[11:00p] Computer Town Situation Update: From John, "As a recently laid off Computer Town employee, I'm aware of the recent happening. They had to restructure to stay open. It's unfortunate that the small guys are getting eaten up. Their New England stores are still open. Although with reduced hours and no longer on Sundays. I only worked part-time, because I enjoyed helping Mac users. I am also a 14 year customer of Computer Town and firmly believe in the benefit of having a local specialized store, to deal with. The big chains leave a lot to be desired. It can make a big difference when the sales people are Mac users and not just selling you a commission ticket."

[9:45p] Smart Scroll 3.7 is Out: From the author Marc Moini, "Smart Scroll allows setting a comfortable Scrolling Speed in all situations and for all Mac models. Users of fast G3 and G4 Macs may now select text past the edge of a window before it speeds by, as well as navigate long menus with ease! And while Apple's "Smart Scrolling" concerns mostly the Finder, the original Smart Scroll brings Proportional Thumbs and Live Scrolling to applications such as Netscape, Emailer, AppleWorks, Word, and most system add-ons such as control panels.

Version 3.7 features an all new scrolling control engine for improved smoothness. It also adds support for QuarkXpress and WordPerfect, and solves issues with PowerMail and a few other apps. Smart Scroll runs on Mac OS 9.0.4 and previous versions (going back to System 7.0). It is shareware, so you can try it for free then buy only if you like it. The shareware fee is $12, registered users of previous versions may upgrade for free."

[2:30p] Apple is Non-Partisan: From Dave Ottalini, Vice President of the Washington Apple Pi Apple Mac User Group, to Macs Only!, "Hello from the Democratic National Convention in LA. Your Macs Only! readers will be happy to know that Apple has a huge mural outside on one of the buildings facing the Staples Center... featuring a number of Democratic notables including FDR, Bobby Kennedy, Cesar Chavez and others with the 'Think Different' trademark. ALSO on the convention floor, you will see a blue iMac for each state delegation to use. A great statement for Apple! Especially in a sea of PCs most everywhere else...."

[10:45a] Circuit City or Not? Circuit City's Sunday Washington Post ad supplement (booklet) makes no mention of Apple computer products. Circuit City is supposedly scheduled for the first Summer Demo Day tomorrow.
