All: The Mac magazines are in trouble and they will always be behind. They subsist on advertising. With the failure of so many small Apple developers, the ad money isn't there right now. As the Mac sales continue to increase, the developers will move back to the Mac platform and will then be advertising more. I think it could take some time. Development of products takes some time. But after the products are developed the ads will return and there will be more Mac magazines again. Off Topic: Answer from soup... "Trash the Finder preferences." Thanks, All. Linda

Linda, What a clever virus you have. It does just that one funny thing?? Years ago on dos there was a virus that came out of hiding when you typed an executable file like: win <return> as soon as you hit return a small demone came onto the screen and grabbed the last letter and took it away(in this case the 'n') and then the error message "bad file name" came out. The only way to run was to add any extra letter to an exe. I wonder if a funny mac virus that does that funny little taks has been made. It is like the word macro viruses in a way. Here is another topic from a fast stock buy group I am in. What do you make of it?? TO ALL MEMBERS..... Please go immediately to the site below for the incredible news . maccentral.com Check this link out........ the story was leaked by the media.... they had the directors of THW up all last night editing the story, they said they would run it with or without verification...... also get this MacWeek is running a story about this in their Monday issue. Maccentral readership (internet hits) is 120,000 people per day, Macweek readership is over 1,000,000 per issue. The company will be issuing the first of many press releases on Monday. This recent HUGE news regarding Totally Hip Software THW-ASE took me by surprise with regards to its magnitude. They are due to have over 10 newspapers across Canada and the United States publish incredible articles about them over the next two weeks. MacCentral was the first to leak the story of their new technology - the story went out Friday night. Macweek is also going to run an article in their Monday edition. This should boost the stock Tuesday morning as well. Apple has hopes of selling many versions of this new product, which would increase THW's revenues substantially for '99. The code name Avenger software that is touched on in these articles is said to be the best technology to date from ANY company in this field. THW's new software also has Vector Graphics and Bit map which NOBODY has done with this type. We are informed that their will be numerous press releases out from the media as well as the company in the upcoming weeks and see this as a VERY exciting near and long term buy (my opinion only). These current developments are said to increase THW's share price astronomically, on immediate impact and future earnings forecasted. Publications in the states were so excited to print these developments that they were going to print with or without THW's permission. MacCentral explained that it was too huge a story not to run it immediately. This will be our ONLY pick next week as it is BLOCKBUSTER and offers enormous potential. "My" opinion is that the stock price should be drastically higher by the end of next week. Disclaimer. The invitation DISCLAIMER applies to all picks ,notes and other messages sent to members. If you have not received an invitation (you were referred to the club) kindly email me and I will send it to you immediately.

Best to all, McDo

Off Topic: Troubleshooting a Mac problem and wondered if any of you had any ideas? Or possible relevant links? When the Maccer tries to change the name of a folder the cursor moves to a different folder after a few characters are typed -- it's impossible to complete the name of a folder in the Finder. This doesn't happen in other applications. I was able to type a letter in Word without a problem. Looks like soup beat me to the answer, but a good suggestion it is (delete Finder prefs). For weird problems that happen only in one application, pref files and extension conflicts are the likely culprits. Viruses are a much less likely cause, especially on the Mac, but with the recent hoopla surrounding macro viruses and the Autostart Worm, I may have to buy some virus software myself. With my sister's wedding less than a week away, all the relatives in town and the festivities have kept me away from SI more than usual.
