1994 Kansasfest Report By Jerry Kindall II Alive Volume 2 Number 4 September/October 1994 Many of you are already familiar with the annual conference, held during the third week of July in Kansas City, known popularly as KansasFest. Last year, the company that sponsored the conference was Tom Weishaar’s Resource Central. This year, Resource Central is dissolving and making way for ICON , the International Computer Owner’s Network, a non-profit corporation founded by Weishaar and dedicated to helping users of…
David T. Craig 736 Edgewater, Wichita, Kansas 67230 (USA.) 20 April 1993 CompuServe 71533,606 INTRODUCTION This document attempts to provide a retrospective commentary about the Pascal Newsletter. This newsletter was published between January 1974 and November 1983. The newsletter’s purpose was described in the first newsletter as follows: This is the first issue of a newsletter sent to users and other interested parties about the computer programming language Pascal. Its purpose is to keep the Pascal community informed about the…
II Alive Volume 1 Number 1 March / April 1993 Keeping our ear to the ground (and a good supply of cotton swabs on hand), we print only the freshest gossip. And if there’s not enough gossip, we make some up! As always, the Rumormonger reserves the right to be dead wrong. Like those 900 astrology numbers, this column is for entertainment purposes only. If you take it seriously, you deserve whatever fate befalls you! APPLE HIRES FOUR MORE Apple…
II Alive Volume 1 Number 1 March / April 1993 Modems and telecommunications have a mystique which I can only describe as, well, mysterious. Perhaps it’s the words themselves. “Modem” certainly is a bizarre one, even for a techno-coinage, and “telecommunications,” despite being composed of easily-recognized roots, is a big one. Maybe it’s the fact that you can’t really understand what it’s all about until you’ve actually experienced it. Probably worst of all is the fact that telecommunication has a…
By Walker Archer D. Proni is the founder of Econ Technologies and the creator of the pegasus Internal SCSI hard disk drive, AE FAX, Signature GS, AutoArk, and Universe Master. II ALIVE: By the way, what does the “D.” stand for? D. PRONI: Duilio. A fine Italian name. But people have so many problems with it that I’ve just been going by “D.” for several years now. II ALIVE: How did you first become involved with the Apple II? D….
by Richard SpitzerII ALive Volume 1 Number 1March / April 1993 After writing a letter or two in AppleWorks’ Word Processor, you’ re then stuck with the problem of addressing the envelopes. It just seems inelegant to use something as archaic as a digital encoding device (also known as a pen) to do it after writing the rest of the letter on the computer. Yet the labels produced from AppleWorks’ Database aren’t really worth the effort for one or two…
by Phil Shapiro II Alive Volume 1 Number 1March / April 1993 Apple IIe computers have long been a favorite of experimental psychology researchers. It’s easy to write short Applesoft BASIC computer programs to present information in a random fashion. And you can use the IIe’s eight slots to hook up all sorts of external electronic devices. (The external devices can either be controlled by the Apple IIe. Or the lie can gather and analyze data generated by the device.)…
II ALive Volume 1 Number 1March/April 1993 Apple II software may not be plentiful on the retail shelf, but that doesn’t mean there’s no software out there. Recently, GEnie (General Electric’s information service) celebrated its 20,000th Apple II upload. America Online is at 18,000 Apple II files. There are also a number of “servers” on Internet, including Apple Computer itself, and our favorite: CCosun@caltech.edu (California Institute of Technology), which has some of the more exotic Apple II files. Your local…
Ask Mr. Tech # 3 II Alive Volume 1 Number 1 March / April 1993 QUESTION: I’m a member of a local user group. Most of our members own Apple IIGS or lie computers, but I own a Laser 128EX. I’m very happy with this computer with the exception of one minor problem. I am having problems using 5.25″ disks written by the other Apple II computers in our club. They can use the disks that I produce on my…
Ask Mr. Tech # 2 II Alive Volume 1 Number 1 March / April 1993 QUESTION: I have a functional Apple II (not II+). I would like to upgrade it to a II+ or a IIe so that it will be more compatible with today’s add-ons. Is this technically feasible? If it isn’t feasible, can you suggest an upgrade path? ANSWER: Many of us here at II Alive remember our first experiences with the Apple II fondly as our introduction…
Ask Mr. Tech # 1 II Alive Volume 1 Number 1 March / April 1993 QUESTION; I’m trying to use a genealogical program with earlier Apple models (II+, lie, and lie) using DOS 3.3. In order to adapt this program to the IIGS, the program requires that each disk be processed through an “Advanced Configuration Routine.” This routine asks for ASCII Decimal codes for the printer. I’ve listed the codes that I need for my IIGS and Image Writer II….
by Don Grout II Alive Volume 1 Number 1March / April 1993 Computer software exists for almost every educational application. There is software for science simulations, math drills, word processing, accounting simulations, history tests, geography, music, art, and foreign languages. But is there something inexpensive (or free) that an ordinary classroom teacher, with minimum computer skills, can use for one-on-one computer study or review in virtually any subject area? Absolutely-if you can enter data and have a little familiarity with…
II Alive Volume 1 Number 1 March / April 1993 Sneak Peek, Page 9: “Drift Dodgers” subhead, fourth paragraph: A page length of 2.1″ does not mean 2 inches and one line (at ‘1/6’ or ‘1/8’ depending on the lines per inch setting) as implied in this article. AppleWorks instead takes your request of 2.1″ and uses the closest page length your printer supports with the current lines per inch setting. (Actually, AppleWorks keeps track of the total length of…
WHAT ABOUT THE VIDEO? Paid If Alive subscribers will be receiving the II Alive video late in May, 1993. We apologize for the delay; however, we’re sure you’ll agree, once you see it, that it was worth the wait. We decided to add coverage of Apple Expo West, which isn’t until April 23-24, to the video. For the first time you’ll be able to get the feel of an Apple Expo even if you can’t attend-you’ll even get an up-close…
GENERAL: II Alive welcomes article submissions from anyone, whether you’re a professional writer or just an ordinary Apple II lover with some tips to share. We don’t reject submissions purely on the basis of typos or grammar – if an article’s content is unique, enthusiastic, creative, or otherwise grabs us by the lapels and screams “Publish Me,” we’re willing to overlook a few mistakes. On the other hand, the fewer mistakes a submission contains, the less work we have to…
