I know everybody is looking forward to system 7 (except all those poor inits and cdevs) and everybody is irritated that Apple didn't get the upgrades ready before the announcement. I am also. Especially since I got my IIsi a week ago and now find out it'll cost me for the current system (can't have everything I guess). But I do think we all owe a thanks to Mark Johnson and the rest at Apple who are trying so hard to get FTP.APPLE.COM up so we can get the system software sometime this month. I'd have to wait weeks to get it from the academic dealer here since they don't seem to have looked into distributing it until now. My modem may be running all night, but at least I'll get it thanks to Mark and the rest of them.

Microcenter, a large Columbus-based computer store, had a big pile of system 7 upgrades stacked in the center of their showroom yesterday. I didn't buy it because they wanted $99 which seems high since I can get the software for free by ftp'ing it (whenever ftp.apple.com is up.) I'm concerned about the information that TCP and AUFS do not work. Are these completely dead in system 7 or do they work under specific conditions? Our lab uses both, so we won't be able to upgrade until we can get working versions of these programs. ---Todd -- Todd R.

You will lock up your Mac when throwing away from an AUFS volume. We get around the problem for now by using Disktop to delete AUFS files.

I sent the workaround to the CAP maintainers in Australia after I tested it with a late beta version of 7.0, and they recently posted a patch file to the net.....
