MailBITS/21-Aug-95
------------------

**Mick's The Man** -- I guess Bill Gates decided that the Rolling
  Stones song "Start Me Up" would be perfect for advertising Windows
  95, since one of Windows 95's most recognizable features is a
  Start button on the Task Bar. According to the Sun, an English
  tabloid, Microsoft contacted Mick Jagger about it, and Mick asked
  for a whopping $12 million for rights to use the song in Windows
  95 advertising. Apparently, Mick thought that if he asked for a
  preposterously large amount, that Microsoft would go home empty-
  handed, but Microsoft's response was "Do you want cash, or is a
  check all right?" So, starting this week, expect to hear the
  Stones' best three chords used for peddling software. Of course,
  Macintosh aficionados can get some mileage out of the song's
  chorus - "You make a grown man cry" - but I'll leave that as an
  exercise for the reader. [GD]


**QuickDraw 3D Available from Apple** -- Apple recently announced
  that QuickDraw 3D 1.0 - its new 3D rendering and realization
  software - is available online, as well as with the new Power Mac
  8500 and 7500 computers and commercial rendering packages (such as
  Strata's StudioPro Blitz). QuickDraw 3D requires a Power Mac with
  at least 16 MB of RAM and the package weighs in at about 2.4 MB.
  Apple also has sample applications and models available online,
  along with information for developers and other interested
  parties. If you have a Power Mac, RAM, and CPU cycles to spare,
  check it out! [GD]

**Where Do You Want To Go Today?** As the computing world braces
  for a Windows 95 onslaught, Apple comes out swinging with a no-
  holds-barred campaign reminding potential buyers of the still-
  significant Macintosh advantage. The campaign uses radio, TV,
  print advertising, and a dedicated Web site. In the campaign,
  Apple pokes fun at some of Windows 95's advances: "It lets you use
  more than eight characters to name your files. It has a trash can
  you can open and take things back out again. It lets you drop
  files anywhere you want on the desktop. Imagine that. Windows 95
  makes a PC more like a Macintosh - you know, the Macintosh we
  built back in 1984." No timidity here. [MHA]

  [Still, one wonders what Apple hopes to accomplish against
  Microsoft's marketing juggernaut - is Apple reassuring investors
  and current users, or do they hope to attract new customers?
  Microsoft will reportedly spend $500 million this year promoting
  Windows 95. For $500 million, Bill could make almost three Kevin
  Costner movies. That's a _lot_ of money. -Geoff]

**Power Mac Office 4.2x Update Update** -- In TidBITS-289_, I
  reported on questions and quirks relating to the Office 4.2x
  Update for Power Mac. In the article, I said that Office 4.2x
  Update for Power Mac, version n/a, has been updated to version
  1.01. A few people wrote in asking about Office 4.2x Update for
  Power Mac 1.0, which may be installed from the Office CD. My
  contacts at Microsoft have confirmed that version 1.0 is the same
  as version n/a, so if you have version 1.0 and use either the
  Global Village Toolbox extension or STF Technologies's FAXstf
  software, you should replace version 1.0 with version 1.01.

  Microsoft has posted the Office 4.2x Update for Power Mac
  incorrectly, such that you must download it in binary mode. Try
  downloading the cryptically named file from the URL below using
  Netscape (which downloads most everything in binary mode), or try
  using Fetch, which has a Binary button that can force a binary
  download. Otherwise, configure your FTP client to treat the file
  suffix ".hqx" as a binary file, and be sure to change the setting
  back when you're done. [TJE]

  It appears the folks at Ziff-Davis publishing are surveying
  computer users about their willingness to upgrade to Windows 95.
  This survey is accessible on the Web at the Ziff-Davis site. In
  jest, I took the survey, but I was surprised to discover that they
  seem to expect Macintosh users to respond. So, through the survey,
  it was duly noted that I'm comfortable with my iteration of System
  7, and that I'm not interested in upgrading to an OS that won't
  run on my computer. [These surveys are never statistically valid
  because of the way the data are collected, so hey, stop in and let
  Ziff-Davis know what you as a Mac user think of Windows 95. -Adam]

Macworld Superlatives
---------------------
  by Mark Anbinder, News Editor <[e-mail]>

  At a trade show with thousands of products, it's impossible to see
  everything - or even all the important things. Some of these
  products may receive more in-depth coverage in future TidBITS
  issues, but we figured you'd want to hear about them sooner rather
  than later.


