Highlights Of This Issue
------------------------
  I release the results of my voluntary-donations experiment, and
  talk about my future plans and new business manager, we mention a
  few Web sites worth visiting, including one of the best Mac sites
  (located in Finland), we get more news about the upcoming Jaz
  drive, I mention a useful (but somewhat annoying) utility for
  creators of Web graphics, I begin a series of articles talking
  about my experiences with online finances, a very nice utility
  for printing forms is located, we learn about clippings in System
  7.5, readers request info about indexing software and a good
  color banner-making program, I mention the many Mac-related
  USENET newsgroups as a resource for tracking down information, we
  discuss concerns for consultants, and (sort of) review an
  excellent book for consultants.

The Results Of The Experiment, And The Next Steps Beyond
--------------------------------------------------------
  By Tony Lindsey <xxltony@cts.com>

  I apologize for the sparse output of Mac*Chat issues lately.
  Many people missed-out on issue #91 for some reason.  It's in the
  back-issues:

  </info-mac/per/chat/mac-chat-091-etx.txt>

  Admittedly, I've also been dragging my deadlines further and
  further.  I've been going through a period of personal
  introspection.  I've been meditating, and pondering where I want
  to go with Mac*Chat.

  I recently began a system of soliciting donations to help keep
  Mac*Chat ad-free.  In the first week, there were eleven donations
  of 10 dollars each, eight in the next week, and two after that so
  far.  I'm deeply grateful to everyone who was so kind and
  generous, and I plan to pass every dime to Shrimmy, the guy who
  voluntarily handles the Mac*Chat mailing-list drudgery for me.

  I can't see myself working for free any more.  So, I had some
  thinking to do, and decisions to make.  I needed to figure out
  how to financially justify the newsletter and all the time and
  effort going into it.  I dearly love creating these electronic
  publications, and want very much to go on.  I suspect I'm just a
  bit ahead of my time.  The day has not yet arrived where the
  Internet will allow paid subscriptions that mean anything.

  So, the decision has to be between shifting the newsletter to a
  completely professional basis, and discontinuing it.  I was
  chatting with a neighbor, who told me that a similar crisis-point
  had been reached a while back by an idealistic printed magazine
  called the Utne Reader.

  <info@utnereader.com>
  <http://www.utne.com/>

  I had never heard of it, and she gave me a back-issue. "Utne"
  means "Far Out" in Norwegian, according to the masthead, and I
  found it to be a fine, interesting magazine with a lot in common
  with Mac*Chat.  It's a selection of short essays about the human
  condition in the new age, for lack of a better way to describe
  it.  My neighbor told me the Utne Reader had tried to go
  completely ad-free, but had  failed.  Looking at its current,
  glowingly vibrant Web version, I would say they passed that
  hurdle with total success, despite having ads in both the Web and
  printed versions.

  So, I would like anyone reading this to lend a hand by
  recommending good, solid, reputable businesses to be part of
  Mac*Chat's upcoming all-ads companion newsletter, called
  Chat*Ads.  (Thanks to William Lorenzo Moss IV for the name).

  I will be encouraging those businesses to widen their vision to
  reach ALL of Mac*Chat's target audience, all over the planet.
  I'm new to this, so please act as an ice-breaker to introduce me
  to the people involved in the businesses you trust.  Mac*Chat is
  all about networking.  I like to use it to pass-along the
  best-possible nuggets of useful information.  Using Chat*Ads, I
  can include top-quality businesses in the mix.

  I would also like suggestions for the most cost-effective ways to
  handle a new LISTSERV mailing list comprised of nothing but
  advertisements.  Back in early September, we discussed the idea
  of an all-ads newsletter in Mac*Chat issue #88, and the folks
  running TidBITs announced their own version last week:

  <ftp://ftp.tidbits.com/pub/tidbits/issues/1995/TidBITS#297_02-Oct-95.etx>

  Chat*Ads will be similar in many ways, but I intend to keep it
  constantly adapting to circumstances as they arise.

  Any other suggestions?  Remember, I have a responsibility to tens
  of thousands of loyal readers, so please don't suggest anything
  that would drive them away.  I haven't changed my nature and
  convictions, I'm just adapting toward something more like a
  win-win situation for my readers and me.

