2 questions:

Is there a version of the talking moose DA that works with System 4.2,
Finder 6.0 on an SE?  I tried version 2.1(?) from the info-mac archive
on sumex-aim, but it just produced a flickering bomb-dialog-box.  Also,
is there a MacInTalk that's newer than version 1.1?  If the answer to
either is yes, where can I get them from?

Second question: does anyone with a hard disk and a Mac Plus, SE, or II
use any of the commercial disk cache programs (PowerDisk, TurboCharger,
etc.) in preference to Apple's RAM cache?  If so, why?  If not, why
not?  I remember when the early HFS systems came out there was a lot of
discussion about alleged misfeatures of the RAM cache.  Has it been
improved?  Do people use it or leave it off?

Thasks,
Mike Khaw
