSense perform a task, watch for the cursor to change from a standard pointer to the MacSense Light Bulb.
The attached file is a Stuffit archive. You will need Stuffit Expander or another Stuffit compression utility to extract it.
The color edition of MacSense requires a Macintosh with at least 16 shades of grey. For optimal viewing, we recommend 16-bit color. The black and white edition of MacSense can be viewed on any Macintosh.
