Date: Fri, 16 Oct 1998 12:16:40 -0700 From: John Halbig <john@garage.com> Subject: PR - Free T-Shirts, of Course
This announcement is from:
We at Pomo Publishing have no less than three great announcements about the book, "Apple T-Shirts: A Yearbook Of History At Apple Computer," and the Apple T-shirts web site.
First, is a new section for all T-shirt fans to post their comments about the book, T-shirts in general, working at Apple, or anything else that creative T-shirts bring to mind.
Second, the price for each book sold on the net has been reduced to $32.95 from $40. Selling on the net is so efficient I want to encourage all my customers to shop this way. Which leads to what I think is the best news...
A free Apple T-shirt will be given to every Internet purchase delivered to the U.S. Many friends at Apple have donated their t-shirts with the simple request that we find them good homes. I can't think of a more appreciative audience than our readers. These shirts are clean and still in top-notch condition. All shirts appear in the book and therefore have significant historic value.
There you have it - three ways to enjoy Apple's amazing past and to look forward to a bright and creative future.
The Apple T-Shirts web site is at <http://www.appletshirts.com>. Books can be ordered at <http://www.appletshirts.com/Order/Order.html>.

Date: Fri, 16 Oct 1998 12:16:36 -0700 From: John Halbig <john@garage.com> Subject: PR - RamBunctious 1.3.1
This announcement is from:
Clarkwood Software announces the immediate availability of ramBunctious 1.3.1.
ramBunctious 1.3.1 is a shareware ($12) RAM disk program for the Mac OS. Its rich set of features lets you customize your RAM disks for your desired balance of speed, security, safety, and versatility.
- - You can have several RAM disks mounted simultaneously, limited only by memory available.
- - ramBunctious has a "write-through" option. When activated, everything written to the RAM disk is saved to a (real) file. This means that the next time you mount the RAM disk, all the contents are still there. This helps protect against data loss in the event of a crash or power failure.
- - ramBunctious uses normal application memory. This means that when you're done using a RAM disk, that memory is available for other applications to use. In other words, you don't have to reboot to reclaim the memory.
- - Each RAM disk may be configured to be mounted automatically during the computer's startup process.
- - These options, and more, are fully user-configurable for each RAM disk via a status/settings window. In addition to the settings, the status window includes LED-like access indicators that flash when the RAM disk is being read from or written to.
- - ramBunctious is fully AppleScriptable.
What is new in ramBunctious 1.3.1?
- - Minor bug fixes - - Appearance overhaul
ramBunctious 1.3.1 is available now. Download links and more information are available at the ramBunctious web site:
