- I have a onepage work-in-progress description of Apple's Smalltalk 1.0.
- It does away with the PARC MVC user interface and directly substitutes
- it with MacApp. Therefore, it won't be compatible with user interface
- code from Smalltalk-80. But this seems like the way to go on the Mac.
-
- It also mentions that it should be done in '88 and will be sold thru
- APDA. The guy at Apple to get more info is Harvey Alcabes.

- Where did you get that info? I want to know more about it. Is it real
- Smalltalk? It has an Interpreter or a Compiler? It is a Development
- System to create REAL double-clickable apps or needs a Run-time module?
- It has Multiple-Inheritance? It works under MultiFinder? Well ,I think
- that are enough

-
- I got the info from a data sheet given out at OOPSLA '87. I'm no
- Smalltalk guru but Smalltalk has always been an interpreter. I think
- this version is derived from Smalltalk .04 which is being distributed by
- APDA at a VERY REASONBLE $50. Since this is a direct port of Smalltalk
- 80 lvel 1, I don't think it has multiple inheritance.
-
- I have not seen the actuall system but the sheet had a screen dump. I
- would certainly be disappointed if it didn't work under Juggler.
-
- Please note the above info is merely my interpretation and may be
- totally untrue. You should send some mail to Harvey Alcabes of the
- Tools & Languages group for definitive info.

- It looks pretty neat.

- Subject: 50 cycle line frequency
- Date: 27-NOV 09:47 Hardware & Peripherals
-
- Since I live in Tokyo, Japan where the frequency is 50 Hz, the
- operability of a 60 Hz machine in a 50 Hz area has been a major concern
- for me. What I am particularly interested in is the domestic
- ImageWriter LQ ("domestic" in this sense is used to mean "for use in the
- U.S.") which is officially rated only for 60 cycle frequency services.
- Although I read in "The Help Folder" section in the December 1987 issue
- of MacUser (p.75) that many people including some Apple engineers say
- that you would get satisfactory results on a 50 Hz service, the same
- article also said that the use of a domestic ImageWriter LQ on a 50 Hz
- service may result in (l) character spacing problems and (2) the
- shortening of the printer's life due to the excess heat. Well, it really
- is difficult to make a judgment just out of the information above. I
- would really appreciate any information or opinion with regard to this
- debate. Of course, I will not hold anyone responsible for any
- information or opinion. Your candid opinion would be greatly
- appreciated.
-
- Thank you for your attention to my question.

- I believe you can easily solve your problem with a powr converter

- Hmmm, I'd think it wouldn't be too hard to come up with a simple circuit
- that would convert 50 Hz AC to 60 Hz AC, by converting it to DC in

-
- For what it's worth, the fullfillment problem is a recognized one and
- it's being worked on in San Francisco. I'm sorry (and frustrated too)
- that it isn't possible to solve all the problems immediately.
-
- One factor is that circulation is limited. We cannot simply expand
- freely, but must keep circulation under control to match ad rates and
- the costs of production. Bill Hooven (circulation director) and the
- other folks involved have been working on some way of getting MacWEEK to
- people that don't qualify for free subscriptions - or who do qualify but
- can't be added right away. I believe they have a policy of providing
- MacWEEK as a paid subscription to such people, at a reasonable rate
- (less than $50/year). If you haven't already called, the number is:
- 415-882-7370 and you should talk to Bill Hooven or ask for
- "circulation."

- Apologies.)
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- PowerStation 1.1 problems with MultiFinder and patches to fix same.
-
- Problem: PowerStation's Finder button can cause a crash. Fixed by
- patches #1, #2, and #3.
-
- Problem: The Restart and Shut Down commands from PowerStation's Special
- menu return to Finder (if Finder is running) or merely quit and then
- reopen PowerStation (if Finder is not running). Workaround: quit to
- Finder (assumes patches #1, #2, and #3 applied) and use Finder's Restart
- or Shut Down. If Finder is not running, hold Option while clicking the
- Finder button to get back to Finder, then go back to PowerStation and
- click the Finder button again (without Option) to quit PowerStation.
-
- Problem: Open an application from PowerStation. After the "interval of
- idleness" specified in PowerStation's Preferences dialog, return to
- PowerStation by quitting the application or by switching to
- PowerStation. PowerStation's boxes/buttons are invisible. Fixed by
- patches #4,#4a, #5, #5a.

