Ummm. AppleTalk describes a set of protocols which were then carried 
via different media. AppleTalk over Apple's shielded cabling was 
LocalTalk while PhoneTalk was carried over 2-wire twisted-pair using 
Farallon's connectors. EtherTalk allowed for AppleTalk over Ethernet 
while TokenTalk was for Token Ring. And so on...

Unfortunately, AppleTalk over any serial cabling was also commonly 
known as just "AppleTalk" with the EtherTalk or TokenTalk variants 
the ones differentiated. Thus AppleTalk over telephone 2-wire , or 
TOPS, or Apple's proprietary cable were called AppleTalk wiring by 
many. The rule seemed to be "if it connects using the printer serial 
port on the back of the Mac, it's Apple/LocalTalk".

LocalTalk was always available on all Macs of that time, with the 
Network CP being used to choose EtherTalk or TokenTalk. The necessary 
software often came on diskettes accompanying the Ethernet or Token 
Ring card as opposed to necessarily being included with the System 
Software.

Oh yeah - don't forget IR/Talk or some such. That's AppleTalk over an 
Infrared connection...

Subject: (Q) free bookmark manager?

Dear Digest readers,
http://www.mac.tucows.com/bookmarkmac.html lists a few bookmark 
managers for the Mac, but I can't seem to find any there or 
http://www.macdownload.com, or http://www.versiontracker.com that do 
one simple thing.   Scan a bookmark or Favorite file, and remove 
those bookmarks that are duplicates automatically.   I have 
concatenated a dozen bookmark files, and now I need to have just my 
duplicates removed.   Is there any freeware that will do that?
URL Manager Pro unforetunately has that disabled in the demo version.
Thank you.

Sincerely,
abrody@smart.net

Subject: [*] SwitchRes 2.4.3J - Japanese Version


This is the Japanese version of the SwitchRes package.

SwitchRes is a little utility that will allow you to switch the
resolution of all your monitors. You can access to all the resolutions
of all your displays in a simple, customizable menu. SwitchRes
incorporates features from the Monitor Resolution, Monitor BitDepth, and
Video Mirroring Control Strip Modules bundled with your system. You can
use its menu in the Menu Bar, use its provided Control Strip Module, or
click on the Finder Desktop with its Contextual Menu Plugin.
SwitchRes has an extensive list of features: 

*You can show and use all available resolutions of your video card, not
just those limited by your monitor. For example, 20 video modes are
available on my PowerMac 7300 internal video board. Enjoy your Apple 15"
monitor in 1024 x 768, or 640 x 480 in 120Hz !
*SwitchRes is totally configurable. You can define which resolutions are
really accessible, and which will require a confirmation.
× 
*You can also create display sets which will allow you to change the
resolution and the depth of all your monitors with just one mouse click,
or just one key. With this new version, you can add scripts to display
sets. That gives SwitchRes the ability to launch a script with just one
key, or when an application is launched...
*You can assign a specific set to an application, so that every time you
use this application, your Mac will automatically switch to your
predefined resolutions. You will find this extremely useful for most
games.
× 
*You can save the position of the icons and the windows on your desktop,
independently from one resolution to the other, unlike the Finder. The
configuration is restored at startup.
*You can script SwitchRes for resolutions and color depth changes.
SwitchRes is even recordable: When SwitchRes is running, every
resolution change is automatically recorded in the script editor

New in version 2.4.3
*Adds the Video Mirroring management in Display Sets 
*Now handles differently the Display Sets that contains settings for
more displays than currently attached.
*Corrects a bug that crashed the unregistered version to work on MacOS 9.1
*Corrects a bug in the Location Manager Module. This module could not work in
some cases, and didnØt retrieve the correct settings to be applied. 
*Corrects a bug that crashed some games, esp. Civilization 2 and Diablo 2

Subject: [*] Udana 1.4


The Udana is a collection of short suttas, each culminating in a short 
verse uttered by the Buddha.  "Udana -- Exclamations of Buddha" randomly 
generates one of those verses each time it is opened, making it a nice 
addition to the Startup Items folder.  Additionally, clicking on the 
quotation will generate a new verse.  The verses can be saved as text 
files, and printed from the "File" menu.

"Udana -- Exclamations of Buddha" is made available for free, as a gift 
of Dhamma.

I was advised to purchase a Palm USB connection kit for this purpose 
and it does have the hardware. It contains a short cable with USB and 
PC serial output. Cost $39 and clone kits supposedly cost $29 (but 
they were out of those at the store I went to).

