This is an alternate opening HTML page for the BMW CyberDrive promotion made primarily for Mac MS Internet Explorer users who are unable to access the CyberDrive CD-ROM while online. It contains links to all the viewable QuickTime and QuickTimeVR movies hidden on the CyberDrive CD-ROM so you can access them at full speed whether online or offline. It opens the CyberDrive web site in a separate browser window so that the movies can be "sort of" integrated into the total presentation. (I left off a few movies that were not browser viewable, but have included a text listing of the CD's catalog if you want to try to extract them.) I slapped this page together without the knowledge or consent of BMW or anyone else. It's OK with me to include it in the Info-Mac CD, but be aware that the CyberDrive promotion ends in July 1997. Enjoy.

Are you too frightened to look? I didn't think so. Grab this self-viewing DocMaker file to discover what those zany Apple engineers and programmers have hidden inside your Macintosh and Newton. You may be amazed! Welcome to the first Easter release of the world's largest collection of Apple easter eggs. In fact, there are over 200 of them! This is a compilation of secrets stuffed inside of your Macintosh or Newton by Apple programmers and engineers, which are not accessible without doing something that you wouldn't normally do. Easter eggs include random jokes, elaborate credit screens, or hard-to-find games that are meant to give the creator a little fame, also adding a personal touch to the best computer on earth. For Example: One well known easter egg is if you type "secret about box", in System 7.5, in Stickies and drag it to the desktop. You will be able to play a game, or you can see and move a virtual flag on the new PCI Macs in System 7.5.2 & 7.5.3. Download this file for more info. All eggs only apply to Apple Computer made products so any Mac or Newton owner can try them without having to deal with other software. This file has been mentioned in MacWorld Magazine, put on CD's, mentioned in books and E-Zines, was a most popular download on AOL, and is a top download at many other software sights. The upgrade: Version 1.4 has all of the eggs in previous versions and plenty more. I did not have a main focus for this release but there are many excellent and detailed additions, and even a peek at the first Copland easter egg. I also fixed spelling, made many corrections, and added roughly 50 more eggs to the collection. Also, with the release of DocMaker 4.6, there is a much better interface and I cleaned things up a bit. There are so many changes I can not list them all. Download this file, look around, and have fun! Made with DocMaker, which means it is stand-alone. It requires no other helper applications but a decompressor. A Newton only list of easter eggs is also available for all PC owners. #### TEXT better-8bit-qt-color.txt **** From: AvramD@aol.com Date: Sat, 02 Jul 94 16:22:35 EDT Subject: copy of better-8bit-qt-color.txt for archives Here you go Igor... Thanks! ---------------------- If you've seen some really beautiful 16 or 24 bit quicktime moovs on someone else's expensive Mac, and you've seen really beautiful GIF images on your own piddling 8 bit Mac (256 colors), and you whish you could get the quality of the later when viewing the former (and you don't mind run-on sentences), then you've come to the right posting! This is a simple trick that anyone can do to improve the color of quicktime moovs on a mac that can only display 256 simultaneous colors. It doesn't always work, and sometimes it makes them look much worse. But there are lots of moovs out there that it does help, and hey - it's free! Background (experienced graphics people can skip this): Color Macs can actually display over 16 million colors.

A complete online manual for dealing with your Macs problems. WHAT'S NEW? Over 300 additional system error listings have been added. A chapter explaining over 20 of the most common system errors is also included at the request of several users. WHAT IS CHIRON? Chiron is a self-running application that contains a wealth of information helpful to most Macintosh users. This version of Chiron includes information on the following subjects: - System Error Code Listings - These chapters list and describe the type of system errors indicated by the I.D. number in System Error dialogs. Also includes in depth description of over 20 of the most common errors. - Virus and Trojan Horse Listing - This chapter lists and explains all currently known Macintosh virus and trojan horses, plus ways to prevent virus and trojan horse infections and simple ways to clense your system of those unwanted viruses. - Newton Error Codes - This chapter explains what the various error codes are for Apple's Personal Digital Assistant (PDA). - The Sad Mac - This chapter is very helpful if you can't get a Mac to start up. Often, if there is a problem with the hardware the Macintosh will display an error code at start-up time (often referred to as a "Sad Mac"). This describes what the problems these error codes represent on ALL Macintosh's from the Mac 128k up to the latest models, excluding the PowerMacs. - Crash Recovery Strings - This chapter contains all the information I could find on using your Macintosh's programmer switch (see user manual for more info) to successfully recover from a crash with only minimal damage's. - How to Avoid Another Bomb - This chapter explains how you can prevent that dreaded bomb dialog. IS THIS FREEWARE? Yep, no charge. I originally compiled this information for my own personal reference. But, at the request of several Mac Users I have posted it online. ---------------- The author can be contacted at: Chiron v2.4 Rob Cummings 104 Evelina Drive Marlborough, MA 01752-1088 or fontesb@meol.mass.edu #### BINHEX cmyk-chart-pdf.hqx **** From: scott@rabid.com Subject: cmyk color charts These CMYK charts can be accessed with Adobe Acrobat Reader 3.0.

I posted this note on a Rochester, NY FC BBS (Mac's Last Stand 716-247-9056) and the one reply todate (last note of this message) makes it seem that this new policy might be more Apple's than CompUSA's fault. I haven't heard of this new policy of Apple's affecting other stores. While it is not uncommon for manufacturers to get very very tough on their suppliers, this is the first time that I have heard of a sales outlet getting beat up!

There are some PC's to be connected as well. > > However, he is working in a Mac-hostile environment (tm) and now his > system-administrator is going to refuse to connect his Mac because he > believes that Macs with their AppleTalk-protocol are a serious security > risk (he works in a hospital and the network is TCP/IP-based with > connections to other hospitals). > > Is it really possible for AppleTalk-packets to bypass certain gateways and > other protection schemes that IP-packets can't? Here are the answers I got (thanks). The consensus seems to be that 1) Macs are secure on the net and MacTCP talks the same IP as UNIX-boxes and PC's 2) Routers have to be explicitly configured to pass AppleTalk packets on 3) A lone Mac doesn't need to use AppleTalk and, if necessary, AppleTalk can easily be switched off via the chooser 4) When used, AppleTalk and protocols like NetBEUI and Windows for Workgroups broadcast their presence on the net but this shouldn't cause trouble. #### BINHEX macs-talkin-dictionary-22.hqx **** From: jeffsapple@earthlink.net Subject Mac's Talkin' Dictionary 2.2 File Size = 2.8 MB compressed and 6 MB uncompressed.

It is basically a compilation of hints and tips from a few of you on the InterNet and on TeNET, the Texas Education Network. Most of the comments and hints have the original address, date, and subject header intact, some don't. All have appeared publically. But, for the most part, these are valuable nuggets of information and I for one, am very grateful and I'll bet these have helped thousands upon thousands of folks world-wide as they are shared.

This is written with a Macintosh novice in mind but contains useful information for all levels of Macintosh users. There are two versions of this troubleshooting presentation, but both have identical content. "Troubleshooting 101 IA.sit" (or "Troubleshooting 101 IA") is the "basic" presentation. "Troubleshooting 101 IA wM.sit" (or "Troubleshooting 101 IA w MUSIC") contains background music which plays throughout the presentation. This is the "Troubleshooting 101 IA" version. It requires a Macintosh with a 14" monitor and capable of displaying 256 colors or more. The "Troubleshooting 101 Presentation" was created by the same author of the "Troubleshooting 101 DA".
