- Alan Rosenthal's last post (sadly deleted) reminds me of hacking
- on the Macintosh myself.
-
- I am trying to get a program that captures text from an Internet
- session to save the file ONLY on a floppy disk. That is, the program
- currently doesn't even bring up a dialogue box to ask for the saved
- file name or the proper folder or whatnot, but I am learning how to
- do that through the Toolbox.
-
- However, the floppy drive is not a SCSI device, so I don't know
- how to specify it. For security reasons, putting up a dialogue box that
- would allow a user to see the hard drive is a Bad Thing (tm).
-
- AnecdotalHack: Not mine, but interesting: a friend once fiddled around long
- enough with a spare LaserWriter (Plus, I believe) to get it
- to act as a personal computer. The CPU was pretty feeble,
- but it sounds neat nonetheless.
-
- Steve.
