Oh, and by the way, what does a blinking apple indicate??????

My Hard disk won't boot, what can I do???????

What is the programmer's switch, where does it go??????

Gee, I sure get tired of hearing these questions.  The poster should
know that there is a file on SUMEX.STANFORD.EDU PS:<INFO-MAC> that
describes printing postscript files.  Have you looked at this file yet?

P.S. I know the answers to all the above questions.  I wish Apple
would stop wasting our time, and document its g*ddamn computer so
these frustrated users would DISAPPEAR!!!!!!

P.P.S.  3 Easy ways for postscript printing to fail ---
   (A) You must "trick" your mac by saying you have appletalk hooked
       up, and then select a non-existent laserwriter.  If you really do have
       appletalk hooked up, then you are in trouble.
   (B) If you upload a file, make sure lines are terminated by ^M's,
       e.g. UNIX uploads should be in BINARY mode.
   (C) I find that only the April 14, 1987 Laserprep/Laserwriter (old icons)
       work on our imagen printer with ultrascript.  Experiment.