  In any case, I'm back to a regular deadline, so expect an issue
  every single week.  You can depend on it!

Mac*Chat's New Business Manager
-------------------------------
  By Tony Lindsey <xxltony@cts.com>

  I've asked my husband Dennis to be my business manager and to
  take an active role in helping me plan Mac*Chat's future.  I'm
  the idealistic dreamer of the family, and he's the one who makes
  sure the mortgage gets paid on time.  If you haven't met him yet,
  check out my personal Web page:

  <http://www.cts.com/browse/xxltony/tony-lindsey.html>

  He's an excellent choice in many ways.  He's certainly a lot more
  practical and business-savvy than I am, and he has the technical
  expertise to go with it.  His other job is at the Union-Tribune
  in San Diego, helping them get their newspaper onto the World
  Wide Web in a month or so.  We've been a great team for over five
  years, and I am eagerly looking forward to the next fifty or so!

Jaz Drive Info
--------------
  By Benjamin Cox <thoth+@CMU.EDU>

  >Also, has anybody gotten the Jaz drive yet?  [It's the
  1-gigabyte cartridge drive that is causing a lot of my peers to
  become excited - see issue #87]

  I haven't received it yet, but I ordered a Jaz from Mediastore
  [800-555-5551/714-997-5551 <info@mediastore.com>]

  <http://www.mediastore.com>

  I ordered on or around August 25 and was told to call back on
  Sept. 25; they should be shipping around the first week of
  October.  They said they were second in line from Iomega and they
  expected to get a LOT of these drives.  I called back around
  Sept. 21 and was told that the expected ship date had been pushed
  back to the end of October.  Do other dealers have these drives
  yet?  Mediastore's price is $599 (plus around $7-8 shipping) for
  the drive, which comes with one cartridge.  Additional cartridges
  are $103.

PhotoGIF
--------
  By Tony Lindsey <xxltony@cts.com>

  Sometimes, it's hard for me to remember where I get things.  I
  get a LOT of files attached to e-mail messages, and I sometimes
  forget where they come from later on, usually when I'm staring
  with dismay at a hard drive containing 1.4 megs of free space.

  One of these Mystery Files turned out to be quite nice for
  somebody who works on Web-page graphics on a regular basis, as I
  do.  PhotoGIF is a Photoshop plug-in that makes it easy for me to
  save GIF files as interlaced images with a transparent color,
  allowing non-rectangular images to "float" on the Web page.  I
  discussed this same concept back in Mac*Chat issue #67.  I
  recommended a couple of separate programs (in addition to
  Photoshop) that did the same thing.  This plug-in makes it
  one-step easy.

  <boxtop@aris.com>
  <http://www.aris.com/boxtop/PhotoGIF>
 <ftp://aris.com/boxtop>

  Please be aware it has some really nasty reminder dialog-boxes
  that get in your face at every turn, begging for moolah.  I can't
  say I blame them, so I didn't take too much offense.  Instead, I
  decided to use my irritation to force me into joining the world
  of online commerce....

First Virtual - I'm Now An Online Consumer, Part One
----------------------------------------------------
  By Tony Lindsey <xxltony@cts.com>

  I loaded the PhotoGIF plug-in mentioned above, and found the
  "Please Pay" dialog-boxes to be very annoying.  They will go away
  if I pay the software authors.  As soon as I saw that they use
  the same type of Register program as Mac*Chat, I decided to pay
  them with no paper or grimy cash involved.  What the heck.

  As an adult in the computer age, I've found that I don't learn
  something really new unless there is some form of pressure to
  drive me along.  Since I understand this, I now choose to use any
  excuse I can find for new experiences, such as volunteering to
  put out a club newsletter (forcing me to learn PageMaker 1.0 way
  back when) or learning directly about online finances:

  First, I stopped by the First Virtual Web site

  <http://www.fv.com>

  though you can get the same info through e-mail: <info@fv.com> if
  you don't have access to a Web Browser.

  Contrary to what several of my readers assumed, there is FULL
  support for folks who aren't inside the USA.  There really is no
  difference between the procedures, except for a different phone
  number to call and minor stuff like that.

