<text>you can’t teach anyone an application fully. Most everyone who took them got something out of every class. Some people contacted the trainers after to get additional training. Something which was greatly appreciated by the trainers since their time was donated to AMUG.It seems that if you want to get ahead some type of training is needed. There are many forms some of which are personal training, seminars, video tapes or books. All of these provide another form of support for the user. The bottom line is that good training is a valuable asset to take part of or provide for your people.</text>
<text>would interrupt meetings with strange noises coming from their Macs. Some people would be so excited about keyboard shortcuts that they would whiz across the keyboard only to hear “how’d you do that, do it again. slower, what keys are you holding down.....”Now new software hits the shelves every day. This software performs a wide variety of functions some of which itself is very elaborate. We also expect a lot more from software now. Word processors have to practically be layout tools, databases have to be able to look up and sort and display, DTP applications have to have color separations and Lino export capabilities, graphic packages have to be able to twirl, invert and so on. The fact is that some of these features are in themselves a complicated idea that you have to understand.</text>

Individual training can go from $25 per hour to $125 per hour. Classes can range from $5 to $125 a person. Classes can be hands on or just a sit and watch. AMUG has over the past year and a half offered training in the form of seminars. Four classes were taught at the same time and three sessions were conducted. This gave everyone a chance to attend three different two hour classes. Professional trainers were sought so the classes were up to par. But in </text>

If I don’t know I call someone. The one advantage that I have along with a few others is that we have been at it since the beginning of the Mac. The days when there were no INITs, when there were on CDEVs that didn’t already come with the Mac and when your System Folder had 10 items in it. How many items are in your System folder today?The way most of us learned the Mac was to ask each other questions.

Pretty nifty!Straight lines can be drawn automatically as arrows, with it possible to vary the shape and sharpness of the points. The radii of the corners of a rounded rectangle are also variable. And the program generates a large number of polygons, from the usual triangles and rectangles to five pointed stars and some rather indescribable shapes. It’s also possible to vary the width and pattern of the frame of the particular shape when using any of these tools.There are also a number of tools useful for close-up work. You can enlarge the screen all the way to 8x, or miniaturize to 1/3. There is also a kind of square magnifying glass which enlarges just a small portion </text>

And what is also nice, you can print an Amazing Paint document over several pages which can then be joined together.Amazing Paint has many clever features in a rather small-sized program—it will run in less than 512K. I understand its list price is $79, but I haven’t noticed it in the mail order catalogues. It’s difficult for me to say whether this represents a good deal or not. Amazing Paint is certainly easy to use, and rather fun to play with. It is also possible to create rather nice pictures, with the limitations in resolution that I mentioned. It is written to run quickly. But I’m not sure how much I can recommend this program—you can tell my diffidence by my comments. I believe I am reviewing this </text>

Those pictures reminded me that even in a black and white medium of limited resolution, a large amount of information can be conveyed, and a wide range of artistic expression is possible. And so I began to lose myself in the tools.I had noticed before that Amazing Paint had come with a tear-off tool palette. By clicking the upper-left-hand-corner “window” box, the painting area filled my 13” screen and I began to scribble. A few strokes and something resembling a horizon and a tree appeared. I laughed. Then I blotted it out in a stroke with a rectangle. Oops. I didn’t feel like getting my original, free, artistically virtuosic drawing back, so I left the rectangle where it was and started to spray graffiti. Of course, I found I could spray patterned paint, just like in MacPaint—but the speed of spraying was variable, from a few flecks</text>

This feature is really nice, as “the gun” sprays flecks very smoothly (and seemingly randomly) and can be used to create subtle or brash shading effects. The shape of of the spraying or painting patterns can be changed from a secondary menu on the tool palette.And then I discovered that the text feature allowed you to print text in patterns—black on white, white on black, checks on gingham. And then I happened on the Mouse Tracking feature, which gives one’s position in X and Y coordinates, and when you are drawing a line, gives the angle and length of the line.

<text>When I received the box from Michael Bean, I was a little disappointed. “No color?” I asked. “I don’t think so,” he said. So I sat through the rest of the AMUG meeting, and decided to look at things a little more closely when I returned home.No, there wasn’t color, but there did seem to be some interesting features: The ability to rotate sections of a drawing to any angle, and fonts scalable to nearly any size. But the limitations to mere black and white, and the apparent one-screen-pixel to one-print- dot ratio disappointed me. There was apparently no draw layer either. I had wanted to use my Hewlett-Packard DeskWriter to create pictures more detailed than my old Imagewriter could, but I was stymied.Amazing Paint bills itself as a program that makes the Mac fun again, but all I could see were its deficits.

