About

MDJ Recap #2 is a freely-availble compilation of articles from the October 1996 (1996.09.30 through 1996.10.31) of the beta-test period of MDJ, the Daily Journal for Serious Macintosh[tm] Users. We know that not everyone could participate in our beta-test, and that not everyone who wanted one of our free ten-issue trial subscriptions caught some of the articles they wanted to see, so we're making this issue available to the Macintosh community. It contains stories compiled from 11 feature articles in MDJ, including MacCyclopedia explanatory articles on the Macintosh's file system (explaining why you always seem to waste so much disk space), followed by in-depth looks at the history of fonts, the QuickDraw imaging system, and how printing *really* works. There's also analysis on Mac OS clone pricing and feared "price wars," and an exclusive look at the oft-reported press stories saying "Macintosh software sales are down" when the reporting agency revises their figures later to indicate sales may be up *more than 50%!* The issue also has several Macintosh Q&A segments on things like font style linking and using PICT files in desktop publishing programs, plus a highly opinionated article on examining the consequences of your decisions before you take actions. This file is setext format, and is best viewed through an setext viewer such as Easy View due to its size. If you'd like to mimic the print/PDF version (also available), set your styles so that "Hot" is bold-italic, and underscore is italic. Our setext formatter uses _underlines_ for words that are emphasized with italics in the PDF version, to avoid ~a~lot~of~tildes~between~words. MDJ Recap #2 is freely distributable through electronic services, but may not be modified, excerpted or edited in any way without permission, nor may it be distributed on physical media without permission. See the end of the issue for details. --- Matt Deatherage GCSF, Incorporated
