I am the owner of a faithful original OUTBOUND portable Mac-clone. Through thick and thin (mostly thick, it is kind of chunky), it has computed away without complaint. Now, fate has laid it low. As it was suffering from a bad case of hard-disc congestion, I purchased and installed AUTODOUBLER on it. Bad move. Autodoubler crashes on the Outbound. What is WORSE, due to some quirk in the Outbound's keyboard handler, pressing SHIFT on boot does not solve the problem. As my OUTBOUND is a hard-disc only model, I cannot boot the machine! Also, I don't have a Plus anymore to "dock" to the Outbound. If there is anyone in the TOKYO area who has an original Outbound with an external floppy disc drive or a docking module that will let me bypass the internal HD, I would greatly appreciate it if you would email me. Many thanks in advance. -- +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Robert J.