C E Software includes with Amazing Paint a disk with a CDEV and an INIT, and some clip art. The first was a device for choosing an alternate start-up font for a word processor or the like, and the other for taking variably sized snapshots of the screen (but only if the screen were set to black and white).

Is this enough motivation for you to at least try and see if the problem is simple enough to fix it yourself? It was for me! Larry Pina says that, “Unlike the proprietary ROM chips on the logic board, there’s nothing special about resistors, filter caps, and rectifiers on the power-supply board.” Fortunately, my problem was on the power-supply board that generates most of the heat in the Mac and has the largest frequency of component failures.This book is well illustrated, and the author puts safety first in all of his directions, which are clear and written so that non-technical people can understand them. After all, as the back cover sums it up, Pina reveals that the greatest “secret” of all is that Macintosh users can repair and upgrade their Macs, using parts </text>

<text>suspicious without the magnifying glass! Reflowing the solder corrected the intermittent problem, but since I had gone this far into my Mac, I decided to do a little preventive maintenance by upgrading known critical components as recommended in the book. I obtained most of my parts from Total Systems, and the tools from Radio Shack (including some desoldering braid, a vacuum desoldering tool, and a small grounded (3-wire plug) 15-watt soldering iron). Radio Shack also sells a heat sink compound and other supplies that I didn’t need then. After installing most of the upgraded, higher-rated components in the Parts List for Maximum Analog Board Upgrade (Table 7-2 on p. 129) and replacing the 20-AWG wire cable with a heavier 18-AWG cable, I readjusted my 5-volt supply and went through a series of tests that was run with the diagnostic software disk supplied with the book. The disk generates test patterns due to the components I replaced.</text>

Now I expect my Mac to be able to make it through the Arizona summer without a failure — at least due to the components I replaced.“Macintosh Repair & Upgrade Secrets” that covers only the Lisa and the small-screen Macintoshes up through the SE may not be for everyone, but the author says that even if you’ve never held a soldering gun before, you could save yourself hundreds of dollars. I described my last problem to a local Apple dealer who said it would be $75 per hour to put it on the bench, and if the trouble was found to be in the power supply board, they would have to replace the whole board at </text>

<text>“Macintosh Repair & Upgrade Secrets” and be ready for battle the next time my Mac got sick! I did a lot of reading to become familiar with its contents before actually needing to use it. I didn’t have long to wait ... pretty soon my Mac started showing strange new symptoms whereby a portion of the screen raster (the fine horizontal line pattern that the electron beam spot makes as it sweeps across the screen in line-by-line vertical steps) would collapse into thick bright wiggly lines for a split second, usually near the central and bottom portion of the screen. These incidents occurred more frequently the longer the set was on. I found that turning it off to cool for even 10 minutes helped a lot, as did placing a fan to blow across the top of my Mac (using the Bernoulli effect). Week by week as the incidents became more frequent, the dark screen and startup “beep” cycle and even “flupping” noises (the protective crowbar circuit in </text>

<text>operation) often occurred immediately after the collapse of the raster. Also I noticed a correlation between the screen flashes and the insertion of a diskette. This suggested that the intermittent problem was being induced by mechanical vibration as well as heat, and was probably due to a poor connection somewhere.After searching through “Macintosh Repair & Upgrade Secrets” for guidance, and checking internal cable plug and socket contacts to no avail, I finally got to the root of the problem by visually detecting a couple of cracked solder joints on the analog (power supply) board where one of the cable sockets was mounted. I found these only after a very close inspection with an 8X magnifying glass. They did not even look </text>

<text>A few months later my Mac gradually developed its first problem with the screen suddenly going dark and restarting with a “beep” for no obvious reason. Needless to say, I soon learned (the hard way) to Save my work regularly, but the problem worsened to the point where I could scarcely run a minute after bootup without experiencing a “dark screen/restart” cycle. At this point I called the local repairman (who had installed my internal fan) and found that I might have to wait a couple of weeks because of his backlog. I didn’t want to wait so I called Total Systems, a mail-order parts supplier, about my problem and they suggested the 5-volt power supply might only need a simple adjustment to compensate for the aging of components. Being emboldened from my past success in installing my own RAM upgrade, I followed their verbal instructions. I confirmed the voltage was indeed low (by about 0.25 v.) and easily </text>

I had a good solid 5 volts and a stable, working Mac again! This eliminated my immediate problem and gave me almost another year of trouble-free operation, thanks to Total Systems’ policy of trying to help the Mac owner and not withhold repair shop “trade secrets.” They are to be commended for this, and even though they are not listed in Appendix B (Dealer/ Manufacturer Addresses) of Mr. Pina’s book, I have found them to be extremely helpful, courteous, and a good source for components for my Mac Plus.At this point, I decided to invest in a copy of </text>

