Subject: (A) Found Entourage to Eudora script
Dear Digest readers,
Much to my surprise, I found a script that if put in the Entourage
Scripts folder will export Entourage mailboxes to Eudora mailboxes as
long as there is more than one message in the mailbox:
http://homepage.mac.com/WebObjects/File ... aring.html
It is the Eudora Export E script on the above URL. Thank you to all
who replied...and no Eudora only recognizes Outlook mailboxes and not
Entourage since Entourage stores all its mailboxes in a single file.
Sincerely,
[email protected]

This week we examine two fixtures in the technology landscape:
modems and databases. Kevin Savetz contributes a look at V.92, the
next modem standard for those who can't get broadband connections,
and Jonathan Rentzsch starts a look at relational databases for
Mac OS X by explaining what a relational database actually is. In
the news, Apple releases Mac OS X 10.0.3, Casady & Greene
discontinues SoundJam, Macromedia ships FreeHand 10, and we note
the passing of author Douglas Adams.

Opening the case is in order to get at the PSU is not simple. You need to
remove the following:
* Drive bezel
* Drive security bracket
* Front panel control
* Floppy drive
* CD-ROM drive
* Hard drive
* I/O door
* Logic board
* Top cover and shield
* Shield/wiring harness
* Fan/video card bracket
which just leaves the PSU (and speaker) attached to the base plate! Most
of the individual steps are straightforward, but you must take care when
removing the top cover and shield, as the metal shield has the floppy
drive cable attached underneath it.
Good Luck!

Subject: Times Bold becomes Times Bold Italic?
Dear All,
since a few weeks ---I can't recall exactly when the effect appeared--- my
G3 PowerBook (running system 8.6) is confused about some fonts. In
particular, times bold has become times bold italic... It not only annoying
but the freak aspect worries me.
I tried many things apart short of doing a fresh reinstall but the problem
persists (even with all extensions off). Worse: often when I make a change
in the Fonts folder the Finder crashes at the next startup, which suggests
to me some deeper problem. Thing is, I understand the principles of bitmap
fonts and truetype fonts (at least I think do) but postscript fonts and
what ATM does are complete mysteries to me so I have no idea where to look.
Is this a mild symptom or is my computer suffering from some serious
illness (and should I take emergency procedures immediately)? Does anyone
know?
Thanks in advance,
Minus van Baalen

It's never really bothered me, although that could be because of the way I
work. I tend to orient similar windows spatially so that I can tell them
apart, e.g., "local" window on the left, "remote" window on the right. (I
only just now noticed the Local/Left/L and Remote/Right/R correspondence,
which possibly also helps on a subconscious level. Amazing what you discover
when you try to explain something to someone else
This isn't a problem exclusive to Mac OS X either --- you get exactly the
same problem under Mac OS 9 and earlier when you connect to an AppleShare
server. Mac OS X exacerbates it somewhat with its not-as-good support for
spatial orientation of windows, but you can get around that on the fly. The
real problem under Mac OS X arises when you use column view, as the windows
don't look any different and often look like part of the same file system
(which is I think intentional, deriving from the Unix approach).
An extreme example of this is what I have at home: I have a directory on my
NetBSD box mounted on my Mac OS X box as part of the normal directory
structure. About the only indication that the OS provides is that the mount
point looks like a server alias, but once you've browsed into it it just
looks like part of the local file system. Fortunately I don't have identical
directories on both machines like you do so it's not a major problem for me.
