-
- AFC Dennis : Hello Everybody !
- AFC Dennis : One more person.....and then....
- AFA Andrew : Hi, Sue, Don, Dave, Gene, Dennis, Steve, all!
- MEpstein : Hi
- AFC Dennis : We're off.....number twenty is here !
- AFC Sue : Hi, Andy...how ya doin'?
- AFA Andrew : I'm alive, barely! :)
-
- AFC Dennis : Welcome to America Online and the Macintosh
- Utilities Forum. Your friendly MUT staff members
- are AFL Floyd, AFA Bob, AFA DaveAx,AFA JimW,
- AFA Andrew, AFC Borg, AFC SteveY, AFC DougM,
- AFC Paul, AFC Tag and AFC Dennis your MUT Conference
- Host.
-
- AFC Dennis : TONIGHTS TOPIC: COMPRESSION UTILITIES: Why Use
- Them ? You've heard lots about them. We all talk
- about them here. We've even had full scale debates
- online where each competing developer could not
- wait to answer the other's charge. What is it
- about these utilities that stimulate so much
- discussion and loyalty. Stick around here and find out.
-
- AFC Dennis : It's Saturday Night MUT Live. So welcome.
- Sit back and relax. During the conference we will
- give away a 3 free hours to a lucky winner. And one
- of the developers present tonight just IM'ed me with
- a generous donation of two Auto Doubler packages for
- two lucky winners tonight.
-
- AFC Dennis : Now it's time to telecommunicate !
- But first.... a word about how we work at
- MUT. We will be using protocol tonight to make sure
- all get their chance at the microphone. Remember type ?
- for questions and ! for comments and
- we will call on you in order. Please add a GA
- when you finish your ...
-
-
-
-
- AFA GeneS : problem with PageMaker, you might wish to post a
- message in the Desktop Publishing Forum (keyword
- MDP), or contact Aldus directly by telephone. ga.
-
- ENFJ : thanks ga. :)
-
- AFC SteveY : Well, Ptenisnet didn't want to hang around, so, Big
- Man Joe, you're up!
-
- AFC Dennis : So is BigMan Joe next up ?
-
- AFC Paul : BigManJoe just left... Queue is empty
-
- AFC SteveY : AdGuy60108, you had a question?
-
- AFC Dennis : Ad Guy...are you here?
-
- AFC Dennis : Okay....where is Sys7...I think you are next.
-
- Sys7 : I use Autodoubler & CopyDoubler with a utility called
- Desktape. Is anyone aware of conflicts with...
- this combination? GA
-
- AFC Dennis : DHeller...GA
-
- DHeller : FGS isn't aware of any problems. Are you having
- some? Also, if you'll give me the manufacturer,
- we'd be happy to check it out.GA
-
- Sys7 : Thanks, yes I had a problem that only affected
- Autodoubled files, so I was concerned. Fortunately
- I did this under controlled situations, so nothing
- was lost. The MFR is Optima Technologies.ga
-
- DHeller : Thanks.
-
- AFC Dennis : Dagnar you are next. GA please.
-
- Dagnar : Is there any way to get Stuffit Deluxe 3.05 to
- Decompress files dloaded from AOL instead of the...
- the engine provided by AOL? GA
-
- AFC Dennis : AFC Steve. GA
-
- AFC SteveY : You need to select the AOL preferences from the
- Members menu (cmd-=) You can set the Downloading
- Preferences to TURN OFF auto unstuffing of files
- that are downloaded. ga
-
- Dagnar : But how do you get SDeluxe to decompress them
- automatically ?
-
- AFC SteveY : Ah, well, that can't be done...I use StuffIt Expander
- which can be set to periodically scan a folder and expand
- files. ga
-
- AFC Dennis : Is there a stuffit person here ?
-
- AFC Dennis : GA M. Epstein.