<text>An alternate title for this article might have been: “How I Finally Got Up Enough Nerve to Open My Mac.” Actually, it is a book recommendation and an account of how I have progressed from being afraid to install an internal fan in my Mac Plus (even after Apple’s generous 90-day warranty had expired) to where I have boldly ventured into the unknown and fixed a nasty intermittent (one of the most time-consuming and exasperating problems faced by electronic repairmen). I even upgraded a number of critical electrical components along the way with the help of a book entitled: “Macintosh Repair & Upgrade Secrets” by Larry Pina. This soft bound 351-page volume published by Howard W. Sams & Company (Hayden Books), A Division of Macmillan Computer Publishing, 11711 North College, Carmel, Indiana 46032.

(I had neither the tools nor the nerve to open my Mac.) Sometime later I mustered the courage to take the plunge and buy a special 8” Torx® screwdriver with a T15 hexagonal star bit, a “case cracker,” and grounding wrist strap to try to install some 1 Meg RAM modules. Following the written instructions I received with my memory modules, I successfully installed them, saving money and gaining a great deal of self-confidence in the process.</text>

After a point, no amount of fudging is going to save you entirely. Try to figure out the culprit INIT that is causing problems, and trash it. Or better yet, make sure you have the latest version of every INIT you use. Realize that INIT crashes/conflicts DO NOT stem from lack of System Heap memory, but from improperly written software. Giving the System Heap extra memory may circumvent some problems, but it is not the source of them.When you choose “About the Finder” from the Apple Menu, there should be a little bit of white space (free memory) in the “System” memory bar. 5-10% or so should be fine.

<text>PROBLEM #4This is a tricky one that many programmers don’t understand fully. Earlier I described the ‘sysz’ method for telling INIT31 how much memory an INIT needs to loads. And it works as advertised, but there is a rub.The System Heap is shared memory, it is one big basket into which many hens put their eggs. Lets say we have an INIT called “Longcut” that has a ‘sysz’ specifying that it needs 50K of memory. INIT31 will free up 50K of memory, then load the hypothetical “Longcut” INIT, and all should be well.However let’s say “Longcut” doesn’t use all 50K of the memory it asks for at start up time. Let’s say it uses 10K of memory at start up time to install itself, reserving the rest for later on when it actually works its magic. This is a very common situation actually. Well logic would tell you that </text>

If an INIT asks for more memory than it actually uses at start up time, whatever it doesn’t use isn’t reserved for it automatically; instead it is thrown “back in the pot”, and can be used up by anyone. So later on when “Longcut” thinks it has room to spare, it actually might not and then... *** crash ***Of course there are ways to program around this situation properly, but the situation described above isn’t a well known fact.

This is a nice thing! However we all know the experience of coming into your room after someone else cleaned it: you can never find anything! Many INITs have this problem as well, and it is absolutely THEIR fault, not Martha’s. She can tell you where anything is, but some INITs don’t bother to ask, they simply *assume* they know where their little chunk of memory is. *** crash ***There is one other twist to this situation as well.

Realize though that you are sacrificing your precious memory to correct a defect in the software you paid good money for.

Therefore if you add lots of INITs, you may end up with little memory left over to run your applications.For technoweenies, the mechanism that loads INITs at start up time and expands the System Heap as needed is called INIT31. There is a well known mechanism that any INIT writer worth his salt takes advantage of: ‘sysz’, or System Zone Expansion. This is a little parcel that all INIT writers should include in their products (it takes all of two minutes to put it in), it tells the INIT31 mechanism how much memory the INIT needs to load. INIT31 grows the System Heap so that there is at least this much memory free, and then loads and runs the INIT. Therefore any well-written INIT will tell INIT31 how much memory it needs, get it, and be happy. You’ll never have to worry about it.</text>

<text>If it were a perfect world, our story would end here. But as I’m sure you suspect, there are a few twists here. INITs have the power to affect the operation of you entire computer, and unfortunately they can also crash the whole thing too. There are a few snags that INITs can run into regarding the System Heap, and I will go into them one by one so that you can understand what is going wrong and why.One thing we should get straight now: if your machine is crashing because of an INIT, there is a programmer out there somewhere who is at fault. Count on it. There are well established rules for writing INITs, the real problem is not all programmers really understand what is going on, information on how to write INITs properly </text>

<text>Each application is said to have its own memory HEAP. You can decide how big this HEAP is (how much memory the application will use, or how much of your desk space you’re giving). You can do this for any program by choosing “Get Info” on it in the Finder and entering how much memory you want it to use. That assumes you are running under System 7 or MultiFinder. Under older systems (sometimes called uni-Finder) the programs that you run use all of your Macintosh’s memory, so you can only run one program at a time.Well actually I just lied. Sorry about that, I know I hardly know you but I lied to you already. There is another HEAP that is always around (even if you aren’t running any programs) called the System Heap. This is important.

