MailBITS/06-Nov-95
------------------

**Dataquest Says Apple Gained Market Share** -- According to
  preliminary figures from Dataquest, Apple's market share rose from
  7.4 percent in the second calendar quarter of 1995 to 9.0 percent
  for the third calendar quarter of 1995. Dataquest cited healthy
  sales to consumer and education markets, noting that sales of
  Macintosh Performas have doubled in the last year - and we aren't
  even into the holiday buying season yet. Unit shipments during the
  third calendar quarter of 1995 were up more than 26 percent. All
  in all, this is good news for Apple, combined with earnings of $3
  billion during its fourth fiscal quarter, shipments of 1.25
  million machines, a study from QED Research showing Apple's share
  of the U.S. K-12 education market rose to 63 percent, and an IDC
  study showing Apple still has the largest installed base in U.S.
  homes. You'd almost forget it was the same quarter Microsoft
  released its "Mac killer" Windows 95. [GD]


**Apple Reorgs Marketing; Eilers to Leave** -- Apple announced
  last week the company plans to move responsibility for sales,
  marketing, and customer solutions strategies from the Worldwide
  Marketing and Customer Solutions division down to three existing
  geographically-based groups handling Europe, Japan and Asia, and
  the Americas. Apple bills this change as the latest step in their
  market segmentation strategy, to which they credit recent reports
  of increased market share. As a result of these changes, Dan
  Eilers - former CEO of Claris and long-time Apple executive - has
  announced he will be leaving the company after a transition
  period. It's interesting to note that these changes fall only
  seven months after Apple made sweeping organizational shifts to
  form Eilers' Worldwide Marketing and Customer Solutions division
  in the first place. [GD]


**Novell to Sell WordPerfect** -- Sixteen months after spending
  over a billion dollars to get into the desktop applications market
  with WordPerfect and Quattro Pro, Novell Inc. announced last week
  that its word-processing and spreadsheet product lines are for
  sale. The move got a positive reaction from Wall Street and
  investors - who'd much rather see Novell concentrate on networking
  products than diverting effort to competing with Microsoft's
  Office application suite - but drew sharp criticism from users,
  since the future of these applications is now foggier than ever.
  Though Novell declined to give names, it said that there are at
  least two serious bidders for the products, one of which is
  rumored to be Ray Noorda (former CEO of Novell and the architect
  of Novell's original purchase of the applications), who now
  controls commercial rights to Linux, a popular shareware version
  of Unix. [GD]


**Got a Twitch You Just Can't Scratch?** Do you ever feel
  paranoid, like there might be aliens and monsters lurking around
  every corner? Or are you just looking for some target practice?
  Either way, you're in luck: a shareware version of the unbearably
  popular DOOM I has been released for the Macintosh by id Software,
  Inc. Though you need a 68040-based Mac or better to play it, this
  version comes fully-featured, handles multi-player games, and is
  generally guaranteed to aggravate any hand or wrist problems you
  might have.

  "But wait," you're saying, "why play a game that started on the PC
  when there's Marathon, an appropriately blood-soaked, shoot-em-up
  game born on the Macintosh?" Well, you're in luck too: a demo of
  Marathon 2 is available online as well. These games are massive -
  DOOM I is about 3 MB, and the demo of Marathon 2 is a whopping 15
  MB - so be prepared to spend some time downloading them. Also
  check the ReadMe files for system requirements and instructions.
  Before you ask, no, DOOM II is only available commercially. [GD]

  One day at the recent Microprocessor Forum, I sat next to Rick
  Doherty, who is Steve Wozniak's business partner at
  Envisioneering. I didn't know who he was at first, but I was
  struck by the remarkable variety of consumer electronic devices he
  was carting around. One item particularly attracted my attention,
  and I asked him about it. It was a Ricoh digital camera, currently
  only on sale in Japan, and I didn't catch the model name/number.
  It's about the size of one of an old Instamatic camera for 110
  film, and is used in that orientation. It takes 720 x 512 images,
  and records them to a small internal Flash-memory card (like a PC
  Card, but smaller).

  Now, get this - it can also capture _motion_video_. It has an
  internal motion JPEG hardware codec, and can record up to six
  seconds of video per 8 MB of Flash. It has a detachable video
  interface with RCA plugs for connection to a VCR (I didn't catch
  whether it has a video input, but it definitely has a video
  output). I don't know if it supports NTSC.