Unfortunately I do not have any terminal software that can 
communicate out that USB serial port.  Does anyone know of a terminal 
program that can communicate out a USB serial cable?

Subject: [Q] Word 98 Macro Misery

I'm using MS Word '98 on a new G4.  I've recently moved from another 
mac to this one and had no ill effects. But I fear there are some 
settings disrupted with MS Word 98.

I went to create a macro and it complains "that macro could not be 
created". No matter how I attempt it or what it's named, even after 
an (apparently) fresh complete reinstall--always the same. 
Additionally when I attempt to open the Visual Basic Editor it says 
"Could not open macro storage."

As far as I'm capable of discerning, I've killed all the preferences 
files, but, incidentally, my Files Locations in the Preferences 
settings has remained the same.  I've randomly modified this too, to 
no positive effect.  The option for Macro Virus Protection is off.

I've been trying to crack this problem for a week.  Any help appreciated.

Subject: firewire/scsi adapters

i tried several scsi firewire and scsi USB adapters to use with the 
latest iMac DV SE and found that none of them work...crashes or 
freezes with messages such as improperly dismounted volume or disk 
error depending on the drive.  OrangeMicro Connector was one such 
disappointing device and the other was an Entrega USB to SCSI 
Converter.
	I wonder if anyone has had luck with these devices?  My only 
theory about the matter is that there has been some kind of internal 
or software change in OS that none of the adapters are compatible 
with.
	I contacted Apple hoping that they would be willing to shed 
some light on the issue and though they admitted that this was not 
the first they had heard of this problem they saw no need to help me 
with it as it was a third party support issue.  Entrega does not seem 
to exist any longer as they have an unsupported website and even 
their most recent update did not solve my problem and the OrangeMicro 
device though it had an update, it came out too late for me to try it 
as I had returned it to the reseller.
	If that or another converter works with this particular 
version of iMac I would love to hear about it from you out there in 
Cyberland.  REmember, mine is the very latest model iMac so any info 
on earlier models will not be useful as clearly there has been some 
kind of change that has stymied the drivers/ extensions/sim  supplied 
with the devices I tried.
	Thanks in advance...Please email me at nfiertel@ualberta.ca 
with any hints of what works...

Lucent sells the Orinoco RG-1000 Residential Gateway.  It has functionality

Little did I realize in 1986 when I volunteered to get a reservation at an SF restaurant for a group of 20 Info-Mac members that I would be starting a tradition that would last for 15 years.

Well it has lasted.  Netters' Dinner 2001 is here.  Thursday January 11, 2001 we will once again gather at the top of the escalators on the south side of Moscone at the end of the show on Thursday and walk the herd over to the Hunan restaurant on Broadway and Sansome where they have once again prepared our traditional hot and spicy banquet buffet.

Come meet the faces that go with the names you've seen on the Net.  Do some networking with the Macintosh power elite.  We've been celebrating the Net's ability to connect us together far longer than almost anyone.

Dinner is $17 in advance, limited to the first 300 people.

Hi all,

I bought an Orb drive with 4 disks and unfortunately two of them have bad
clusters. I reformatted the disks and expected the clusters to be marked and
not being used, but upon copying files onto the disk the process ran into
the clusters. I reformatted again and again using different tools (MacOS,
Orb Tools, HardDisk Utilities) but without luck. I'm reluctant to throw the
two disks away, but I'm even more reluctant to use them. Does anyone know
how to deal with disks that have bad clusters?

TIA.

Try Claris Home Page 3.0 from www.download.com. You can try it for 30 days
before you have to pay for it. To see an example of what it can do, look at

This is heavy weight stuff and do you really need it? If so, better check
the Macromedia programs; some people have told me they ahead in this area.

Another alternative might be Canvas 7, www.deneba.com, which is a "swiss
army knife" kind of graphics program and at a very reasonable price (very
low!). I am working up on it at present, moving away from Illustrator,
FreeHand and Photoshop, because I see the capability of doing web directly
in it in addition to my usual paper-based graphics work.

Stay far away from Microsloth's Front Page 1.0 for Macintosh. It 
apparently hasn't been supported for several years. It is only a 
shadow of Front Page 98 or 2000 for PC, which works fairly well.   FP 
1.0 crashes the Mac a lot and many of its routines just don't work.

Take a look at Dreamweaver 3. You can d/l a fully functional 30 day 
demo from Macromedia. I like it, finding it relatively easy to use.

Actually, the cost of the Aiport Card is $99.
You CAN set up a computer as a 'Base Station'.
It is user friendly and will not be that much of a challenge.