  I clicked my way through the instructions, and entered data into
  the on-screen form, using my Web browser.  At no time was I asked
  for any financial information while online.  There was plenty of
  help available, and I had no errors or problems.

  I was also given the option of choosing my "gift" for signing-up,
  so I chose a three month trial subscription to "WEBster, your
  definitive guide to the World Wide Web."  After getting a sample
  table of contents, it sure looks like a lot of online noise to
  me.  Thanks, but I already have quite enough to read!  I already
  get NetGuide magazine (my other option), but I gladly recommend
  it to anybody who is offered a free three-month subscription as
  their gift.

  After sending off my application, I was told to expect some
  e-mail containing further instructions.  When I got it, I was
  given a 12-digit code and a phone-number to call.  With my VISA
  card handy, I called and went through the touch-tone steps with
  no problem, and I was told that the process cost me two bucks and
  maybe ten minutes out of my life.

  I'm still waiting for my final confirmation and First Virtual
  code number.  I haven't waited long, I'm just on deadline.  I'll
  continue this log in the next issue.

LaserMerge Info
---------------
  By Fred Monsour <fmonsour@america.com>

  Andrew Duncan asked:

  >I am appealing to Mac*Chat for some help in locating an update
  to  LaserMerge, a utility from MindGate that merges electronic
  letterheads with paper when printing. A client of mine has
  version 1.01 and this appears to be incompatible with Apple's
  LaserWriter driver 8.x, and no resellers in Australia know
  anything about it and I haven't had any help from the Mac.apps
  Usenet group.

  I was wondering if any Mac*Chat readers are using a later version
  of LaserMerge and whether it is compatible or not with Apple's
  MindGate would be greatly appreciated.<

  MindGate can be reached at (800) 648-6840. They are about to
  release LaserMerge 2.0, which will work with any printer driver
  (QuickDraw, PostScript or fax modem). This sounds like a _super_
  printing enhancer, especially for businesses that do a lot of
  printing on a variety of forms, letterheads, etc. The list price
  is $95, but they have a $40 competitive upgrade from any other
  print utility (such as Dynopage). An extensive brochure is
  available by faxback (615) 937-4636, phone or email
  <MGTsales@mindgate.com>. No, I don't work for them, but if their
  product is as good as it sounds, I would love to see it be a
  success. I've placed my order, and if there is interest here I'll
  write a brief review after I've used it. It's reportedly shipping
  in October.

Info About Clippings, And A Request For A Utility
-------------------------------------------------
  From: Bob Patin <bskate@telalink.net>
  <http://www.nashville.net/~bskate> (come visit for some free Mac
  software)

  I have a simple idea for an extension that I think a lot of
  people would use. I use the Clipping extension all the time,
  especially when reading MacChat (I extract interesting
  paragraphs, URLs, etc.); my only complaint is that the clipping
  documents don't have a name that means anything.

  I have two solutions which a smart programmer could implement in
  a control panel or extension: 1) when a clipping is created, a
  dialog pops up asking for its name; or 2) when a clipping is
  created, it takes the name of the first 10 or 15 (configurable)
  characters of the clipping itself.

  I would think it could be really tiny and oh-so-usable... and I'd
  be glad to help test it!

  About the Clipping Extension:

  If you're running System 7.5, it's installed in your Extensions
  folder (it's part of Apple's system software). I actually didn't
  pay any attention to it for the longest time, until reading a
  blurb about it in MacUser or MacWorld.

  In some applications (notably Stickies, SimpleText, or Claris
  Emailer, which I love), you can select text and drag it to your
  desktop. It becomes a tiny file containing that "clipping". You
  can then drag that clipping into a document that supports
  clippings. I copy email addresses from Emailer mail (like MacChat
  for example), save them as clippings, and then when I want to
  send mail back (for example to subscribe to a list), I drag the
  clipping to the address field in Emailer and it pops right in!
  Try it, you'll quickly be hooked.

Interesting Questions
---------------------
  By Bob Patin <bskate@telalink.net>

  I want to subscribe to the Word-a-Day listserv. Can you tell me how
  to find its address for subscribing, or post a query in an upcoming
  MacChat? I'd really appreciate it.

