From: M.MCLURE%LOTS-B@SU-SCORE.ARPA Does anyone on this list have any experience with a Mac running something faster than the micro-floppies? How fast can 68000's be pushed? Can you envision a time when the Mac 68000 clock rates will be boosted? Are there modifications to the Mac disk code to make it any faster? What will a Mac with a Profile feel like speed-wise? What will the 256K and 512K memory modifications do to the program loading speed? How long till we get a personal computer that feels like a single-user DEC-2060 or or 11/780? Stuart -------

From: mclure@Sri-Unix.arpa Could someone please explain what the barren landscape is when you "bug" "About Finder" and it happens to be Finder Version 1.1? In the old 1.0 version, it was a normal display, but now it is quite strange. Also, I have a gripe about MacWrite. When MacWrite resides on the disk where MacWrite textfiles are, it correctly shows them all when you "bug" "open" in the "File" menu. But when MacWrite resides on another disk, say an external drive disk, it will only show the MacWrite textfiles in the "open" display that reside on the MacWrite disk. It would be very handy if it polled all connected file devices and built a menu of MacWrite textfiles for selection. Stuart
