What is TidBITS? TidBITS is an answer to the information glut in the computer industry. TidBITS summarizes and references the most interesting events of the week. An added feature is a list of all reviewed products in each of the major magazines. In addition, TidBITS is an open information system that you can use to add items of interest for yourself or delete items in which you will never be interested. If you wish to use the TidBITS software for another topic and to distribute it to others, please contact use at the address above first. How do I use TidBITS? It is simple. Just download the StuffIt archive each week and unstuff. Then double-click on the HyperCard stack. The first card contains information and instructions—all following cards contain the articles. A complete subject index is available from all article cards, or you may page through the articles one at a time with the hand buttons. Should I keep each week’s stack? No, because when you are done reading the news from that stack, you can merge the stack with previous weeks’ stacks (or create a new TidBITS Archive, if it is your first one). By merging the stacks, you gradually build up a concise and easily searched archive of important events and product reviews. Unlike the annual indexes published by some of the magazines, the TidBITS Archive is always up to date and always available. Whenever you want to find information, the TidBITS Archive makes it easy and provides references the original sources of information, be it individuals or companies. Phone numbers and electronic mail addresses are included whenever possible. What are the requirements for TidBITS? TidBITS requires a Mac+ and HyperCard 2.0 or later (well at the moment it only needs 1.2.2 or later, but it will soon require 2.0). A hard disk is highly recommended, but not necessary since each week’s issue of TidBITS will never be more than 40K. Be aware that the TidBITS Archive file will grow to be quite large, which is why we recommend a hard disk. Is there any cost to TidBITS? No, other than the time to download and the space on your disk. At some point in the future, a mail subscription service may be made available to those who cannot access an online source of TidBITS. Where can I get TidBITS? TidBITS is available on America Online, GEnie, CompuServe, the Memory Alpha BBS at 607-257-5822, and the Internet as well. On the Internet, TidBITS is available for anonymous FTP from sumex-aim.stanford.edu and rascal.ics.utexas.edu and via mail at LISTSERV@RICEVM1 and MACSERVE@PUCC. Send mail if you wish to find other sites—we may know of more by the time you read this. The TidBITS stack is copyright © 1990 Adam C. Engst and Tonya Byard.
