**Double Your RAM** -- RAM Doubler, Connectix's popular RAM-
doubling utility, now doubles RAM on more Macs than ever before.
The newly released version 1.6 adds compatibility with the
following new Macintosh lines:

* Power Macintosh 7200, 7500, 8500, and 9500
* PowerBook 190 and 5300
* Duo 2300
* Power Macintosh/Performa 5200 and 6200

If you haven't run out to buy one of the new Macintoshes, but do
use RAM Doubler, you may benefit from the fixes also included in
version 1.6. According to the ReadMe file, people using RAM
Doubler on 6100 DOS Compatibles can now successfully transfer
files to floppy disks while in DOS mode. Also, Connectix has fixed
problems with sending AppleMail enclosures over PowerTalk, file
transfer over certain LocalTalk configurations, and an
incompatibility resulting from using both RAM Doubler and
SpeedDoubler together with certain Power Mac upgrade cards. RAM
Doubler 1.6 also improves FWB SCSI JackHammer compatibility and
incorporates the RAM Doubler/Symantec Project Manager 8.0 Patch.
RAM Doubler owners can acquire the update to version 1.6 online
or by calling Connectix and asking them to mail the update on a
floppy disk. If you choose the floppy disk route, note that
Connectix charges a $9.95 shipping and handling fee.

**New Clay Basket and a Native Frontier** -- Last week was a big
one for Dave Winer. First, he released a new beta (1.0b5) of Clay
Basket, his online outliner, bookmark handler, and (most recently)
Web site manager.

http://www.hotwired.com/userland/yabbadabba/

Clay Basket has numerous features that tie in with versions 1.1
and 2.0 of Netscape Navigator and (of course) Frontier. Clay
Basket has some rough edges, but Dave's been making outliners for
years and his experience shows. What's more, Sandra Silcot (whose
HTML Macros made Nisus Writer a highly effective Web publishing
tool) is developing a set of pages about getting started with Clay
Basket.

http://www.unimelb.edu.au/~ssilcot/claystart/

In addition, users of UserLand Frontier (or its free incarnation,
Aretha; see TidBITS-279_) will be pleased to know that a public
beta of a Power Macintosh native version of Frontier was made
available last week. Preliminary tests show astounding performance
improvements (though Frontier was previously no slouch). Users
doing processor-intensive tasks with Frontier or who use it as a
CGI engine on a Macintosh Web server will be pleased with the
results. [GD]

http://www.hotwired.com/userland/yabbadabba/nativefrontierpublicbe_390.html

**Norton Utilities 3.2** -- Symantec Corporation has announced the
availability of Norton Utilities 3.2 for Macintosh, which enables
the disk-recovery and protection package to operate on volumes up
to two terabytes in size. (System 7.5.2 supports volumes that
large; earlier systems only support volumes 2 GB or 4 GB in size.)
Symantec notes that support for volumes larger than 4 GB is the
only change in version 3.2, and unless you use volumes larger than
4 GB there's no need to upgrade from Norton Utilities 3.1. For
people who need the update, Symantec will send disks for $10 plus
shipping and handling, but has no plans to make an updater
available online. Updates from versions of Norton Utilities before
3.1 cost $39.95. Symantec -- 800/441-7234 -- 503/334-6054. [GD]

**Macworld Removes Sign-Ins** -- In a welcome move, Macworld
magazine has eliminated the sign-in and authentication
requirements for many areas of its much-promoted Web site
(including current and back issues of Macworld magazine), although
authentication is still required for message boards and vendor-
based areas. Macworld claims it needs to grab some demographic
information to keep advertisers happy and revenue flowing, but
it's interesting to note that MacUser has never required
authentication on its Web site, which has been around a lot
longer. [GD]

http://www.macworld.com/
http://www.zdnet.com/~macuser/

**Macjordomo 1.0b6** has been released by its author, Michele
Fuortes. The free mailing list server software for Macintosh
includes many of the popular features of products like LISTSERV,
ListSTAR, and Majordomo (for which Macjordomo is named), including
automatic or manual subscribe and unsubscribe features, message
digests, and file retrieval. The new beta-test release offers a
Power Mac-native version, a verbose log option, and other
improvements and bug fixes. [MHA]

