Hello, all! It's been a while (too long) since you've seen anything come out of Info-Mac. This message is the first step in correcting that situation! We have a new distribution mechanism, as you've probably already heard. If all goes well, and we certainly hope it does, you will be getting this message twice: o First, it will be delivered directly to each Info-Mac subscriber's mailbox. o Next, you should receive it as an Info-Mac Digest - in fact, it will be the only message in that digest. Assuming that this acid test passes successfully, regular delivery of the Info-Mac Digest will resume! Thanks for your patience. GO MACINTOSH!
