Subject: [*] boot-up-speaker-1.0.hqx
Boot Up Speaker is a simple system extension which speaks "Welcome to
Macintosh" early in the start-up process when you boot up your Mac. This
is especially cool when you have onlookers (particularly PC users who
always ask "why doesn't my PC say anything like that?"). Based on
original code of now defunct Welcome Speech extension. Simply drag the
Boot Up Speaker extension to your system folder to install.

Subject: [*] SpeedApp 2.1.2J - Japanese Version
This is the Japanese version of the SpeedApp package.
SpeedApp is the fastest way for to run an application on PowerMacintosh
computers! Using a shortcut, you can call from the Finder this pretty
utility (similar to Sherlock), typie an application name (or a
portion of it) in the main window and press the Enter/Return key on your
keyboard to quickly and easily launch the application you want to use.
Thanks to SpeedApp you don't need to touch your mouse for all these
steps. Using SpeedApp you will not need to open folders, or create
aliases anywhere to quickly and easily access your applications. Thanks to
SpeedApp you can run every application installed in your Macintosh
without needing to remember where it is!
System Requirements:
SpeedApp requires a Power-PC based Mac with Mac OS 8.5 or higher
installed and 2MB of available ram. SpeedApp also can be configured by
its extention, which allows pre Mac OS 9 users to configure Fkeys to run
it automatically. SpeedApp INIT also allow the Mac OS users to configure
a different keyboard shortcut than Fkeys.

Subject: MacOS X server upgrade?
Hi,
we have a G3 which came with MacOS X server (unlimited) but we never used
the software. The G3 is used with MacOS 9.1 and is not available as server,
so I want to set up our new G4 as a MacOS X server. I just got off the phone
with Apple New Zealand and there is apparently no upgrade path - we would
need to buy the full retail package AGAIN. Why is this ridiculous situation
not mentioned ANYWHERE? Your computer dies, you upgrade - and you can't use
your US$1000 software anymore???
That stinks!
Best Regards
Markus

Subject: trouble printing
My printer (StyleWriter 2500) has stopped printing. When I try to print I
get the message: "The serial port is currently in use by another
application. Please quite that application and print again." There is no
other application using the serial port. I have restarted and rebuilt the
desktop but the problem persists. It is not a hardware problem since when I
boot from a system on an external hard drive the printer works fine.
Any ideas what the problem might be and how to resolve it.
Thanks,
> Ezra
