I think I've mentioned this before (if not on this list then another one) but I'm going to mention it again because I just think it's so great. :) The local independent weekly is still using compacts for everything. They have several Classics and SEs that the reporters use. They're all networked with localtalk and the reporters dump their finished articles in an Appleshare "dropbox". Okay, it's not *all* compacts - the publisher has a 7200 with a 21" monitor, but he and I were talking a few months back and he said he misses his SE because it was so portable. :) The paper was started in 1987 and I have a hunch that some of those SEs have been there ever since! -- *** Amber Rhea *** [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.tangerinecs.com /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign \ / No HTML/RTF in email X No Word docs in email / \ Respect open standards! -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/>.
