Yes, I agree that MacDeveloper was quite good.  Can we try to find some nice
way of posting it to the net?  It took me ooooh so long to download all of
those separate parts and then try to print them all out and wait tens of
minutes for them to be converted to the newer MacWrite format and printed.
If this electronic publishing business is going to work we've got to agree
on something better.  

I suggest that someone post a copy to the net in larger chunks, in the new
Macwrite format, Pack-It'ed together.  This would _greatly_ reduce the time
involved in the transfer/printing process.  

I think it's safe to assume that most people who read MacD would have the
new Macwrite and a large enough majority have 512k to make it worth it to
post in bigger pieces (perhaps one big piece!).