  The downside is that the unit is about $1,300 in Japan. Doherty
  said he's been told that Ricoh is thinking about making it
  available in the USA, but that they believe they could sell them
  for even _more_ money, up to $2,500 or so. Apart from the price,
  it looked like an extremely neat product.


PageMill Ships
--------------
  by Tonya Engst <[e-mail]>

  If you tune into HTML-oriented chatter on the nets, you almost
  certainly have heard some of the excitement over Adobe shipping
  PageMill 1.0, the much-anticipated, graphically-oriented, Web page
  creation tool. Originally developed by the now-acquired Ceneca
  Communications, PageMill enables Web authors to create pages
  without working directly with HTML tags. The $99 PageMill lends
  itself to slick demos, and it nearly blew my socks off when I saw
  it last August at Boston Macworld. Although PageMill will work on
  some less well-endowed Macintoshes and with any version of System
  7, Adobe recommends using the software on a 68040- or PowerPC-
  based Mac, with 6 MB of free application RAM, 3.5 MB of hard disk
  space, and a color monitor.

http://www.adobe.com/Apps/PageMill/

  TidBITS will review PageMill soon; in the meantime, the PageMill
  mailing list (monitored by people at Adobe) has had some
  discussions of good and bad features, with much of the concern
  focusing on PageMill's lack of table support and its use of <br>
  tags when <p> tags would be more appropriate. People on the list
  have reported successfully purchasing the electronic version of
  PageMill from Adobe, though when you purchase the electronic
  version, you must have a fax number so Adobe can fax you a special
  URL, which you then use to download the program.

http://www.adobe.com/Apps/PageMill/orderform.html

  Others on the list reported ordering and receiving more
  traditional shrink-wrapped copies of PageMill from MacMall, and my
  contact at Adobe says that many popular mail order vendors have
  PageMill available. Information about the PageMill mailing list is
  available at the URL below.

Save Time with NotifyMail
-------------------------
  by Mark Anbinder, News Editor <[e-mail]>

  Although a client/server approach to email has several advantages,
  it's not without drawbacks. One disadvantage that wastes lots of
  time is the inability of a POP server to tell you there's mail
  waiting. Scott Gruby's NotifyMail utility, to put it simply,
  eliminates this problem.

  Many users of Eudora, Claris Emailer, StarNine's PT/Internet POP
  utility, and other software for accessing POP3 (Post Office
  Protocol) mail servers have their software configured to check the
  server periodically to see if new messages have arrived, and if
  so, to download them. This method of working is inefficient,
  because new mail doesn't reach the recipient immediately, and
  because extra network traffic is created even when there's no new
  mail.

  With NotifyMail, users of Glenn Anderson's Mac-based Apple
  Internet Mail Server (previously MailShare) can receive immediate
  notification when a new message has arrives. The mail
  administrator needs only activate the server's NotifyMail feature
  (in the Account Information settings for each user) while the user
  installs and configures NotifyMail on his or her system.

  NotifyMail also supports users with shell accounts (with or
  without POP service) on Unix and VMS systems, and the author
  provides instructions for using NotifyMail with Unix or VMS.

  The software works by waiting for the server to send a standard
  Finger query to the user's Mac, to which NotifyMail reacts.
  NotifyMail can be configured to display a dialog box, make a
  sound, open Eudora or Emailer, tell the mail client to check for
  the new message if it's already open, simply display a mailbox
  icon, or any combination of the above. The software is most
  effective for users who have a permanent IP address, but works
  fairly well even for users whose IP addresses vary each time they
  connect.

  As a side benefit, NotifyMail can act as a Finger server on the
  user's Mac, returning custom messages that can include information
  about the local time and how long the computer has been running or
  sitting idle. The software isn't compatible with Peter Lewis's
  Daemon (or his older Fingerd server) because both utilities can't
  accept Finger connections simultaneously.

ftp://ftp.tidbits.com/pub/tidbits/tisk/tcp/daemon-10.hqx

  NotifyMail 3.0, released this month, runs native on both 680x0 and
  PowerPC processors, and supports Open Transport on Apple's latest
  Power Macs. It adds support for Claris Emailer, TCP/Connect II,
  and StarNine's PT/Internet utility; previous versions only
  supported Eudora. (Eudora 1.4 or later is required in order to
  take advantage of all of NotifyMail's abilities.) The software
  also now supports SLIP and PPP connections.

