What is the rumored > release date of HC 2.0? MacWeek had a front page rumor on this in the most recent issue. Since I have no idea whether or not any of it is true, I will only be pointing rather than telling. Front page rumors do, however, seem to map slightly better onto reality than other rumors in this bastion of press release journalism. One surprise in this article was the lack of any mention of the Mr. Coffee interface. One rumor, which I am starting right now, has it that the Mr. Coffee interface will not appear in HC 2.0, but will be released as part of the Caffeine Manager in a later version of the system software. > Andrew Warinner | "Semper ubi sub ubi" - J.

Almost right, but according to some papers I got from dumpster diving (I wasn't really looking for classified information, I just kind of like dumpster diving) it will be called the Caffeine Toolbox.

Rumor has it that the Caffeine Manager is the cause of the delays of System 7.0 but don't quote me on that. Andrew Warinner | "Semper ubi sub ubi" - J.

Well, according to inside sources, all of the source for the Caffeine Manager was lost in the earthquake. Since all software development in Cupertino depends on Caffeine Resources (types 'COLA' and 'KONA', most notably), this slowed down work on both System 7.0 and HyperCard 2.0... -- Amanda Walker InterCon Systems Corporation "Many of the truths we cling to depend greatly upon our own point of view." --Obi-Wan Kenobi in "Return of the Jedi"