It is a murky, convoluted place that only Apple knows every nook and cranny of, but a very important one nevertheless.So if you think of your computer’s memory (or RAM for Random Access Memory) again, a portion of it is always occupied by the System Heap, an area of memory designated for the low level system software from Apple and other nasties. The rest of your computer’s memory is rationed off in chunks to the applications that you run on a first come, first serve basis. Normally, we developers stay in our own little application HEAPs, insulated from the the complexities of system-level software.</text>

This is similar to what a computer does also: all of your programs and documents are stored on your hard disk, and when you want to work on them they are read in from disk and placed in memory.Life being what it is, you can’t have everything. You only have a limited amount of memory that must be rationed out to the programs that you run. In fact each program you run grabs a fixed chunk of memory when it loads, and it doesn’t let go of the memory until you quit the program. This is the application’s world to do with as it pleases. This is also known in technoweenie terms as a HEAP.</text>

The symptom was that the monitor would suddenly go black, with a little “pop” sound. I was always able to get it to come back on by turning the monitor off, then back on bit later. However, the problem didn’t seem to be related to heat, since sometimes (not often) the monitor would go off immediately at startup. The problem was a faulty high voltage capacitor (or at least that’s the part I was told they replaced). Judging by comments on the boards such a problem is fairly common for the Apple 13 inch RGB. In fact I had to wait a week to have mine repaired since my dealer said they had made 4 such </text>

A couple weeks after my repair I read of someone having a similar problem. Turned out to be a loose cable connector. Her dealer tightened this up that took care of it. That made me wonder a bit, since I then remembered that when I was having the problem it seemed removing and reconnecting the cable seemed to help get the monitor started. For a while I wondered if I was not out $140.00 when a connector tightening would have resolved the problem. I have decided that’s not the case since I have not had the problem for 5 months or so now after the repair. And also </text>

The problems may show up only when you set the desktop pattern to black.It was reported that if you turn your screen black and there are more than 5 pixels out, you can have it replaced.

If you want more freedom and few if any restrictions with your database, 4th Dimension would be the better package for you.Marc and Martin briefly covered the modules that are used with 4th Dimension: 4D Calc, the spreadsheet module; 4D Write, the word processor module; and 4D Draw, the object-oriented drawing module. Although Marc and Martin did not give us any AMUG buys, they did hand out working demos of both products. For those of you who were unable to attend the meeting but would like a free demo version of either one or both programs, call: 408-253-DEMO.4th Dimension retails for $795 but according to Marc, you can find it for $500. </text>

It also finds and shows time zones, area codes, and gives distances between cities. Everyone was having a wonderful time shouting out zip codes and area codes and having Teri and MacUSA find the cities or states. She was a great sport. Teri gave AMUG members a special offer on both MacGlobe and MacUSA. Each product sells for $79.95; AMUG’s special offer is $49.95 (with no time limit).

Many times, a presenter knows the program so well, that he rushes through the steps and leaves the audience in a confused daze. Because Martin was as new to the products as we were, he went more slowly and gave us time to keep up and follow along. The presentation was very effective.FileForce is a friendly database.

<text>AMUG Training:AMUG is happy to announce an arrangement with Phoenix College to use their Microcomputer Lab for our classes. This is exciting as we will have 29 Macintosh LC computers to use, so we can do more hands-on type of training with a minimum of setup time. As a result, all prior announcements of classes in this section are cancelled and are being rescheduled.Schedules are not quite entirely firm at this time, but we are tentatively announcing the Canvas 3.0 hands-on session for February 1, 1992 at the Phoenix College, from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM. The lab is in the basement of the Library Building (building L) which is on the South side of the Campus. Park in the North parking area, on 15th Avenue just North of Thomas Road. NOTE: You must call the AMUG Information, 277-5142, to verify the date, place, and time prior to February 1, 1992We will also be rescheduling our introductory classes. These classes will be held in the evenings from 6-8 PM. There will be three 2-hour sessions starting in mid-February. The classes will use MacWrite 5.0 and MacPaint 2.0 as example applications. These classes will be repeated about 10 weeks later.We will also be having three 2-hour sessions on MicroSoft Word starting near the end of February or Early March.By the time you read this, the schedules should be firm. Since we will also have some Phoenix College faculty and staff in the classes, the number of attendees will be limited. Accordingly you will need to make reservations by calling Dorman Bullard, 962-9619 prior to 1 February 1992</text>
