Hi, I understand that the complete Mac Tech Notes is available as a HyperCard stack (or more than one...). The questions that come to mind are: what is the newest version, and where do I find it? Are the ones on Sumex the newest? Thanks! --Mike

As an aside, SpInside Mac, the on-line version of Inside Mac volumes I through V is on Phil & Dave's Volume II (The NeXT Generation). It works like the Tech Note Stack, but it has all of IM in it. No more searching through three different volumes to find what you need. Now if only I had enough RAM to run HyperCard and MPW at the same time... :) _______________________________________________________________________________ Dean Yu | E-mail: mystone@caen.engin.umich.edu Mac Support & | Real-mail: Dean Yu Self declared License Czar | Rm 145 Chrysler Building University of Michigan | 2121 Bonnisteel Computer Aided Engineering Network | Ann Arbor, MI 48109 INCLUDE 'Disclaimers.a' | Phone: (313) 763-3070 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Try the Apple.COM FTP archives (130.43.2.2)
They have the *complete* set of them. But be warned: they are really big
and Apple suggests (pleads) that you do not attempt to d/l them during
prime time business hours.
Look in the /pub/dts/mac/tn.stack folders (or something like that..)
Good Luck! ...

This is what I would call totalitarian. I personally feel very strongly that
the government of any country has no right to confiscate materials owned by a
private citizen so long as those materials do not pose a direct danger to the
citizen or to other citizens. A radar detector is intrinsically harmless. I'd
love to see a class action suit against the Canadian government to recover the
cost of all those wantonly destroyed radar detectors. Let's hope the US
government doesn't decide to follow the example of the Canadians.
