[comp.sys.mac] new Macs and Option-key processing

saunders@batcomputer.tn.cornell.edu (kevin eric saunders) (05/01/87)

   Oh, gosh, I just got the official word over AppleLink on how to deal 
with the newly-recreated Option-E,I,N,U eater on the new Macs:
"We will send you the documentation we're working on as soon as it's 
available."  Gee, now that we broke BOTH the old kluges, we'll need to 
come up with something new....  

   "I was surrounded by the four keys ... I just wanted to strike out 
at them, to get back--I shot them down one by one, from left to right ...."

   Coming soon to a Mac near you:  
      "The option-key interpreter that WOULD NOT DIE!"

   Irritated,
   kevin

   Why worry about the option key at all? If you are using an SE or II they have
a real control key. Just look for control-E etc.

Our team usually puts the other woman at second base, where the maximum
possible number of males can get there on short notice to help out in
case of emergency.  As far as I can tell, our second basewoman is a
pretty good baseball player, better than I am, anyway, but there's no
way to know for sure because if the ball gets anywhere near her, a male
comes barging over from, say, right field, to deal with it.  She's been
on the team for three seasons now, but the males still don't trust
her.  They know, deep in their souls, that if she had to choose between
catching a fly ball and saving an infant's life, she probably would
elect to save the infant's life, without ever considering whether there
were men on base.