  NotifyMail is shareware ($18) and Scott accepts credit card
  payments electronically or checks by mail. Site licences are
  available, as are academic and quantity discounts. We feel anyone
  using POP mail service who wants automatic notification of new
  mail should take this software for a test drive.

Create Your Own Home Page
-------------------------
  by Tonya Engst <[e-mail]>

  Six months ago, bookstores had few Macintosh-specific books about
  creating Web pages. The books I found tried to help all users on
  all platforms, and although most of them mentioned the Mac, none
  of them thoroughly explained _exactly_ how a Macintosh user would
  complete a home page. By "thoroughly explained," I mean that none
  of them anticipated the problems Mac users might encounter,
  assisted with the mechanics of finding shareware and freeware
  authoring tools, offered substantial help in using Macintosh
  software to do HTML or set up pictures and media, or anticipated
  problems and confusions that might arise transferring HTML
  documents from a Macintosh to a Web server.

  Since then, several authors have completed Mac-based Web authoring
  books, but the book I want to talk about is Create Your Own Home
  Page, which Adam and I coauthored (ISBN 1-56830-245-21, Hayden
  Books, $25). The book is loosely based on the HTML chapter that I
  wrote for the third edition of Adam's Internet Starter Kit for
  Macintosh, and we decided to turn the chapter into a longer book
  because we figured the people who most needed the information
  would never find it buried in the Starter Kit, not to mention the
  fact that we had no room on the disk to include any HTML tools.
  Create Your Own Home Page is specifically for Mac users who want
  to make home pages, but don't have a lot of time to invest in
  learning how.

  In 150 pages, Create Your Own Home Page takes readers from the
  idea-forming stage through creating HTML 2.0 code. It also covers
  locating, downloading, and using non-commercial applications for
  adding sounds, graphics, and movies to the page; finding a Web
  server to serve the page; using Anarchie to upload and maintain
  the page; and publicizing the completed page. It also has tips and
  suggestions for what to include and not include, basic directions
  for finding, installing, and using some of the best shareware
  available for authoring Web pages on a Mac (including HTML Web
  Weaver, Anarchie, HTML+, and rtftohtml), plus pointers that take
  readers to online sources of more information.

  My favorite part of the book is chapter 3, which shows images of
  three completed Web pages. Callouts surround each image, and the
  callouts help people look at the images, see features that they
  like, and then get help with how they work.

  We've taken some flak for this, but the first edition of the book
  focuses solidly on HTML 2.0. Why? For one thing, the book strives
  to help busy people make home pages that work well in the variety
  of available browsers. For another thing, we learned HTML 2.0
  before learning the other tags, and we've found that it helps
  enormously to know what's HTML 2.0 and what's not. Also, because
  the books is intended to give new HTML authors a non-intimidating
  leg up into the world of basic Web authoring, we decided not to
  cover forms or image maps.

  The book does comes with a disk, and the disk includes licensed
  versions of HTML Web Weaver and HTML+ (an XTND to HTML converter),
  as well as StuffIt Expander, Anarchie, useful Anarchie bookmarks,
  a few templates, and some sounds and graphics for use on Web
  pages.

  Hayden has placed a page about the Create Your Own Home Page on
  the Web, and from that page you can follow a link to the text of
  chapter 4, which explains the basics of HTML.

An Army of One - Japan's PowerBook Guru
---------------------------------------
  by Brent Bossom <[e-mail]>

  After my recent purchase of a PowerBook 540c, I immediately
  searched for new software and utilities to load on it.
  Unfortunately, much of the PowerBook freeware and shareware that I
  found online (at sites like Info-Mac) was mixed up with desktop
  software, making PowerBook-specific items somewhat difficult to
  find. Fortunately, I came across an off-beat Web site, called the
  PowerBook Army, that had all the PowerBook files I could ever
  want. The site is ably maintained by Atsushi Iijima
  <[e-mail]>, a self-declared officer in the
  PowerBook Army and Japan's PowerBook Guru.

http://www.st.rim.or.jp/~papapa/

  Iijima's day job is as the Web master for an architecture-related
  Web site; he's also a sub-sysop on the MACLIFE forum in
  NiftyServe, Japan's largest online service. But he is perhaps best
  known in Japan for his PowerBook columns in MacJapan and more
  recently in MACLIFE, making him uniquely qualified to host, in his
  words, "a stop on the Internet for every PowerBook user."