-
- MEpstein : StuffIt Expander can "watch" a folder to decompress files
- in it you can set that folder to your AOL Downloads
- folder. ga
-
- Dagnar : Thanks, I'll look into that. That'll work GA
-
- AFC Dennis : Okay. Donald....have a question for us. GA
-
- DonaldWay : When are we going to see something that allows us to
- *transparently* compress and decompress
- resources on the fly? It seems as if Apple has gone
- only part of the way here - what I want
- is the ability to compress my own resources, and have
- the OS do the decompression as the resources
- are loaded. Is this coming, or am I just dreaming? GA
-
- AFC Dennis : Who would like to answer that one. DHeller ?
-
- AFC Dennis : GA Steve.
-
- AFC SteveY : I will defer to Dave to discuss Auto Doubler Internal
- Compression if he is ready. Ok...the Auto Doubler
- Internal Compressor will compress the resources in
- applications, inits and...ga dave.
-
- DHeller : Sure. AutoDoubler comes with a program which will
- compresses resources in Applications, INIT's, and Control
- Panels. The resources are decompressed on the fly, but
- the compression process is manual. The compressed files
- are standalone and don't require AutoDoubler to decompress
- them. GA.
-
- AFC Dennis : (BTW folks. DHeller has donated two
- AutoDoubler packages for tonight's raffle) :)
-
- DonaldWay : But will I need to explicitly decompress the resource
- file before, say, I open it using ResEdit? GA
-
- AFC Dennis : Thanks Dave. Four your answer and your
- generosity.
-
- AFC Dennis : Okay take that follow up please.
-
- DHeller : No, not if a compressed INIT or Control Panel is
- running, or if ResEdit itself is compressed. GA
-
- AFC Dennis : Rook. It is now your turn to ask a question.
- GA please.
-
- DonaldWay : :\
-
- AFC Dennis : Rook...
- AFC TAG : looks like Rook left
-
- AFC Dennis : Okay. to DATA Roger then we go. GA please.
-
- DataRoger : I have Stacker on a IBM at work which works totally
- invisible, I hear that AutoDoubler is not. True?
-
- AFC Dennis : DHeller....would you like to respond. If so GA
-
- AFC Dennis : Okay Steve is quick on the draw. GA
-
- AFC SteveY : AutoDoubler is just as transparent as Stacker. Both
- programs need to be installed, and have a certain.
- degree of setup required, but once set up, both work
- without further user intervention. ga
-
- AFC Dennis : So who would like to say something ?
-
- AFC Dennis : GA Donoho
-
- ADonoho : Auto Doubler has some probs w/ some apps
- I have had several voyager products not work well
- with AD. GA
-
- Bob Slo : <--? forgotten again :{)
-
- AFC Paul : I was just about to point out that we'd missed Bob
- Slo!!
-
- AFC Dennis : (never forgotten Bob....just not seen) :(
-
- AFC Dennis : Let's see....MEpstein...your comment to Donoho
- please.
-
- MEpstein : Actually AD is not as transparent as Stacker and similar
- products if you ever need to start up without
- extensions Stacker hard disks will be normal but with AD
- and similar products your icons and file types will be
- changed. Normally this doesn't matter, but it's not
- quite as transparent. ga
-
- AFC Dennis : MUT will be doing a special on STACKER when it
- is released Stay tuned for details.
-
- AFC Dennis : GA KentMarsh.
-
- KentMarsh : Return of the compression wars here? GA
-
-
- Bob Slo : (SORRY BUT WE LOST THE TEXT OF THE FIRS PART OF THE
- QUESTION WHICH HAD TO DO WITH THE APPEARANCE OF DISK
- DOUBLER ICONS)
- then all of a sudden they will all appear again! ga
-
- AFC SteveY : Dave, can you help Bob?