- [ Has anyone else seen bomb (id=2) of Word 3.01 under multifinder? I
- have something that is 100% repeatable. I'm on a 2 meg system, running
- the official release, with just MF and Word running. Background printing
- is on. If you open up a locked file (for instance, my letterhead) and
- modify it so that it is more than a single page, print it, and then
- click the close box, Word asks you if you want to save it. If you say
- 'no' then word bombs. If any of the above is different, including being
- a 1 page letter, word works fine. I just lost my on-line copy of an
- important letter to it, so while it may be obscure, it isn't trivial (to
- me). (The letter I lost was a different letter in the same word job, by
- the by. But it still bombs with only a single file opened).

- My power supply in my 2-floppy drive SE just died a stange death. I had
- it replaced and my problems seem to have disappeared but I'm not totally
- convinced that the problem was with my power supply....I'll explain and
- perhaps someone can shed some light on this subject.
-
- About a month ago I noticed that it could take 2-5 minutes for my SE to
- 'turn' on after the power was turned on. Eventually it would start and
- everything seemed to be okay. You could do restarts, etc. and there
- would be no delays. As time went on it seemed to take longer and longer
- for the Mac to 'turn-on'. Furthermore, there seemed to be some
- relationship to the amount of time the machine was cold (unpowered) and
- how long it would take to start up. If I did not use it for a week (I
- was sick) it took over an hour to start-up after being powered on.
-
- The only 'strange' hardware that is attached to my Mac is a Thunderware
- PowerPort...but they dismiss any responsibility for my problems. My SE
- seems okay for now but I'm wondering what could have caused this
- problem. I can't believe that it needed to warm up or any such nonsense.
- There was just plain NO RESPONSE when you turned the power switch on.
- I opened er up a few times to check all the connections and it seemed
- pretty solid. (I did not bother to remove the Power Supply).
-
- Anyone got any ideas on this one....

- Color Mac II gaming is here!
-
- I just walked down to my local dealer [MacOrchard in Berkeley, (415)
- 540-6224], and what did they have on the shelves but CRYSTAL QUEST, the
- sequel to the ShareWare game CRYSTAL RAIDERS. It is from Greene, Inc.,
- and available for $28.95 + tax [$40 retail, I think].
-
- It is ***HOT***! The sounds are fabulous! The full-color Mac II
- graphics are spectacular! A friend with a SuperMac monitor complains
- that it isn't full- screen, but it sure takes up the entire Apple Color
- monitor!
-
- The premise of the game is the same as Crystal Raiders, but many
- enhancements have been made. There are lots of different "nasties",
- more help screens, better high score recording, and better control
- (perhaps just because of the desktop bus mouse, or the Mac II). It
- works on lesser Macs, as well.
-
- They include a PD "Sampler" file that I'll upload, stuffed. The sound
- file, PD as well, is 390K. Beware, though! The sampler is absolutely
- addictive. I was exposed to it just yesterday, and I bought the game
- today.

- There's a lot of overhead having a TextEdit record for each cell (near 100
- bytes, if I remember correctly). But you only edit one cell at once, right?
- So why not have a single TextEdit, and move it to wherever the user clicks?
- Doesn't seem inelegant to me (but that's because I use that technique in Acta,
- which being a DA can't spare the memory).

- DiskInfo shows the amount of memory left in the current partition, and the

- Using the alternative icons is simply a matter of using ResEdit on the ICONs

- We like LightspeedC, not MPW C, that's why. I still don't think MPW C is
- intended to be a Macintosh development system -- why such crummy support for
- the toolbox? (Glue to translate strings [which you've gotten from resources
- _anyway_] is not good support.)

- In version 2.0, you don't have to use the string-translating glue. However,
- having painted themselves into a compatibility corner, they are stuck with this
- pitiful all-upper-case naming convention for the rationalized glue.

- If I expand my Mac II from 2Mb to 5Mb, is there any way I can pop the extra 1Mb
- worth of SIMMs into a Plus, to expand it to 2Mb? (Trying to figure if I should