  By Isaiah W. Cox <Isaiah@borealis.com>
  <http://www.teleport.com/~isaiah>

  I am working on my PhD Thesis, and I find that I have need for
  some *very* powerful indexing tools. Not only do I need to index
  my indices, and index footnotes (Something that Word will not
  do), I also need to be able to easily create 5-8 different
  indices in the same document. So, for example, I need to be able
  to give different kinds of tags to the same data set, and create
  different indices, one for names, one for kind of court case, etc.

  If anyone is curious, this is for a translation/edit of a
  medieval legal record. The Indices for this kind of work tend to
  run 100 pages, for an original text of 400 pages.

  Does the software exist for this? Can someone point me in the
  right direction?

  Mexico <mds@Rt66.com>

  Do you have any idea where you can find a color banner maker for
  a tractor feed printer. Printshop works but still leaves space
  between pages. I found a shareware program at Aim but it didn't
  support colors.

My Advice For Folks Seeking Answers To Bizarre Mac Questions
------------------------------------------------------------
  By Tony Lindsey <xxltony@cts.com>

  Sometimes we all have Mac-related questions, and it can be
  difficult to get a direct answer.  Personally, I've found good
  results from posting questions on the following newsgroups:

  comp.sys.mac
 comp.sys.mac.advocacy
 comp.sys.mac.announce
 comp.sys.mac.apps
 comp.sys.mac.comm
 comp.sys.mac.databases
 comp.sys.mac.digest
 comp.sys.mac.games
 comp.sys.mac.games.action
 comp.sys.mac.games.adventure
 comp.sys.mac.games.announce
 comp.sys.mac.games.flight-sim
 comp.sys.mac.games.marketplace
 comp.sys.mac.games.misc
 comp.sys.mac.games.strategic
 comp.sys.mac.graphics
 comp.sys.mac.hardware.misc
 comp.sys.mac.hardware.storage
 comp.sys.mac.hardware.video
 comp.sys.mac.hypercard
 comp.sys.mac.misc
 comp.sys.mac.oop.macapp3

 comp.sys.mac.programmer.misc
 comp.sys.mac.programmer.tools
 comp.sys.mac.programmers.misc
 comp.sys.mac.scitech
 comp.sys.mac.system
 comp.sys.mac.wanted

  As a courtesy, I also like to leave answers for the questions
  that other people ask.  That way, I'm not just taking from
  others, but contributing to the flow of good Internet karma.

  Would someone please review some of the above newsgroups for me?
  I have my personal favorites, but I'd like to hear about YOURS.

Consulting Questions
--------------------
  By Jeff Brett <jbrett@comox.island.net>

  I currently work at North Island College in Courtenay, British
  Columbia, Canada in the Fine Arts department. I am responsible
  for the care and maintenance of a Macintosh lab used by Art and
  Design students. I also teach community education courses on our
  Macs. It is an exciting task. I know of no other group that can
  push a Mac like our students. They just assume that it can do
  everything. Luckily the Mac can meet their expectations.

  My knowledge is becoming known in the surrounding community of
  Mac users. I have recently begun consulting outside my regular
  work. This area does not have a Macintosh dealer and there is an
  obvious need for some assistance. However, I am in need of some
  advice on software which can assist me in troubleshooting
  hardware and software ailments.

  Based on suggestions from MacChat I obtained Tech Tool. I have
  used it for a number of months with excellent results both in the
  lab I maintain and with clients' Macs. I also use Norton
  Utilities on a regular basis; Disk Doctor for diagnosing and
  Speed Disk for optimizing/defragmenting.

  Have you had any experience with other software that can help
  with diagnosing software and hardware problems? Tech Tool also
  includes information on two items; MacEKG(great name) for
  diagnosing a Mac's health and Drive Tech for cleaning floppy
  drives. Would you recommend these products? Any assistance would
  be greatly appreciated.

  [I use MacEKG periodically, and like it okay - I haven't had any
  world-shaking results from it, but then I used to be a
  repair-tech for the Navy before I got into computers.  I usually
  diagnose things pretty well on my own.  I have no experience with
  Drive Tech.  How do other people feel about these products?]

