Dear Friends,
Thank you for pointing out that I send ridiculous dates.
I wish it were something interesting of the kind mentioned below.
Unfortunately not. It has to do with bugs of SYSTEM 9 of Macintosh. I
bought their last posch Powerbook model to take with me on a short
sabbatical, that seems to be almost OK. I say Almost! It probably could be
corrected a long time ago, but MACINTOSH' SERVICE STINKS! THEIR HOME PAGE
IS FULL OF ADVERTISEMENT BUT WHEN YOU LOOK FOR SUPPORT YOU GET NOTHING!
NOBODY TO ADDRESS, BE IT E-MAIL, THE WEB, SNAILMAIL. IT'S A PITTY THEY
DETERIORATED SO MUCH!
Hoping this gets to their closed ears/eyes,
Jacob
