I just returned from Apple Summer Camp, a week of intensive technical classes about Apple's current and future products. The primary audience for this event is Apple's field support and technical personnel, so I had the opportunity to speak with many of them about the issues that you tell them are important. I brought back pages of notes with article suggestions based on their input. For example, page 9 includes an overview of OpenDoc technology and a list of OpenDoc terminology.

Article Updates and Comments

• Update on Printer Sharing Article

  We included an article in Volume I, Issue 17 (12 December 1994) about sharing a printer between QuickDraw GX and non-QuickDraw GX users. This issue includes updated information about this process on page 16, in an article titled Printer Sharing Between GX and Non-GX Users.

• Update on CD-ROM Article

  Volume II, Issue 6 (10 July 1995) included an article titled CD-ROM "This disk is unreadable" Message. This article provided the following list of files that should be in the Extensions Folder of the System folder. The note ("if you plan to use Photo CDs") should have been next to the Apple Photo Access bullet, not the Audio CD Access bullet. We apologize for any confusion this misplacement caused:

  • Apple CD-ROM
  • Apple Photo Access
  • Foreign File Access
  • High Sierra File Access
  • ISO 9660 File Access
  • Audio CD Access (if you plan to use Photo CDs)
• A Comment About the ACSE Program Article on Page 4

  Page 4 includes an article about Apple's Certified Server Engineer (ACSE) Program. This is a bit different from the articles we usually include in the "Information Alley". However, the review committee believed that our readers would find the information useful and interesting. We hope you agree.