**Neat Paging Software** -- Isn't it nice when a company tops
  itself? Ex Machina has done so, adding to its line of paging
  software with Reach Me!, a customizable utility pager users can
  give their friends and clients. Purchased in sets of ten or fifty
  diskettes (for Mac or Windows), Reach Me! lets the friend or
  client send a message to the pager owner with a minimum of fuss or
  muss. The software has your pager's phone number and ID code
  pre-entered, and it automatically configures itself to the user's
  modem. Ex Machina -- 212/843-0000 -- <[e-mail]>


**More is Better** -- A year or so ago, Radius sold the Pivot
  product line back to Portrait Display Labs, which had developed
  the concept originally. Now PDL has introduced a 17-inch version
  of its flexible color monitor, which operates in portrait or
  landscape mode. This model won't trigger the Mac to redraw the
  screen automatically, as would previous Pivot monitors; a
  representative explained that implementing that feature and
  supporting the new PCI video cards at the same time was an
  insurmountable challenge. Still, not having that feature may not
  phase experienced Pivot users, who often found it caused more
  problems than it solved. Portrait Display Labs -- 510/227-2700
  <[e-mail]>


**Less is Better** -- Technosystems USA, developers of Chagall,
  don't think Photoshop users need to switch to their program, but
  they're happy to provide a less-expensive, smaller, snappier
  alternative to new buyers. The $299 Chagall handles most popular
  graphics file formats, runs fine in as little as 750K of RAM, and
  even supports Photoshop plug-ins. Its drawing and painting tools
  are clever and intuitive, and a native Power Mac version is
  available. (And yes, converted Photoshop users are welcome.)
  Technosystems USA -- 800/417-0108 -- 502/351-0108


**A Magical Experience** -- By far the coolest CD-ROM I ran into
  in Boston last week was Broderbund's new Learn the Art of Magic.
  On the CD, professional magician Jay Alexander gives an
  interactive video-clip tour of the art's history, some of its most
  important practitioners, and dozens of fun tricks. The
  demonstrations help kids or adults learn some impressive
  prestidigitation to amaze friends and relatives, or even go into
  the business. Broderbund Software -- 415/382-4400 -- 415/382-4582
  (fax)


**Tame Those Fonts!** Impossible Software's Type-Tamer goes the
  traditional font-menu utility one better, showing the kind of font
  (TrueType, PostScript, or bitmap only) as a miniature icon in the
  Font menu. It also offers a full display of the font's character
  set right from the Font menu of just about any program, and can
  tell you what fonts are used in your current document. Impossible
  Software -- 714/470-4800 -- <[e-mail]>


**At It Again** -- We're almost, but not quite, tired of
  commenting that a new Connectix product offers what Apple software
  engineers ought to have provided all along. The new Speed Doubler
  replaces Apple's 68LC040 emulator built into every Power Macintosh
  with a souped-up emulator that compiles on the fly, significantly
  improving the performance of non-native software. (We've all got
  some, despite our best efforts.) As a bonus, Speed Doubler
  replaces Apple's disk cache function with a faster one, and speeds
  up Finder copying and deleting while letting you move it to the
  background. 68K Mac owners will see some speed improvements from
  the disk caching, but Power Mac owners will see their emulated
  software fly, although there have been sporadic reports of less-
  than-miraculous performance improvements from Speed Doubler. [It's
  not miraculous, but as a Power Mac owner, count me as a satisfied
  Speed Doubler user. -Tonya] Connectix -- 800/950-5880
  415/571-5100 -- <[e-mail]>

http://www.connectix.com/


**Tongue-in-Cheek T** -- Frank Imburgia is a familiar face outside
  Boston's World Trade Center, where he's sold clever T-shirts to
  Mac fanatics each August for years. (His dogcow shirts are
  priceless.) This year's best? A new version of the "This is your
  brain... this is your brain on drugs" cliche, with an Apple logo
  under the first phrase and a Windows logo under the second. No,
  it's not too late to get yours. The Yankee Group -- 617/367-1000
  <[e-mail]>