-
- AFC Dennis : (Ouch....Bob Slo swung hard !) :)
-
- DHeller : Sure... DiskDoubler isn't totally transparent where
- icons are concerned. It contains compressed
- representations of icons for popular packages. All
- of these icons are stored in the DiskDoubler
- Application. If the finder goofs it when rebuilding
- the desktop on DD App, then all of the icons for all of
- your compressed files will be generic. We've found a few
- bugs in System 7's desktop manager code, so this is not
- impossible. Are you running Sys 7? GA
-
- Bob Slo : No 6.0.7, and I don't keep the app on my hard disk
- just the init. ga
-
- DHeller : That's probably why then. You need to have DD app on
- the disk when rebuilding your desktop. GA
-
- AFC Dennis : Okay....I think we should move to DataRoger
- now. GA
-
- DataRoger : There is a technological difference between Stacker
- and AD compression, right? GA
-
- MindVision : Do you mean the compression algorithm of the general
- method of operation ?
-
- AFC Dennis : Data. that question is for you
-
- DataRoger : Sorry, method of op. GA
-
- AFC Dennis : MindVision...wish to continue your answer. If
- so GA
-
- MindVision : There are many different ways to implement
- compression on the Mac. Stacker works at the driver
- level. GA.
-
- AFC Dennis : Okay....next up is MacRight. What is your
- question please ?
-
- MacRight : If Microsoft wins its lawsuit against Stac, does this
- mean Stac might be forced out of business?
-
- AFC Dennis : MindVision....wish to take this one ?
-
- AFC Dennis : (or do we need a lawyer......AFC TAg...where
- are you ?
-
- AFC Dennis : (well someone have an opinion ?)
-
- DonaldWay : Kill the lawyers. (sorry, couldn't resist)
-
- AFC TAG : no comment
-
- AFC Dennis : Guess not MacRight.....we'll have to pass up
- your question.
-
- AFC Dennis : Next we go to MacIdeas....
-
- AFC Dennis : do you have a non litigious question for us ?
- GA :)
-
- SharonJD : I resent the kill the layers comment some of us aren't
- bad.
-
- Sys7 : (I was wondering about the 'Juris D.' suffix...)
-
- AFC Dennis : DonaldWay...comment while I look for MacIdeas.
- GA
-
- DonaldWay : I'm sorry... kill was too strong of a word, and
- you're right, not all lawyers are bad.Just most.GA
-
- AFC Dennis : MacIdeas....your turn for a question. GA
-
- MacIdeas7 : Thanks! I was under the impression that the new
- Stuffit Lite is supposed to work on "PKZip" files as well
- as ".sit" files. So far, I have had no success.
- Is there atrick to it? ga
-
- AFC Dennis : Okay DaveAX....your comment please.
-
- AFA DaveAx : The UnZip translator is part of StuffIt Deluxe, not
- StuffIt Lite but there are several other unzipping
- utilities in the MUT libraries for your delectation! ga
-
- MacIdeas7 : Oh! I just need to pay more, right? Or DL from the
- library... I'll try that first! Thanks - GA
-
- AFC Dennis : DataRoger....a comment please GA
-
- DataRoger : Are there any compatibility problems with AD and
- de-frag utilities like CP DiskOptimizer. GA.
-
- AFC Dennis : DHeller please comment.
-
- DHeller : We've had reports of problems with early versions of
- the SUM optimizer, but none (that I know of)
- with CP optimizer. We do recommend you reboot from a
- floppy when optimizing your hard disk. GA
-
- AFC Dennis : AFC Tag what is your non-legal matter question ?
-
- AFC TAG : I use AD&DD and backup to a 2d HD. When I boot from
- the bu HD, says AD&DD need to be reinstalled:(
-
- AFC TAG : Does some compression utility not require this? GA
-
- AFC Dennis : DHeller...GA
-
- DHeller : This "feature" was removed in AD 2.0, DD 3.7.7. GA
-
- AFC Dennis : DataRoger....you have a question.....just
- before our weekly raffle
-
- DataRoger : I have witnessed on a friend's Mac with AD running
- that when After Dark kicks in, the screens begin to slow
- down greatly. I have seen it de-installed to verify that
- AD is causing this. GA
-
- AFC Dennis : GA Dave Heller.
-
- AFC SteveY : Well folks, I've gotta take off!! See you all later!
-
- DHeller : I assume AD is actively compressing at this time.
- Other than that, AD shouldn't slow down After Dark at all.