  -------

  By Joseph Talavera <jtalaver@calumet.yorku.ca>
  <http://www-home.calumet.yorku.ca/jtalaver/www/home.htm>

  I'm writing this to solicit some advice.  Due, in large part, to
  the encouragement gleaned from MacChat, I'm ready to jump into
  the world of entrepreneurship and offer my skills as a
  consultant.  However, a big question that needs to be answered
  relates to liability:

  What means and/or mechanisms do you (or your readers) have in
  protecting yourself in situations of liability?  For example, you
  install something on a client's machine, which crashes a week
  later, for some totally unrelated reason.  In situations like
  this, people are quick to point fingers, and I'm concerned about
  exposing myself to frivolous accusations.

  Some suggestions I've had are:  incorporation, providing some
  protection but doubling startup costs;  and liability insurance,
  which is also costly. Based on your experience, would you
  recommend one over the other?  Neither? (i.e. am I being
  paranoid)?

  [I handle this sort of thing by making a strong declaration of my
  desire to support my client (see Mac*Chat issues 63 and 90) as
  soon as I complete my work.  I use my word as my bond.  In over
  14 years of doing business, this has been sufficient.  I fear
  worse, but it hasn't happened.]

  A second, easier question:  When you take on a new client, do you
  enter into a written contract with them?  Why or why not?

  [No, I don't usually do this with individual clients (the vast
  majority of my clientele).  Since they all are referred by
  others, they seem quite happy to take the word of somebody who
  they haven't met yet, but who talks a darned good line.  Once
  they see me at work, my behavior confirms that I am a man of my
  word, and they trust me.

  Corporations commonly ask me to sign contracts as an independent
  contractor, and I gladly stick to those agreements.
  Incidentally, one of the common clauses ask me not to disclose
  information to competitors.  If I was a weasel, it would be
  laughably easy to conduct industrial espionage, since I am given
  so much unsupervised time and can carry gigabytes of information
  in and out on my optical disks.  Since I'm not a weasel, it would
  take some heavy torture-unto-death to get me to betray my
  client's trust.

  I'm just as human as everybody else, and I don't want anyone to
  get the impression that I'm a plaster saint.  In fact, my moral
  structure, when viewed from certain angles, looks like Swiss
  cheese.  This doesn't stop me from trying to be a better human
  being, with a responsibility to the people who share my local and
  worldwide communities.

  Mac*Chat is one of several ways I put good karma out into the
  world.  I don't see any point in complaining about how the world
  is going to hell in a hand basket - That evades responsibility
  for doing something about it.  I can't change the whole world,
  but I can affect some small part of it.]

Consulting Book Reviews
-----------------------
  By Robert Hook, Queensland, Australia
  <rhook@iccu6.ipswich.gil.com.au>

  >Have you ever heard of HOW TO BE A SUCCESSFUL COMPUTER
  CONSULTANT, 3RD EDITION by Alan R. Simon? It's published by
  McGraw-Hill (Feb 1994).<

  I've seen it on the bookshelves here in sunny Brisbane, and it
  looks pretty good - I was actually thinking about buying it in
  the next couple of days (and when you understand that specialist
  books like this start at about $55 Australian Pesos, you can see
  that's a reasonable sort of endorsement).

  It looks to have a balanced approach, and concentrates on the
  business and people-skills side of things, which are likely to be
  lacking in the archetypal computer geek...

  ------

  By Jay Parr, Dunrobin, Ontario, Canada <jparr@igs.net>

  I have the book, "HOW TO BE A SUCCESSFUL COMPUTER CONSULTANT, 3RD
  EDITION", but have only started to read it.  Let's say the Table
  of Contents looks good and anything in a Third Edition must be do
  something correctly.  The author has been in business for many
  years and sounds as if he understands 'the game'.

  I have used some of the ideas: "Why Clients Use Computer
  Consultants", "Types of Computer Consultants", "Your Skill Sets",
  and "Forty Different Consulting Specialties".  These are in the
  first two chapters.

  Having just scanned the Table of Contents again, I think I will
  read some more tonight.

  This book provides a number of sections that would help Randy
  Chevrier decide whether he wants to proceed with his dream.
