TidBITS#528/24-Apr-00

  Want to fight back against spam? Depending on where you live, you
  may be able to sue spammers for filling up your mailbox. Brady
  Johnson begins a multi-part article about the legal reactions to
  spam in the United States. Also in this issue, Jeff Carlson
  explains how he transitioned from Emailer to Eudora, and we note
  Apple's second-quarter profits and the releases of FileMaker
  Developer 5 and REALbasic 2.1. Test your Macintosh knowledge with
  this week's quiz!

Subject: changing systems

To Dr. Peter Stoyanov (and any others that are interested,

This may be more cumbersome than some would wish to do, but the way that
I have handled multiple system folders on a single HD are as follows:

1. Go into the active system folder.
2. Create a new folder. Name it 'Finder Folder' (without the quotes).
3. When you wish to de-activate this system folder, simply move the
Finder into this folder.

Explanation:

One way to activate/de-activate a system folder is to separate (or not)
the System file and the Finder file.

At this point, I would move/clean install another system of choice to
this hd. I would then prepare this new system folder in the same way.

To switch between the two (or more), simply move the Finder file of all
the systems that you want not active into their respective Finder
Folders. Close them up to record this to the system, then move or make
sure that the Finder file of the system folder that you want active is
ourside of the Finder folder (at the same level as the System file.

Hope this is of value.

Subject: DSL Connection for two computers

I'm about to have DSL installed on Saturday. Is there a hardware device that
will allow me to connect two computers (an old PowerPC and a GS laptop?) I
don't want to necessarily run them simultaneously, nor do I want to make the
old PC a "server." But if I use it as a server, can I connect the laptop
using AppleTalk? Both are running System 9.0.4.

Subject: The best project management software???

Could someone tell me what is the best project management software
on any platform and particularly on Mac.
I heard about "Time Line", "FastTrack" and "Microsoft Project".
Are there others????

I known, it would has been much easier if I had asked about
the meaning of life or about the theory of quantum mechanics
fused with general relativity... Anyway, every information
will be appreciated.

Thank you very much.

Subject: Viewing hidden quicktime movies

find a hidden document called "QTPluginTemp", make it visible with software like FileBuddy (ResEdit wouldn't do it) and put .mov behind it or rename it "coolmovie.mov" and you can view the trailers and send them to buddies whenever you like.

That's all, hope it works out.

Subject: Windows 98 driver for Personal LaserWriter 300

Dear Info-Mac folks,

I have an Apple Personal LaserWriter 300 that I would like to use
with both my Mac and a Windows 98 system.

Does Windows 98 come with a driver for the Laserwriter?

If not, where can appropriate drivers be obtained?

Are there any cable considerations?

Thanks for info,
Michael Cook
