Date: Tue, 15 May 84 08:21:27 CDT From: Don Johnson <uw-beaver!dhj@rice.ARPA> To: info-mac@sumex-aim.ARPA Subject: SOFTWARE!! For those who want software: Just thought I would inform you guys that dealers should have demo versions of MacDraw, MacProject, and MacPascal RIGHT NOW. As a consortium university, we are considered a dealer and got ours in the mail yesterday. Included in the shipment was the new Finder, MacWrite, and MacPaint. All seem to work AND there are 10-point fonts in both Geneva, New York, and Geneva. I would add that 20-point fonts are also included, but that write/paint does not let you use that point size directly. Also included, but not in the system resources (in the 'Fonts' file), is the Cairo font. It has NO characters as such, consisting only of graphics 'things'. I will let some energetic youngster type in descriptions of them for info-mac (ever wanted a fried egg in your text for emphasis?). Some of the font errors mentioned by Axler have been fixed. The Finder does take fewer swaps than before (I copied a small file last night in ONE swap). Don Johnson Rice University P.S. Ya should have been at the 100-day-since-Macintosh-announcement party at Apple on May 4. It was GREAT!! In a Wall Street Journal ad placed that day, Apple announced 100 day sales of 72,000. Hence publication in the press of the 'ballpark' number of 70,000.