  The original PowerBook Army site is in Tokyo, and it now has an
  outpost in Hawaii. Along with its amusing PowerBook Army graphics,
  the site houses dozens of Control Strip modules and useful
  utilities (with descriptions in both English and Japanese), and is
  updated frequently. It also features Iijima's articles and general
  information about how to connect to the Internet from Japan. So
  far the PowerBook Army site has seen surprising numbers of
  visitors, and many have joined Iijima's mailing list called the
  PowerBook Army Information Mailing Service. [The PowerBook Army
  pages have also received attention from the Netscape Hall of Shame
  - but when only one browser does Kanji, going a little overboard
  is easy to understand. -Geoff]

  Iijima himself uses a Duo 280, mostly on the long train rides to
  and from his workplace in Tokyo (his home is 70 miles outside the
  city). His reason for starting the PowerBook Army? "During my
  travels on bulletin boards and the Internet," he says, "I
  collected tips on PowerBook usage and developed a collection of
  utilities, extensions and control panels (especially Control Strip
  modules). With PowerBook Army, I'm making all of my tips and
  software available to PowerBook users around the world." The
  PowerBook Army also shows the appeal, power, and whimsy of the
  Macintosh and its online community isn't endemic to California.


Keep on Moving
--------------
  by Adam C. Engst <[e-mail]>

  My article on moving in TidBITS-301_ spawned many responses from
  readers, including more stories and advice regarding original
  boxes, explanations of electronic companies, explanations of IKEA,
  other moving horror stories, and lots of good advice. Without
  further ado, then, here are a few of those responses.

**Naomi Pearce** <[e-mail]> suggests:
  If you save your boxes in a garage, or basement, don't put them
  directly on the floor. Throw some boards down and put the boxes on
  top of the boards, otherwise air won't circulate underneath the
  boxes, and they will get wet and mushy quickly. I don't know how
  they collect water even when there aren't leaks, but they somehow
  do.


**Mark Lilienthal** <[e-mail]> writes:
  As a member of the Canadian Army, I am moved often, by
  professional movers. Each time, when shown the stacks of original
  shipping cartons in my basement or attic, the movers express both
  appreciation (less work) and relief (less potential for damage). I
  have the original shipping cartons for all computer and electronic
  equipment and, once the equipment has been certified (a
  requirement for insurance purposes), I pack it all myself. Nary a
  problem yet. In fact, my venerable Mac Plus, ImageWriter II, and a
  hard disk have been sent back and forth to an oversees posting by
  _mail_ in their original shipping cartons.


**Jack Jansen** <[e-mail]> writes:
  There is actually another very good reason for keeping original
  boxes for computer hardware, aside from being handy when you move
  house. If you're trading your Mac in for a new one, I have found
  out having the original boxes can give you a much better
  bargaining position.


**Dennis Whiteman** <[e-mail]> writes about boxes and
  cables:
  I'm as bad as you are about saving boxes, but I had a unique
  experience with this right after I moved. I had stored all my
  boxes (and old tax records) in a closet underneath a staircase in
  my new two story house. Two days after I moved in, the ground
  floor of my house was flooded and all my boxes were soaked. It
  took a week for everything to dry out. Needless to say, I moved
  all my computer boxes upstairs where they would stay dry.

  My next move will definitely involve sorting out the cable that
  hooks my router to my ISDN line and the ones that connect my
  computers to my 10Base-T hub. Plugging the wrong cable into the
  wrong place on my Ascend Pipeline 25, I'm told, will fry it. Good
  advice! Plus, that snake nest behind my desk can get really scary.