- GA
-
- AFC Dennis : Back again, ouch this hurts !
- (SEQUENCE OF TEXT LOST A BIT HERE TOO, SORRY !)
-
- DHeller : This is a bug in SpeedyFinder 7 which the author has
- fixed, but I believe those versions are available to
- registered users. The latest public release (1.5.4)
- does not fix the problem. GA
-
- AFC Paul : Renegade, you had a comment? Please GA. (Then it's
- prize time!) Welcome home, Dennis! ;)
-
- Renegade 2 : sorry that I'm late. Does anyone know anything about
- "Times Two" disk compression software?
-
- AFC Paul : Renegade, I don't think anyone from Golden Triangle
- is here tonight. Anyone else have a comment?
-
- Renegade 2 : ooops, forgot the GA
-
- Renegade 2 : thanks, just thought I'd ask before I buy. GA
-
- AFC Paul : (Dennis, you have the Com!)
-
- AFC Dennis : MindVision...your comment please.
-
- MindVision : Wait for Stacker, please :-)
-
- MindVision : Disclaimer: I wrote Stacker.
-
- AFC Dennis : Let's wait folks.....now its time (Ithink) for our
- raffle tonight .Right folks ?
-
- AFC Dennis : Okay MacRight. your first...then the raffle.
-
- Bob Slo : Yes!!! Me!! PLEASE!!!!!
-
- MacRight : I think Times Two operates at the driver level so it
- expands the disk size rather than compressing
- individual files.
-
- AFC Dennis : Thank you MacRight. Now to the raffle. Let's
- see....who can we ask to pull the magic number
- out of the electronic hat !
-
- AFC Dennis : How about guest rafflers.
-
- AFC TAG : <--has no cat, but recently spotted mice in the
- computer room :)
-
- AFC Dennis : AFL Bear.....in honor of your past role here
- at MUT would you do the first drawing for ONE free
- copy of AutoDoubler, complements of DHeller.
-
- AFC Dennis : How about it AFL Bear ?
-
- AFL Bear : Sure!
- AFL Bear : Hold whilst I stir the virtual hat...
-
- AFC Dennis : I thought you were hibernating again !
- AFC Dennis : Good.
- AFL Bear : (I was. The pizza just came.)
-
- AFC Dennis : Hold on folks....here is the first winner -

- AFL Bear : :0
- AFL Bear : I feel it's a Juris Doctor!
- AFL Bear : Sharon!
- AFL Bear : Congrats!!!!
- Bob Slo : Congrats Sharon!
- AFL Bear : (Here's hoping you have a Mac!)
- AFC Dennis : Yeah for Sharon. No lawsuit tonight ! :)
- AFC Dennis : (Just kiddin)
- AFC Dennis : Thank you Bear. You did that so well !
- AFL Bear : Well, she did come wearing her 'law suit.'
-
- AFC Dennis : DHeller, am I right to think there is another
- AD out there for another lucky person ?
-
- AFC TAG : I would like to say that we had a very well behaved
- group tonight, lawyers included :)
-
- Bob Slo : Maybe she'll be able to figure out all the legalese
- on the disk envelope!! :{)
-
- SharonJD : No lawsuits, need to graduate in may. Of course I
- have a Mac.
-
- AFC Dennis : (Sharon....please Email you name and address
- to DHeller and he will see to it that you get
- your prize)
-
- AFL Bear : (So you can use AutoDoubler to get back some disk
- space, no?)
-
- AFC Dennis : Okay....now we go to AFL Rod....the big game
- boy....to ask him to be our next raffler.
-
- AFC Dennis : Okay AFL Rod....
-
- AFL Bear : tap, tap, tap... testing... (Maybe his pizza just
- came...)
-
- AFC Dennis : I think he is getting his magic cap on....
-
- SharonJD : I'm new to this, how do I E-mail?
-
- AFC Dennis : YO AFL Rod !
-
- AFL Rod : downloading so kinda slow ..
-
- Bob Slo : <--- always needs any computer programs time etc
- FREE!! :{)
- AFL Bear : (Command-M)
- AFL Bear : to mail.