**Apple Introduces & Updates Monitors** -- Apple recently
announced the Multiple Scan 1705, an MPR II and Energy Star
compliant 17-inch multi-sync monitor that can handle resolutions
up to 1024 by 768 at 75 Hz (or 1280 by 1024 at 60 Hz). The monitor
uses a flat-square shadow mask tube with a 0.28 mm dot pitch (and
a 15.8-inch viewable image size) rather than the usual Trinitron
tube found in Apple monitors, but at an estimated street price of
$819 it might just be a good buy. Apple also announced it is
upgrading the Apple Multiple Scan 20 display to a .26 mm stripe
pitch Trinitron tube. Though the Multiple Scan 20 is an excellent
monitor, with an Apple Price of $2,149, that extra four inches of
viewable display area comes with a big price tag attached. [GD]

**Swoop to Victory** -- If you don't suffer from repetitive strain
injuries and need an excuse to play more video games, check out
Swoop, a $15 shareware program written by David Wareing and
distributed by Ambrosia Software. Given my (mostly better)
tendonitis, I could not play Swoop for long, but it appears to
live up to Ambrosia's description as "a fast vertical shoot 'em up
arcade game for the Macintosh in which you battle 3D-rendered
aliens with a variety of powerful weapons."

ftp://mirrors.aol.com//pub/info-mac/game/arc/swoop-101.hqx
http://www.digitmad.com/ambrosia/swoop.html

Ambrosia Software has announced a High Score Contest wherein the
player achieving the highest Swoop score by 01-Dec-95 will be
awarded $300; the second- and third-highest scoring contenders
will win $100 and $50 respectively; and the top fifty players will
win t-shirts. To enter you must be a registered user of Swoop, and
have at least Swoop version 1.0.1. You can find out more about the
contest in a document called "Swoop Contest PR.text," which is
installed along with Swoop when you run the Swoop installer.

Power Computing Announces High-End Mac Clones
---------------------------------------------
by Geoff Duncan <[email protected]>

Power Computing today introduced their PowerWave product line,
which currently consists of three new Mac clones built around the
PowerPC 604 CPU, one of which will run at 150 MHz and potentially
be the fastest Macintosh available. Expected to ship in November,
the PowerWave product line features speed, good expansion and
upgrade options, plus the ability to combine PCI and NuBus
expansion slots in the same machine.

http://www.powercc.com/News/95.10.30.html

**PowerWave Models** -- The PowerWave Mac clones have numerical
names - the PowerWave 604/150, 604/132, and 604/120 - with the
number at the end of the model name indicating the CPU speed in
megahertz. The first two models are mini-tower systems, and the
604/120 has a desktop case. All models have the PowerPC 604
processor on a daughter card, allowing the possibility of
upgrading the processor in the future. PowerWave models also offer
up to 1 MB of Level 2 cache, two or three PCI expansion slots (see
below), PCI-based accelerated video, built-in AAUI and 10Base-T
Ethernet, an optional quad-speed CD-ROM drive, and a 10 MB/second
internal SCSI bus. All PowerWave models use eight DIMM slots for a
maximum RAM capacity of 512 MB; in addition, the PowerWaves take
advantage of memory interleaving, so installing matching DIMMs in
adjacent banks enables the computer to use a 128-bit memory path
for increased performance. The PCI video card included with the
systems comes standard with 2 MB of VRAM, allowing 24-bit color to
a resolution of 832 by 624 pixels. The card can be upgraded to 4
MB of VRAM, for 24-bit support up to 1152 by 870, and support for
monitor resolutions up to 1600 by 1200. In addition, the PCI video
card features connectors for both standard Macintosh monitors and
VGA monitors, and claims to offer software-only configuration for
VGA monitors.

The mini-tower cases of the PowerWave 604/150 and 604/132 feature
three drive bays accessible from the front of the machine, as well
as an internal 3.5-inch bay that can hold either one full-height
or two half-height devices, giving these machines plenty of
storage options. The 604/120's desktop case doesn't lack in this
department either, with two front-accessible bays and two internal
bays that can handle 3.5-inch full-height devices. Front-
accessible bays are important for systems using removable media
(optical disks, DATs, or other systems), and the ability to handle
full-height drives is important for large capacity hard disks.