**Cool Gadget** -- Macworld always has its share of nifty
  peripherals, but this one is small enough you might have missed
  it. Alps now sells a GlidePoint pointing device, just like the
  flat-surface Trackpad in Apple's 500 series PowerBooks, but the
  star of their show was the GlidePoint Keypad, a combination
  numeric keypad and pointing device scheduled to ship for both Mac
  and PC platforms any day now. Ever wonder why you couldn't simply
  tap on a PowerBook's Trackpad to click, instead of reaching for
  one of the buttons? Alps wondered, too, so the GlidePoint products
  let you tap right on the pointing surface. The buttons are there,
  too, and can be programmed for double-clicks, keystrokes, etc.
  Alps Electric (USA) -- 800/825-2577 -- 408/432-6000

http://www.alpsusa.com/


**Too Obvious?** Until now, every single developer of
  telecommunications software has had to cope with a daunting array
  of different ways that people need to dial the phone. Software
  needs to handle local and long-distance calls, phone credit cards,
  authorization codes, and access digits. The problem is compounded
  for roving users whose PowerBooks need to dial the phone
  differently each day. Now, Cypress Research offers MegaDial, an
  inexpensive utility that intercepts any program's attempt to dial
  with your modem, and handles all of these concerns. MegaDial even
  knows the local access numbers worldwide for popular commercial
  online services, and switches for you. Just tell MegaDial where
  you are. Cypress Research -- 408/752-2700 -- 408/752-2735 (fax)
  <[e-mail]>


**Missed By That Much** -- CE Software was almost, but not quite,
  ready to ship QuickMail 3.5 at Macworld. (The release, planned for
  this August, should be ready in early September.) As promised, the
  update supports styled text, drag and drop, server-based mail
  processing, an America Online gateway, and a non-modal
  QuickConference chat feature. The company has managed to eliminate
  the need for any extensions in QuickMail, so the software should
  be cleaner to run, but the resulting three-application
  architecture (including an always-running QuickMailHub background
  application) may prove cumbersome. CE Software -- 800/523-7638
  515/221-1801 -- <[e-mail]>

http://www.cesoft.com/


**Utterly Non-Mac** -- One of the niftiest products at the show
  has nothing to do with Macs. VideoGuide is a television set-top
  unit that receives its information through MobileComm's nationwide
  radio pager network. The remote-controlled unit has always-up-to-
  date TV program schedules for your area, complete with
  descriptions, movie casts, and local programming. The box is under
  $100 and works with any TV in the continental US, with or without
  cable. There's a low monthly charge for the basic data, and a
  small optional monthly charge if you also want the unit to show
  you the latest sports and news info on-screen. VideoGuide
  617/276-8800 -- 617/276-8878 (fax)


**How... Nice** -- On Technology is very proud of the email
  integration feature in the new Meeting Maker XP 3.0, but I'm less
  impressed by the company's decision to support only Microsoft's
  MAPI technology for email. The much-touted Internet support in the
  program inexplicably doesn't include email, though I'd hate to
  downplay the cool ability to connect to your calendar server from
  anywhere on the Internet (including via PPP or SLIP). Support for
  SMTP should be a given, and adding support for other LAN-based
  email technologies such as SoftArc's FirstClass or CE's QuickMail
  would help in the workgroup environments Meeting Maker calls home.
  On Technology -- 800/548-8871 -- 617/374-1400

http://www.on.com/


**Turnabout Revisited** -- I like Here & Now from Software
  Architects better than Insignia's utility for reading Mac disks on
  DOS/Windows computers; you can read not only Mac-formatted
  floppies, but also SCSI devices such as Bernoulli and SyQuest
  cartridges, optical discs, and even hard drives. Here & Now
  supports the Mac's 31-character filenames, and links Mac file
  types to appropriate Windows applications. Software Architects
  206/487-0122 -- <[e-mail]>


**Best PCI Device** -- It's not that I don't like the new PCI
  Local Bus expansion technology Apple has adopted for its new line
  of Power Macs, just that some devices can be hard to find on PCI
  at this point. Add one of Second Wave's Xpanse PN units to your
  PCI-based Mac, and you can use two, four, or eight NuBus cards
  with your system, although it's not exactly an inexpensive
  alternative. Second Wave -- 512/329-9283 -- 512/329-9299 (fax)


