I am almost finished with a biblography card. I also just noticed that a
couple of the sounds are in the sounds folder on my hard drive, and have
to copy the resources into the stack. No problem, it just takes time. As
for the upload, I plan on uploading it to the FTP sites. It will be
shrunk for Caltech and binsciied for ground. I only have a 33.6
connection available, so if anyone with a faster connection wants to
put it on comp.binaries.apple2, feel free to do so. I would have to man
the computer while it does each segment. I do not know when I'll be able
to do the upload. I need a clear night to leave my computer on and need
to be up later than my mother. She doesn't want me to be on the 'net
when she's home. I won't have this problem if and when I get my own
phone line for the 'net.
The file will probably be larger than 1440K, so should I upload a
segmented file to Ground or one large file? It doesn't make any
difference when I use Fetch.
BTW, I haven't mentioned this stack before because I didn't think it was
that good. But when several Wintel users saw it, they were surprised at
what an old Apple IIGS could do. I am doing this because of their
opinions. These people were not nearly as computer literate as I am. I
will repeat, I didn't think it was that good. It is, however, funny.
As for the Enterprise-A never encountering the Borg, that is correct. I
should have said what would have happened if the Enterprise-A had met
the SAME cube ship that the Enterprise-D met in "Hide and Q". Keep that
in mind when you see the stack. It is dated 1995, but Star Trek:First
Contact reinforced the premis.