-
- AFL Rod : my cat just picked the winner
- AFL Rod : and ...
- AFC Dennis : Okay AFL Rod....will you do the honors of
- picking the next Auto Doubler winner.
- AFL Rod : it is..
- AFL Rod : UofA Cats
-
- UofA Cats : Awesome
- Bob Slo : Congrats UofA!
-
- AFC Dennis : Okay...thanks to Rod and his cat....and
- DHeller we have another winner.
- AFC Dennis : Great going !
-
- UofA Cats : Thank you
-
- AFC Dennis : And now we go to AFA GeneS....who will consult
- his WIGI board for the winner of three free
- hours.
-
- MacIdeas7 : Congrats, "cats"!
-
- AFC Dennis : (WofaCats) Send your name and address to
- DHeller please.
-
- AFL Rod : and the fact that UofA let Cal win had nothing to do
- with it.
-
-
- MacIdeas7 : It's "oija"!
- AFC Dennis : AFA GeneS....can you see us all the way out
- there from Arizona ?
-
- AFC Dennis : I couldn't spell that if I tried MacIdeas !
-
- AFC Dennis : Oija!
-
- SquareOne : Ouija
-
- Bob Slo : Its ouija!
-
- AFC Dennis : Okay....Ouija....sorry I mentioned it :(
-
- MacIdeas7 : Obviously, me, neither!
-
- AFC Dennis : AFA Gene....are you breathing the same air as
- we ?
-
- AFA GeneS : I'm breathing the same air, but I was away..
-
- AFC TAG : LOL
-
- AFA GeneS : from the machine. But the air is a bit cleaner.
-
- AFC Dennis : Okay then....Gene....will you please do the
- honor of picking the winner of three free
- hours ?
-
- AFA GeneS : And I can see for miles and miles...
- AFA GeneS : Sure what must I do.
-
- AFC Dennis : See for miles and miles and pick a winner !
-
- Bob Slo : Gene can you see all the way to Peoria, IL PLEASE!!
- :{)
-
- AFC Dennis : A non-overhead account Gene.....
-
- MacIdeas7 : Methinks the "air" is a bit "thin" up there...
-
- AFA GeneS : Well, I am breathing carefully, and slowly....
- AFA GeneS : and saying OM.....
- AFA GeneS : and meditating for a message in the ether as it
- were....
- AFA GeneS : yes...the vibrations are coming through now....
-
- Bob Slo : <--- good at groveling :{)
-
- AFA GeneS : slowly I see the letters appearing before...
- AFC Dennis : Finally !
- AFA GeneS : my very eyes.....
- AFA GeneS : Ah...
- AFA GeneS : The winner is.....
- AFA GeneS : Doris!
-
- AFC TAG : <--said ohm and farad, shocking
-
- Bob Slo : Congrats Doris!
-
- MacIdeas7 : Yea! Doris, Congrats!
-
- AFA GeneS : Congratulations!
-
- AFL Bear : I'm an optimist... I just say 'mho'...
-
- DorisB9429 : Thank you. Doris
-
- AFA GeneS : Mostly I say money,money, money, but nobody hears me.
-
- AFL Bear : (only true wireheads will get that...)
-
- Bob Slo : I'm not going away mad, just going away! See you
- all later! :{)
-
- MacIdeas7 : Goodnight folks!
-
- AFC Dennis : Congratulations to all our winners. Thanks to
- our benefactors....and I ask you.....
-
- AFC Dennis : Does anybody know what time it is?
- AFC Dennis : Does anybody know what time it is?
- AFC Dennis : Does anybody know what time it is?
-
- AFC TAG : 12:30:21 AM
- AFL Bear : :burp: Malox time...
- AFA GeneS : I didn't know what time it was..
- MacIdeas7 : Time for "contributions" to our governments deficit?
- AFC Paul : Its PARTY time!
-
- AFC Dennis : ITS FREE CHAT TIME WHERE ANYBODY CAN SAY
- ANYTHING, ANYTIME.
