1) Why does my Mac often take a look at whatever floppy disk is in the
drive when I do something which has nothing to do with the floppy? Is
it something to do with Desktop files?
2a) Why does my 6200's TV need to use the 7.5.1 version of Apple Video
Player (as supplied with the computer) rather than the latest one (which
loses the sound on the BBC channels and keeps changing the screen size
to "nearly maximised" or going into a bizarre palette?
2b) Is this related to the fact that a friend's 5200 (originally Danish
localised, now UK 8.0) can't get the sound for BBC at all, only a
buzzing noise? (I swapped the 6200 & 5200's video & tuner cards and
thus proved that it's the 5200 itself that has this problem.)
3) (Not a question) I've found a bug in ClarisWorks 5.0! Copy text in
the default font. It always pastes in Helvetica even though it shows as
the default font on the Clipboard.
