| Some one just told me that 6.0.7 is mainly for the new macs (si, lc, classic,
| etc.).  The problem I see is that Hypercard 2.0 will only run on 6.0.7.
+---------------

It is... in the sense that it was intended to provide support for those
machines.  But the tech notes that come with the online release prove that it
has bug fixes for *all* Macs.  Plus the System 7 Sound Driver.

+---------------
| I have an SE/30 and IIx at work and a plus at home. Has anyone with the same
| computer setup had a problem with 6.0.7.?   Better yet, has anyone read the
| issue of MacWeek that this article was posted in?  
+---------------

I dunno about MacWeek, but the worst problem I've had so far (aside form
having to wait until HC2.0 came in, because the droids at the local "Apple
Authorized Dealer" think HC1.2.2 is still the current 1.x version) is that
every time I run an app for the first time under 6.0.7, it installs a resource
in System.  GateKeeper was going nuts... then again, it's an old version, so
maybe I'm seeing something that's normal.  I've set it to Notify for the nonce.
