About

MDJ Recap #1 is a freely-availble compilation of articles from the first seven weeks (1996.08.12 through 1996.09.27) of the beta-test period of MDJ, the Daily Journal for Serious Macintosh[tm] Users. We know that not everyone can 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 18 feature articles in MDJ, including MacCyclopedia explanatory articles on Background Printing, Extensions, Meta-Content Format, Font Substitution, Aliases and File Kinds; two analysis articles on OpenDoc containing ActiveX and the real story on Apple's K-12 Market Share; four "Press Watch" articles analyzing reporting on Apple's alleged purchase of Be, the Wall Street Journal's claimed "corporate exodus", plus analysis of columns in the San Francisco Examiner and Houston Chronicle. The issue also has several Macintosh Q&A segments on things like hidden rebooting keys, plus three highly opinionated articles detaling "Seven Serious Screw-ups" by Apple, the difficulty of keeping up appearances and a full-blown, in-depth user-accessible technical look at why BeOS can't hold a candle to Mac OS 8 outside of theoretical discussions (a must-read for anyone who thinks such a swap is a good idea). (As it contains about seven weeks worth of articles without news or reviews, this issue is six to eight times larger than a normal daily issue.) This file is in PDF format (Adobe Acrobat) and is fully marked up with bookmarks, articles and Web links for every URL. It has all fonts included for maximum readability, and for those who've previewed MDJ in the past, features a new and much more readable two-column design that fits better on A4 paper. MDJ Recap #1 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.
