ARRGH!!

Many postings of late refer to computerware. How it has this, and
is good for that and such. They all seem to assume that we all know
this place. They dont advertise anywhere I can find, ,so would somebody
post the way to get ahold of these folks?


While I'm here, let me voice my feelings about online help in Mac programs.
In general there is not enough of it, there is no easy way to get at it,
and there are no standards to follow.

I had some ideas, but then I bought Microsoft EXCEL which does what I feel
to be the ideal solution. 

Hit command-QuestionMark and the cursor becomes a question mark. Now
go to what ever you want help with. Pull down a menu, click on a window,
whatever. 

This provides an excellent opportunity to document odd key combinations,
like option-ClickClosebox and shift-command-option-ChooseOpenFromFileMenu

we now need only two things
1) flesh out the details.
2) include it in the Inside Macintosh user interface chapter. As with most
   of the Mac's features, much of the benifit comes from being able to
   count on it between programs rather than from the idea itself.

P.S.  Somebode poseted recently that there is no market for games
      on the Mac II. I have a Mac II and I WANT GAMES!!!!!!