Pricing for PowerWave models will vary significantly because Power
Computing allows customers to request custom configurations.
Direct pricing for base models of the 604/150, 604/132, and
604/120 is set at $4,499, $3,699, and $3,199 respectively. To get
a better idea what your preferred configuration would cost, check
out Power Computing's online "configurator," which features
complete model specifications and lets customers check prices on
specific configuration options.

http://www.powercc.com/BYOB/index.html

**Stargate** -- Possibly the most intriguing aspect of the
PowerWaves is Power Computing's proprietary ASIC (Application
Specific Integrated Circuit), codenamed Stargate. Stargate enables
Power Computing to include both PCI slots and NuBus slots in the
same machine; users interested in a PowerWave can either get a
machine with three PCI slots - just like the Power Mac 8500, 7500,
or 7200 - or they can spend about $250 extra and get a PowerWave
with two PCI slots _and_ two NuBus slots, which sit on a riser
card plugged into a connector on the motherboard.

The ability to mix PCI and NuBus peripherals should tempt many
Macintosh owners who currently have investments in NuBus hardware
that otherwise could not easily move to a PCI-based Mac. (Second
Wave manufactures external devices that let NuBus cards be used
with PCI Macs, but they're pretty expensive.) However, before
slamming money into a PowerWave with PCI and NuBus capability,
it's important to note that many people who currently own NuBus
cards have no reason to bring them over to PCI Macs. The two most
common types of NuBus cards are networking (Ethernet) and video
cards. All PCI Macs - both Apple's and Power Computing's - include
built-in Ethernet, so bringing over an Ethernet NuBus card is
pointless. Second, even accelerated NuBus video cards typically
aren't as fast as PCI video cards, and cost considerably more.
Unless you already own a specialized (or very costly) NuBus video
card, it doesn't make economic sense to try to shoe-horn it into a
PCI Mac. Nonetheless, for owners of specialized NuBus peripherals
(high-end digitalization and capture, high-speed SCSI cards,
specialized interfaces to lab or research equipment, and others),
Stargate may well provide a viable and inexpensive bridge into the
world of high-performance Macs.

**Best of Both Worlds?** Power Computing's engineering on its
first Mac clones is widely regarded as being top-notch, and it
will be interesting to see how independent lab tests rate the
PowerWaves on performance and compatibility. Assuming Power
Computing lives up to its reputation, these machines could be
serious contenders in the high-end Macintosh market - especially
with their ability to integrate existing NuBus peripherals - even
though they lack the sophisticated AV features present in Apple's
current line of Power Macs. However, the long-term viability of
Power Computing machines remains untested. Power Computing works
very closely with Apple (and Apple is going to some lengths to
provide support for clone manufacturers), but it's important to
remember this is a new road rather than a familiar hometown street
- there may yet be unpaved sections ahead.

Another interesting aspect of the new PowerWaves is that they
solidly target the high end Macintosh world. Part of the reason
Apple opened up to cloning was to gain market share for the
Macintosh and provide lower-cost options to consumers. So far,
however, Macintosh clones have tended to target Apple's markets in
publishing, multimedia, and graphics, rather than the low-end
consumer market or education. Although I've heard rumors of
forthcoming Power Computing machines that will cost less than
$1,000, one wonders if clone companies are trying to open new
Macintosh markets or merely carve up Apple's existing user base.

Cogito AirGo Wireless
---------------------
by Mark Anbinder, News Editor <[email protected]>

It's not the first cellular modem PC Card for PowerBooks and other
laptops, but the AirGo PhoneCard, announced today, is the first
with a unique combination of data, fax, and voice capabilities for
cellular and land-line communications. The new Type III PC Card
for Macintosh or Windows computers comes from AirGo
Communications, Inc., a new subsidiary of Dayna Communications.

http://www.dayna.com/

The AirGo PhoneCard works in a Type III PC Card slot such as the
one in the PowerBook 5300 and the earlier PCMCIA adapter for
500-series PowerBooks (each slot can support a single Type III
card or two Type II cards). While the PhoneCard is docked, users
can send and receive faxes, use the modem for data at up to 14.4
Kbps, or place and receive voice calls, using the cellular circuit
or a land-
line connection. The earphone jack supports any
compatible earphone, such as Jabra's earPHONE, for hands-free use.

http://www.pulver.com/jabra/

AirGo's included PhoneBook software enables users to keep track of
contact names, phone numbers, and addresses, as well as the
phone's use. The software can download up to a hundred contacts to
the card itself.