  [To add to that advice, be _especially_ careful to label power
  adapters for things like modem, bridges, and Ethernet adapters.
  They often have the same size plugs, but don't always output the
  same voltage. Pushing 12 volts through something that expects 5
  volts can do serious damage. I know, I just accidentally toasted
  our Sonic Systems microBridge/TCP by incorrectly using the power
  adapter from Tonya's Duo's SCSI Ethernet adapter, and I'm rather
  displeased. -Adam]


**Rick Holzgrafe** <[e-mail]> writes:
  After the Loma Prieta earthquake of 1989, I had to rake up the
  remains of my office, box it, and move it all to a new building. I
  put all the cables and mice and such in a single box.

  Out of 29 boxes, that was the one box that the movers lost.

  When I arrived at my new location, I couldn't boot a single
  machine. I spent hours running around the building, cadging a
  power cord here, a mouse there, just to get one Mac up and
  running. After some days I liberated enough cables, mice, network
  connectors, etc. ad nauseam to get my entire office back online,
  but I never found the missing box.

  Good advice: Don't carry all your eggs in one basket. Don't put
  all your company execs or project engineers on the same flight.
  Don't keep all your backups at a single location. And don't move
  all your cables in one box!


**Edward Reid** <[e-mail]> corrects my retelling of how
  the electric company cycles power after an outage:

  The electric company does not cycle power unnecessarily. If they
  wanted to burn something off a line, they'd keep the power on.
  However, the concentrated current would damage or weaken the
  lines. In any case, it's much easier for them to just reach up and
  pull (or saw) the branch away - they have the equipment and skills
  to do so safely.

  Here's how it actually happens. When a branch (or anything)
  touches two wires, it creates a fault (short circuit) and trips
  (opens) a breaker. Usually the branch continues falling, or is
  blown off the wires by the shock of the current that goes through
  it before the breaker trips. These faults are common occurrences.
  Suppose the breaker just stayed off (like the circuit breakers in
  your house do). The time the power is out at any given location
  would go up dramatically and the electric company would spend a
  lot of money (your money, as a customer, to be precise) sending
  linemen out to reset breakers when the faults had cleared
  themselves within a couple of seconds anyway. So the protectors on
  the power lines are designed to re-close several times after
  opening, typically at about one-second intervals. If the fault
  hasn't cleared, you see the phenomenon of the power going on and
  off several times. Usually it stays on after one or two tries;
  occasionally the fault does not clear and you have a true outage.
  If it weren't for this retry logic, you'd have a long outage every
  time you had a major flicker.

  That said, I can't agree more with your recommendation of UPSs,
  except that I recommend a UPS for almost everyone, and certainly
  for everyone who uses a computer for several hours a day. They're
  not even as expensive as you imply. An APC Back-UPS 200 provides
  200 VA (volt-amps), enough to handle a basic new Macintosh, and
  costs exactly $100 from Lyben, including shipping. A 280 VA unit
  costs $110, a 400 VA costs $153. This is a far cry from "several
  hundred dollars." If more people knew how cheaply they could get a
  decent UPS and were encouraged to do so, a lot more Macs (and PCs
  too) would be properly protected. [People, consider yourself
  encouraged! -Adam]


**Anders Stegen** <[e-mail]> writes to provide some
  background on IKEA, the furniture and housewares store we
  mentioned last week. Somehow we had a feeling we'd hear from a
  number of our Swedish readers on this one.

  I'm pleased that you found what you needed at the IKEA store. IKEA
  in Sweden was started by a money-cautious, self-made man called
  Ingvar Kamprad. He's world famous (well, within Sweden anyway) for
  supplying good quality, cheap furniture which you take home and
  put together yourself. (He's also famous for always using tourist
  class and inexpensive hotels when travelling, despite his now
  substantial fortune.)

  Oh, and if you were wondering where the name comes from, IKEA
  takes the first initials from: Ingvar Kamprad Emmaboda (the name
  of the family farm where Ingvar started his first mail-order
  company at the age of 15) and Augunnaryd (the name of the small
  village where it was located).


**Rolf Adlercreutz** <[e-mail]> writes:
  IKEA likes to name their product lines, mostly with first names.
  Most Swedish homes have, for example, at least one bookcase named
  either Billy or Sten. So your computer desk is not trying to jerk
  you around, it is just named that way. Jerker is a Swedish male
  first name. It's not too common, but not unusual either.
