I've read that these concepts that were supposedly discovered (as the = story goes) by Steve Jobs at Xeros PARC and were brought to Lisa (and = later to the Macintosh) were *already* in various stages of development at = Apple; bringing Steve Jobs to see them in action at PARC was a way for the = development teams to sell him on using them.

It isn't so much that he discovered them at PARC, as he discovered them to = be *useful* at PARC. =20 BRIAN/bpearce_at_cloud9.net

Date: Sun, 23 Dec 2001 12:16:43 -0500 Subject: [NTLK] About System Patches From: Stephanie Maks <steph_at_maksystems.com>
Hi All,
I was tinkering around with my MP2100 yesterday, doing things I probably shouldn't, and managed to blow away the system patch in it. Formerly, it displayed in the memory info: 2.1 (717260) -1
And after I messed it up, it displayed: 2.1 (717006) -0 in the same spot. I read in the FAQ about the system patches, and in the Readme that accompanied the 717260 download from Apple, it said that the MP2100 = shipped with 717260 installed. But I guess they actually just installed the patch at the factory, as opposed to having new ROM chips.
Another thing I noticed which was interesting (to me at least) was that = the system RAM info was Higher under 717006 than it was 717260. With 717260 = the memory info slip displays something in the range of 3980K of System Ram. But under 717006 it said 4042K of System Ram (Or something in that area, I didn't write it down. It was over 4000 though.) So the System Patch = loads itself into DRAM I guess? Or writes into the Flash, but on restart loads into RAM?
One other thing I have noticed, is that the heap displayed by Avi's = Backdrop and Dashboard has dropped from around 400K down to about 150K. Though as = I said, the indicated System Ram still shows the full 4MB. Everything still works, I did a restore from a card, and the card I keep all my packages on works fine.
Now a question about the system patches. I have read that there was a = patch from Apple numbered 717246 that was identical to the 717260 patch, except that supposedly it displayed '(c) Newton Inc' instead of '(c) Apple Computers'. People appearantly wanted to use that patch instead of 260 so their Message Pad could say '(c)Newton Inc'. So here's my silly question. Where does it say (c) Apple Computers? Not in the memory info. Not in = the extras drawer. I don't have the 717246 patch, though I've been scouring = the web for it. I'm just wondering if it makes any difference, considering I can't figure out where the (c) Apple.. message is to begin with.

If it's in good shape, that's a pretty good price, as I know I paid more = in the last year for a 2100 with no memory card or modem. I'd definitely go = for the 2100 over the 130 but that's just my opinion.