-
- AFA GeneS : Speak for yourself MacIdeas7!
-
- AFC Dennis : Protocol is over....but do stick around !
-
- AFA GeneS : (stick, stick!)
-
- MacIdeas7 : Oh, we'll ALL "get it" eventually...
-
- AFA GeneS : We already have.
-
- MacIdeas7 : Amen!
-
- AFC TAG : Love my Quantum GO 120:) Now if Mirror fixes my main
- HD, I will be in Mac Heaven again;)
-
- AFA GeneS : What's wrong with your main drive?
-
- AFC TAG : My main drive was a Mirror portable and it just died,
- refused to spin
-
- AFA GeneS : Under warranty?
-
- AFC TAG : Yes, fortunately :)
-
- AFA GeneS : I haven't lost a drive--yet. But the ones I have now
- are relatively new. (I sold the older ones off before
- they gave trouble.)
-
- AFC TAG : Well, the only other drive I had that died was a
- Profile 5 meg :)
-
- AFA GeneS : I don't remember anything that small since my days in
- traditional typography.
-
- FredAR : Anyone know of unusual problems with the Scrapbook
- with System 6.08
-
- AFL Rod : had a 80 meg quantum that was having a problem
- spinning up in IIx, but in an external case it has
-
- AFA GeneS : Fred: What kind of unusual problems?
-
- AFL Rod : been working fine for months. :)
-
- AFA DaveAx : Well....enough for one evening....g'night, all
- .
- AFA GeneS : Maybe your problem was the IIx, Rod.
-
- AFA GeneS : Night Dave.
-
- AFL Rod : ::knocking on wood::
-
- AFL Bear : Cioders, Dave!
-
- AFC TAG : That's interesting, Rod. My defunct Mirror was a
- Quanrtum in an external drive...
-
- FredAR : With certain applications I can't past anything into
- it (not enough memory, even when running 4MB...
-
- AFL Rod : new drive has not had any problems there.
-
- AFC TAG : case, I mean
-
- FredAR : ...and regular finder. Appls like Navigator
-
- SharonJD : Just bought a IIsi, any words of warning?
-
- AFL Rod : new drive = 230 meg quantum
-
- AFA GeneS : IIsi? No, relax and enjoy.
-
- AFC TAG : Don't worry if the sound stops sounding, Sharon
-
- FredAR : Not always the same appls either. Enough roon on the
- HD, but not too much
-
- AFL Bear : Sharon, use conductive grease on the speaker
- contacts...
-
- AFC TAG : The IIsi has an internal speaker problem
-
- AFL Bear : (just kidding - don't do that...) ;)
-
- FredAR : If no ideas, I'll continue to explore.
-
- AFA GeneS : Quantum 230 on my Quadra 800 is fast!!!
-
- AFC TAG : I use external Walkman type speakers on my IIsis
-
- AFA GeneS : Fred: Maybe you just need to replace the Scrapbook DA
- or the file got corrupted....
-
- SharonJD : Since I have no idea how to grase the speaker
- contact's, externals are probably a better idea
-
- FredAR : Never been the same since 6.04. Also never had system
- 7 on this drive. System and Scrapbook replaced
-
- AFA GeneS : What about the Scrapbook file itself?
-
- FredAR : several times, all the usual stuff. Even a new
- system. No luck.
-
- AFC TAG : Another solution, Sharon is to rap on the box near
- the speaker (near the apple logo)
-
- UofA Cats : Can the IIsi utilize a second internal HD? I have a
- 40 meg HD and found I need more?
-
- AFA GeneS : Try this with your inits off, Fred. Maybe something
- is affecting memory management.
-
- FredAR : Scrapbook file will be OK for a while then get
- corrupted so i have now about 5 of them.
-
- SharonJD : that worked well on my SE, but since the si is new, I
- don't think I'll try it just yet.
-
- FredAR : I might try installing new system with all inits off
- and using several apple with a new scrapbook...