**We'd Hate to See "Complex"** -- Claris now offers the Claris
  Card, a calling card "created to simplify your life." As far as we
  can tell, it just simplifies Claris's ability to charge for
  technical support that many companies still offer free of charge.
  (Either pay-as-you-go, starting at $19.95 for the first ten
  minutes, or annual subscriptions for $129 and up.) The company
  promises the card will zip you past its phone support line's
  "complicated" menu system. You can use it as a phone calling card
  for long distance calls, too. So, um... this is simple? Claris
  800/234-4750


**Neat Giveaway** -- Gone are the days of tchotchkes at every
  other booth, but the clever folks at Digitool, Inc. were spreading
  the word about their new Power Mac native version of Macintosh
  Common Lisp (formerly an Apple product) by giving out postcards
  complete with a postage stamp. Tell your friends. Digitool

AOL FTP Additions
-----------------
  by Adam C. Engst <[e-mail]>

  Several readers commented on our review in TidBITS-290_ of AOL and
  CompuServe's internal FTP clients, mostly to note that AOL's
  recently released Web browser also provides FTP features. Although
  these features are available to any Mac AOL user, since they exist
  in a separate program from the main AOL application, it may not be
  entirely fair to compare them to the internal FTP features in
  CompuServe Information Manager.


**Dave Martin** <[e-mail]> writes:
  In the article about the AOL and CIS FTP clients, you left out a
  few things about AOL's FTP client. For one, it does allow the user
  to connect to a remote host as something other than anonymous -
  you can mark a checkbox to ask for username and password upon
  connecting. Also, users can now upload files to the remote host
  once connected. This last feature was a recent change made via one
  of those darn online database updates that you see every now and
  then.

  Of course, using AOL 2.6 you can use the AOL Web Browser to do
  FTP. Though still a bit crude, the interface is much better than
  the client internal to AOL. It does offer a nice dual-directory
  Font/DA Mover-style display (if you prefer) which shows files on
  the remote host and files on your local drive for easier uploading
  and downloading. It is slow; however, since AOL grabs the data
  from the source machine and then sends it on to the user, you have
  to expect slowdowns in any Internet transaction.


**Les Jones** <[e-mail]> adds:
  Your review of AOL and CompuServe's FTP features overlooked AOL's
  Web Browser, which is more useful for FTP and Gopher than the main
  AOL application. The browser stores frequently used FTP sites and
  directories for re-use, correctly uses URLs to the file level, and
  automatically decodes files in AppleSingle, BinHex, StuffIt, and
  uuencode formats. The browser also has a respectable set of tools
  for managing a remote FTP site - uploading files, creating
  directories, and renaming and deleting files and directories.

  All of these features are easy to miss, because AOL's Web Browser
  features aren't well documented. Version 2.6 of the AOL FAQ will
  be finished in a few weeks, and will be fully updated for AOL 2.6
  and the Web Browser. Look for it then in:

Ontological Breakdown, or, Pretending to be a Help System
---------------------------------------------------------
  by Brad De Long <[e-mail]>

  I recently had an Internet experience that was profoundly
  disturbing, and made me want to consult a philosophical
  professional in the same way that a health problem makes me want
  to consult a medical professional.

  Let me start from the beginning. For the past year or so one of my
  main Internet activities has been to look for pictures of
  dinosaurs. My five-year-old sits on my right knee and my two-year-
  old on my left. We stare at Triceratops eye-to-eye, and count the
  teeth of Tyrannosaurus Rex. The five-year-old is pretty good at
  following links; the two-year-old is still at the "Twicer'ops.
  Piktur Twicer'ops" stage.

  One of our favorite places is the University of California Museum
  of Paleontology - the UCMP. On the Internet, the UCMP is a
  marvelous virtual, interactive museum. Adam Engst even wrote in
  one of his books that he could "spend the rest of the afternoon
  here, browsing the exhibits, and all without hurting my feet."

http://ucmp1.berkeley.edu/welcome.html

  Last June, I stopped being a Senior Treasury Department Official,
  and became a Berkeley economics professor. Since the UCMP is in
  the "berkeley.edu" domain, I asked around, and was told that the
  UCMP had just moved into the newly-renovated Valley Life Sciences
  Building.

  So one afternoon I paused in my attempts to deal with the pile of
  paper created by the Associate Vice Chancellor for Sending Junk
  Mail to Faculty and the Assistant Associate Vice Chancellor for
  Thinking Up Pointless Rules, and took the five-year-old and the
  two-year-old to the Valley Life Sciences Building.

