Everyone who believes that the Macintosh is a holy cause should read this essay by James Curry, a sociologist who studies the software industry. It's time to heal this wound. Macintosh is a computer, a good one, with lots of very creative users. That's all it is. Thanks!

A wonderful elevator prank from panicboy@ix.netcom.com: "A friend and I used to get on at different floors; when we were both on, one of us would say, 'Anyone want to trade shirts?' Then we'd exchange shirts and watch the reactions." Now that's funny!

DaveNet: "Attacks", "DNS Failure".

"Mail Starting 7/17/97".

5/7/97: "Programmers".

Eva Way Konigsberg on Sex and Power.

There was a serious "DNS Outage" this morning affecting the entire Internet. We felt it here, many of today's DaveNet emails bounced. It's very frustrating and it's going to take a fair amount of work to fix the problem. And this is just one tiny corner of the Internet.

Does this product evoke your fear? (There will be many like it.)

Simson L. Garfinkel on HotWired: Electronic Border-Control.

PC WEEK: Report on the DNS outage.

SJ Mercury: Apple slows flow of red ink.

Marimba: Castanet 1.1.