-
- AFC TAG : Well, I have 2 IIsis and they are both trouble free
- after 2 years
-
- FredAR : ...but how do I combine the old data into a good
- Scrsapbook, even it this works
-
- AFC TAG : except for the sound defect
-
- UofA Cats : Sharon, if you just toggle the sound vol in the sound
- CDEV the sound will work again.
-
- FredAR : I hae no ResEdit template for the file map, teven
- though I could combine the resources.
-
- AFC TAG : That works too, UoA
-
- AFC TAG : afk
-
- AFA GeneS : Maybe you are just trying to put too much into that
- Scrabook file. Have you thought of doing this another way?
- What kind of files are you trying to save?
-
- SharonJD : Thanks for the info. This is my 1st time in the
- forum and it's been great. Do you usually meet late
-
- FredAR : It sometimes gets over 230 items. Any online
- diagnostic files or fixer applications?
-
- SharonJD : Sat. night
-
- AFL Rod : isn't there an Fkey that does the sound toggle for
- the IIsi problem?
-
- AFA GeneS : I can think of NOW Scrapbook, from the NOW Utilities
- package, but you must run system 7....
- to use that software. It has more flexibility than
- the basic scrapbook. I think it's just a matter...
- of trying to cram to much into it in your case.
-
- UofA Cats : AFC TAG, have you had a problem with your IIsi's
- locking up for almost no reason?
-
- AFA GeneS : Listen folks, sleepy time calls. Catch you all later.
-
- AFL Bear : Later, Gene!
-
- UofA Cats : AFL Rod, yes there is an FKEY that will fix the sound
- prob. Its in the downloads.
-
- FredAR : Just saving standard text and some PICTs
-
- AFC TAG : My IIsi's are well behaved usually :)
-
- AFC TAG : The Fkey toggles the Cdev sound volume
-
- AFC TAG : no protocol Steve
-
- UofA Cats : Is it possible that too much static will cause a
- system crash?
-
- FredAR : No support person at the user groups have helped with
- the Scrapbook either. Well, time to get some work done.
- Sweet dreams.
-
- AFC TAG : Sunspots is my theory Cats :)
-
- UofA Cats : Nite Sharon, and congrats!
-
- AFC TAG : TTFN, JD;()
-
- SteveG1948 : Does anyone know of a PICT viewer that rotates Photo
- CD images?
-
- UofA Cats : Thanks AFC Tag
-
- FredAR : too much static can cause a Mac to go bad, system
- crash is also poessible. Avoid static discharge.
-
- UofA Cats : How can I avoid? (short of buying new carpet)
-
- AFC TAG : Whenever I hear of Mac system crashes, I remember the
- old joke about Windows: By the time Windows
- AFC TAG : loads, you can crash your Mac three times :)
-
- FredAR : Dump the carpet. Some people use sprays. Ground your
- desk and put a conductiv ecoating on it then...
-
- AFL Bear : Wear a clean suit... ;)
-
- FredAR : ...touch the coating whenever you sit down or move
- around in your seat etc.
-
- AFC TAG : If you really want to avoid crashes: turn of all
- inits, don't use shareware programs, don't use
- AFC TAG : compression utilities, etc... how boring...
-
- MEpstein : now that's not fair, many shareware programs are more
- compatible than some commercial programs! (Word)
-
- AFL Bear : and don't use EvenBetterBusError... ;)
-
- FredAR : dirt doesn't cause static, "clean suit" does; ironic
- ain't it
-
- AFC TAG : I knew someone would catch that :)
-
- AFL Rod : you forgot don't use version X.0 of micrsoft programs
- Tag
-
- ScottTBoyd : I hear that EvenBetterBusError causes lots of crashes

- versions will be version 3.0 or higher
-
- AFL Bear : (... with apologies to Greg.)
-
- MEpstein : Hey, I swear by EvenBetterBusError! I can't stand not

- AFL Bear : :)

- finding bugs in other programs. It drops into...
-
- AFC TAG : in the bathroom any more"
-
- ScottTBoyd : the debugger when it sees a program doing a specific
- kind of bad thing.
-
