Has anyone noticed that hitting a bunch of rapid fire deletes (a nasty
habit I'll grant you) causes the Workspace Manager to wedge? Maybe I
should save my rapid fires for video games.

Do any users (besides myself) look at and edit a lot of postscript files? In 0.9 I have not been able to view multi-page postscript files (the new YAP does not support this function). I realize that YAP was not designed to view multi-page files, and a new app is available called "Preview" to support this function, however, this app does not function in 0.9. Is there a hack/fix available to either use the old YAP (I don't think copying the old version of YAP from 0.8 and rebuilding will work) or make the new YAP or Preview apps work for multi-page files. Any Help would be GREAT! Thanks, John DeFord (Johnny the Cursed One)

How 'bout something a little closer to home: I was pretty shocked the day someone walked up to me and informed me that rapid-firing the power key by itself would power off my NeXT. I've been able to reproduce the result, but not every time. This was on my soon- to-be-upgraded 0.8 machine, anyone care to try this with 0.9 and see if they kept the feature? -Steve Mattson Computer Aided Engineering Network University of Michigan hobbes@caen.engin.umich.edu
