	Well, there is something you should know. The highest version of the
system software for the APPLE computer is system 6.0.1. There is a 6.0.2
which translates everything into French. The MACINTOSH on the other hand
has recently gone into System X. So From this I presume you must have
got the name of your computer wrong.

	Since you are running a Macintosh and not an Apple, you should
logically contact some Macintosh people rather than Apple people. You
would be looking for a newsgroup with "mac" in the title. For example
comp.sys.mac.*, comp.mac.*, or comp.os.mac.*. Although the people here
may be able to give you an answer you would best be served by Mac folk
rather than Apple// folk.
