Re: Orca Basic

[Yves McDonald <""yves.mcdonald\"@NO SPAM sympatico.ca>]

Speaking of the Toolbox, a friend of mine will lend me its two Apple 
Toolbox books from Addison-Wesley.  I will reach 'nerdvana' Real Soon 
Now.  My long-term project is to control my house with my GS and some 
X10 interface.  Getting a programming environment and knowing GS/OS 
services are good first steps.  Making my GS and my Linux PC talk 
together could be fun too.
