Dour prognostications for the new year have failed to materialize, but other=
troubles abound: we look at Apple's OT Tuner 1.0, the problem that sparked=
it, and cover sources of network security information. We also note updates=

Now Up-to-Date & Contact. Changing topics, we interview Neil Shapiro about=
the Internet reappearance of MAUG, the first online Apple community. This=

Hello, all!
It's been a while (too long) since you've seen anything come out of
Info-Mac. This message is the first step in correcting that situation!
We have a new distribution mechanism, as you've probably already heard.
If all goes well, and we certainly hope it does, you will be getting
this message twice:
o First, it will be delivered directly to each Info-Mac subscriber's mailbox.
o Next, you should receive it as an Info-Mac Digest - in fact, it
will be the only message in that digest.
Assuming that this acid test passes successfully, regular delivery of
the Info-Mac Digest will resume!
Thanks for your patience.
GO MACINTOSH! GO APPLE!
