Partnerships
~~~~~~~~~~~~
A number of businesses are based on partnerships of two or more
individuals. Sometimes the individuals pool their financial resources in
order to raise enough capital to launch the business. Other partnerships
are established based on complimentary skills of the partners... perhaps
Jones is really good at managing a factory and Smith is really good at
selling things.
IIgs-Mac Partnership
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A IIgs-Mac partnership via Appletalk is an effective alternative for
the IIgs to have indirect access to the internet. This is especially easy
to set up with one of the Macs with serial ports. Let the Mac surf the net
and do email. Let the Mac download software and other files for the
IIgs... and move them to the IIgs with Appletalk.
For information on networking a IIgs with a Mac refer to "The
Tinkerer's Corner" in the November 2002 issue of _The Lamp_!

New Apple Store in Omaha
""""""""""""""""""""""""
My son discovered something fun recently in his Internet surfing: Apple
will be opening an Apple Store here in Omaha, Nebraska by December of this
year! It will be at the Village Pointe mall, which is a hop and a skip from
where I live, and which I pass by every day. Woo hoo!
(My credit card is worried, however).

Aging Eyes
""""""""""
While working on an issue of GS Plus in GraphicWriter III last night, I
noticed (almost going blind working in 6 point and 7 point text) that using
Bernie II The Rescue's Power Mode to give full screen emulation made things
livable.
It's amazing how bad my eyes have become over the years :)

I am hoping to have two more volumes of GS Plus ready for release by the

"""""
Since a RSS file is the same thing as a XML file, and a XML file is a test
file, then all you really need is a text file with an extension of .xml or
.rss (or a $00 file with an extension of .xml or .rss). This will ensure
compatibility with a file system type compatible with GS/OS without needing
to institute any other changes.

Volunteer to Present a Session at KFest
"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
From awmolloy@landsnail.com Tue May 2 07:12:14 2006
Date: Tue, 2 May 2006 04:35:56 -0700 (PDT)
From: Andrew Molloy <awmolloy@landsnail.com>
To: kfest@lists.gno.org
Subject: [kfest] KFest sessions!
Ladies & Gentlemen:
While the evenings and nights of KansasFest are renowned for their
spontaneity, the mornings and afternoons are reserved for sessions spanning
a variety of uses, extensions, and applications of the Apple family. Just
as varied as these sessions are the good people who volunteer to present
them. So... do you have an idea for a session you'd like to present at
KFest? Let us know! The best way to do that is to access the session
proposal form at:
http://www.kfest.org/SessionProposal.html
You may also email sessions@kfest.org.
Sessions are typically one hour in length, held at various times throughout
the daytime hours. Past sessions have included hardware and software
demonstrations, tutorials, integration of the Apple with other devices
(Macs, scanners), Internet tips and tricks, or related subjects that would
be of interest to Apple II/Mac users.
The attendees of KansasFest are the event's heart and soul. Give us
something worth rolling out of bed for each morning!
with thanks,
Andy

What do Steven King and Steve Wozniak have in common?