The package also includes the company's CardPhone handset, which
serves as a stand-alone cellular phone when the PhoneCard is
inserted. The handset's display makes it easy to access contact
information that's been stored in the card. The LCD display also
shows the usual signal strength, battery charge, and roaming
indicators.

No final price has been set for the card and phone handset, which
are expected to ship around the end of the year, but the company
expects "unsubsidized" prices to be around $1,000 for card,
handset, and software, along with a battery charger and a single
battery. Lest that price scare you, keep in mind that even the
cellular phones given away for free (or for $20-50) by cellular
service companies have unsubsidized prices in the $200-500 range.
This package, purchased with cellular service, is likely to be
much less expensive when it becomes available.

You Move Me
-----------
by Adam C. Engst <[email protected]>

Tonya and I just moved, and although moving is a traumatic
experience in the best of times, it gets hairy when you try to
move computers and not have much down time. Most people probably
aren't in quite the same situation we are, but I thought I'd pass
on some of the strategies we employed to retain what little of our
sanity remains after dealing with a sick cat who needs special
food that makes our other cat throw up instantly.

**Boxes** -- By far the most important thing I can recommend is to
save your original computer boxes, along with their original
styrofoam packing material. Tonya would call me retentive about
it, but I save the box for anything the size of a hard drive or
larger (which includes the incredibly ungainly Telebit
WorldBlazer, which is larger than our PowerBook 100). Even I draw
the line at boxes for normal modems, trackballs, and Ethernet
connectors, since you can pack them in a box with cables and other
miscellaneous electronic gear. I realize that original boxes are
bulky and hard to store, but they stack well in an attic (we're
considering using them as room dividers due to a lack of attic
space in otherwise spacious quarters) and enable you to avoid
throwing out the styrofoam, which generally isn't easy to recycle.
Whatever the pain of storage, it's worth it for the knowledge that
your computer equipment (which may be among your most valuable
possessions) is as safe as possible from the vagaries of the
movers or from your well-meaning but butter-fingered friends.

**Cables** -- My next piece of advice concerns cables and may earn
me some more retentive points. As long as you're dismantling
everything and hopefully sorting through cluttered boxes of
miscellaneous cables, take a few minutes to label and organize
cables into basic categories. I now have plastic bags for cables
and adapters related to power, SCSI, telephones, serial
connections, and so on. I didn't worry so much about the
organization before moving, because although my cable box was
messy, I had a pretty good idea of where everything was. However,
finding the cable box itself is hard enough among the detritus of
the move, and trying to find a specific cable within that box
would have been just about impossible without prior organization.

Speaking of cables, if you're used to networking two or more Macs
together, consider visiting your local Homeowner Hell store and
purchasing a few 50 and 25 foot lengths of 4-wire phone cable,
along with several of those handy little connectors that let you
join two cables into one. In a pinch, remember that PhoneNet
connectors can also serve as temporary methods of patching
together two phone cords (for either LocalTalk or the phone). In
our case, we wanted to create an ad hoc LocalTalk network until we
wired for Ethernet, and between that and some awkwardly located
phone jacks, we used close to 200 feet of cable. It's not
expensive and it never hurts to have it around.

My final cable comment is that you should think about how you will
be getting power to your Mac or Macs. Often when you move, the
power outlets aren't in quite the right spot, and you need to use
an extension cord or power strip or something. We also strongly
recommend that you consider getting a UPS (uninterruptible power
supply) if the power in the new area is at all flaky. They're
mildly expensive (several hundred dollars for a good one), but the
peace of mind they provide is well worth it. If a UPS protects you
from losing significant work just once, it has paid for itself,
and it's even more worthwhile if it prevents a piece of more
expensive equipment from being damaged when a tree branch hits a
power line. (The electric company will reportedly often turn the
power off, on, and off again in an attempt to burn the branch off
the line, and one of our hard disks once fell victim to this
practice.) We now have four UPSs, having just bought another one
because the our SE/30 server can no longer share mine, being in a
different room.

