I have spoken to Dave Winer of Living VideoText, and we cleared up
any misunderstandings we had.  Apparently he could not get a hold of
me by phone because I am a medical student at UCSD.  He called the
undergraduate office and found out there is no undergrad with my
name, then called the employment office and found out I am not an
employee.  Since my telephone number is also unlisted he assumed I
was a pseudonym being used by a practical joker.  I assured him I
was not.  The reason he had no registration card on file is that the
dealer I bought More from refunded my money.  I did return the card
and am a registered owner of Think Tank 512.

Mr. Winer and I discussed at length the problems I had, but since it
was so long ago, I could not recall many of the actual details.  I
now believed that I may have been using a corrupted version of the
system at the time on all three of the Macs that had problems.
Thats a warning for people who use Resedit to modify the system. 

 He did return my phone call the same day, and he assures me that there
tech support team normally responds very quickly.  My problem
contacting them must have been a freak occurrence.  It was during
the week of the MacExpo show in Boston.  However it did take me
three phone calls to obtain a copy of the MacPlus compatible version
of Think Tank.

If there were a bug of the magnitude I described I am sure someone
else on the net would have encountered it, or I would have heard
about it from someone else in San Diego.  The mail I have received about
More has been very positive; however, I did receive one letter from
some who said he had problems with More using a shared volume on
MacServe.  I also tried to obtain another copy of More to test, but
the product is back ordered in San Diego

I hope this clears up any misunderstandings.  Now lets go back to
discussing the Macintosh.
