Jean has some IIGS experience from her classroom work as a teacher, but it was limited to running 8-bit soft­ ware from floppies (sadly, the usualmodein whichAppleIIGS's are under employed in our schools). So the world of System 6, aftermarket hard drives, and RAMFast was brand new to her. Those of us who have grown up with the IIGS have absorbed a lot of new information gradu­ ally, but she and Dave were sud­ denly overwhelmed with the com­ plexities of setting up a hard drive and a RAMFast SCSI card, and installing System 6 and ProSel-16 all at once. Neil Laubenthal (our hero) came to the rescue. In response to frantic cries for help, Neil spent a good chunk oftime helping the Jernigans set up their system. The process was not entirely free of pitfalls, so it was decided that the troubleshooting and hands­ on help session should continue atourmeeting, where more great minds could contribute, and all of us could learn a few things. The number of problems we had to troubleshoot increased by one when the system was fired up and we found a big black line across the top oftheir Apple RGB monitor (it hadn't been there be­ fore).

The TCS also allows you to post messages for others to read. No technical question is too easy or too difficult for the many experts who use the TCS daily. ff you want opinions or information on anything from software to ethnic restaurants, the answer is a phone call away. ff you want to discuss WAP or world affairs,Claris prod­ ucts or current movies, they're all on the TCS.