**Furniture** -- We took the opportunity of moving to refit our
offices with good desks that can be adjusted to proper ergonomic
heights. I've been working on a door slung across two cubbies
since 1988, and although my sister and I chopped an inch and a
half off the bottom of the cubbies three years ago when my hands
were hurting badly, it still wasn't a good solution. After lusting
for the pricey AnthroCart desks - which seem infinitely adjustable
and sport more accessories than Barbie - we happened on excellent
substitutes at the Swedish housewares and furniture store, IKEA.
Our desks, made by a Swedish company called Jerker (I suspect it
sounds better in Swedish), consist of two side supports with holes
drilled every inch or so. They come with a desk platform and a
monitor shelf standard, and you can flexibly adjust the height
when you assemble them. The desk platform has two slide-out
shelves on either side for holding papers or perhaps the mouse.
Although not as easy to accessorize as the AnthroCart furniture,
the Jerker desks can add an extension shelf that rises above the
monitor shelf, and rotating platforms that attach to the side
supports.

Tonya's desk doesn't have the extension shelf, and she placed her
two rotating platforms on the right-hand side, the lower one for
her LaserWriter Select 360, and the upper one for a Color
OneScanner. I got the extension shelf, being taller, and put my
two rotating platforms on either side for holding PowerBooks at
typing height while standing up. The desks take an hour or so to
put together with the included graphical instructions (which were
much appreciated, since we don't know any Swedish), and seem to be
extremely sturdy. The secondary reason for getting new desks is
that we had no room in our old offices for some equipment we'd
received several months ago as part of payment for a white paper
about the Internet that I wrote for Apple. (Ask your dealer if you
want a copy.) Now I'm up to using a 20" monitor as my main screen
and a 15" as my secondary, and Tonya's using a 17" as her main
screen and a 15" as her secondary (and Geoff uses a 15" and a 17"
as his two monitors). Needless to say, we can't recommend multiple
monitor setups too highly, and we consider them one of the most
significant reasons to use a Mac over a PC.

Oh, the Jerker desks from IKEA cost about $240 for the desk, $30
for the extension shelf, and $15 each for the rotating platforms,
which you can get with a large shelf (as we did), or a smaller
shelf for holding a phone. They're pretty heavy, so shipping might
be expensive, but if you have an IKEA store near you, check them
out sometime.

**Connectivity** -- Finally, if you're as connected as we are,
give some thought to your connectivity when you move. We went from
a 56K frame relay Internet connection and two analog phone lines
to a single analog line that we have to share for modem and voice
use. We had hoped to have at least more analog lines in quickly,
but due to lack of wires, U.S. West hasn't provided them just yet.
So, to enable people to leave messages when the phone is busy
(which is often, with two people using modems), we're thinking of
having the phone company install voicemail until our other lines
appear. Equally serious in many ways has been the slowdown in
dealing with Internet email, and for that I set up AutoShare to
reply to all my incoming messages. It tells people why my response
time may be much slower than in the past and also provides them
with email (<[email protected]>) and Web pointers to my
Frequently Asked Question list, which answers many of the
questions I get via email.

http://king.tidbits.com/adam/FAQ.html

AutoShare is good about not sending replies to addresses that I've
preset as being mailing lists, and it also only sends one response
per person, even if they send me more than one message. AutoShare
only works with Apple Internet Mail Server (or the older
MailShare), but you may be able to simulate the same thing with
your provider using the Vacation program. Not all providers will
have it installed, but try using the Vacation command from the
Unix prompt, or try MR Mac's VacationMail program, a shareware
Macintosh program that communicates with your host to set up the
Vacation program.

ftp://mirror.aol.com//pub/info-mac/comm/tcp/mail/auto-share-10.hqx
ftp://mirror.aol.com//pub/info-mac/comm/tcp/mail/vacation-mail-111-demo.hqx

I can't pretend that this advice will make your move go smoothly,
since that would violate a basic law of the universe. But if you
can reduce the tension of fighting with your Mac and your
connectivity during the move, that's a good thing and worth the
attempt.