  We first walked past a wall of news clippings and pictures of
  paleontological digs. We soon found ourselves in the central
  stairwell in front of a banner that said "University of California
  Museum of Paleontology." There was an impressive Tyrannosaurus
  skull behind glass. On the next floor up there was a similarly
  impressive Triceratops skull. The hip bones of a Tyrannosaurus (a
  different Tyrannosaurus) hung suspended in the stairwell.

  That was pretty much it. The UCMP had just moved and not all of
  the public exhibits had been unpacked yet. By mid-September an
  entire Tyrannosaurus Rex will fill up the three-story stairwell.
  But the public fossil collection was very small. The UCMP is a
  _research_ museum, not a display museum: it is for twenty-five-
  year-old graduate students fascinated by posters with titles like
  "Acid Rain an Agent of Extinction at the K-T Boundary - Not!" This
  research museum is not designed for five-year-olds, or for thirty-
  five-year-olds who don't know as much about geology and chemistry
  as they should.

  I stood in the stairwell. I looked at the few impressive fossils.
  I thought to myself, "Let's get back to my office computer, so
  that we can see the real University of California Museum of
  Paleontology Dinosaur exhibit at:

http://ucmp1.berkeley.edu/expo/dinoexpo.html

  "The real museum," I thought, "has audio narration by the
  discoverers of dinosaurs. The real museum has many more bones - a
  Diplodocus skeleton, for one thing. The real museum has detailed
  exhibits on dinosaur evolution and geology...

  "No - wait.

  "_This_ is the real museum. The Internet Web site is just the
  "virtual" image - an electronic reflection - of this place."

  And that was when I felt I needed a consulting philosopher bad.

  There have long been speculations about how the electronic shadows
  made possible by the computer and telecommunications revolutions
  will acquire the intensity of effect, the immediacy, the
  complexity and the depth to become - in a certain sense - real.
  That afternoon in the Valley Life Sciences Building was the first
  time in my life that I had compared a place in the real world -
  the UCMP - to its virtual electronic image in cyberspace and found
  the real world lacking, found that the real world experience
  didn't have, compared to its virtual electronic image, the
  intensity of effect, the immediacy, the complexity, and the depth
  necessary for reality.

  Thinking back, I realized that the electronic world behind the
  computer screen has been slowly acquiring reality - and the real
  world losing it - for some years. I check the card catalog for
  something or other every week; but it has been four years since I
  saw a wooden or metal drawer with 3 by 5 cards in it. If I say
  "it's on my desktop," I almost surely mean that a pointer to the
  computer file exists at the root level directory of my notebook
  computer. As far as desktops and card catalogs are concerned, the
  "virtual" images have so swamped the "real" objects as to make
  them vanish from my consciousness.

  My cousin Tom Kalil tells me that cyberspace has obtained "lift-
  off." Traffic on the now-defunct NSFNET Internet backbone went up
  from 3.6 billion bytes in March 1993 to 4.8 trillion bytes in
  March 1995. WebCrawler and Yahoo now index over four million
  electronic documents, and receive more than 9.4 million hits per
  week.

  Some are oblivious to this transformation. I think of a respected
  academic elder who claimed that all physical discoveries since
  1930 (including our current computer and communications
  technologies) were less significant than the past generation's
  "discoveries" in literary criticism; he had the lack of perception
  (or perhaps he was simply irony-challenged) to make this claim in
  an electronic mail message!

  For two generations people have been talking about how computers
  will have an extraordinary impact on human society and human
  knowledge. Our children will think as differently from us as we
  think differently from pre-Gutenberg monks, who would spend years
  copying and writing a commentary on a single illuminated
  manuscript. Our children will find our doctrines and beliefs as
  quaint as we find Socrates' distrust of the written word as an
  suitable tool for education.

  The evening after returning from our expedition to the Valley Life
  Sciences Building I went upstairs to put the five-year-old to bed.
  He was talking - but not to himself.

  "If you want to read books," he said, "click on the bookcase. If
  you want to play with dinosaur toys, click over here."

  He was pretending to be a help system.

  "To play with Lion King toys, click on the bottom of the bed."

  I have pretended to be many things at play and at work - a space
  explorer, a wise king, a Deputy Assistant Secretary of the
  Treasury, a Berkeley professor. But I have never pretended to be a
  help system.
