I installed System 6.0.2 on my computer at home recently, and shortly began
to notice problems with the BroadCast rdev, which lets you send messages to
other users on an AppleTalk network.  The rdev has a pop-up menu of icons
to send along with your message, and clicking on this now produces an
instant system error.  Moreover, after a while like that, just selecting
the person to send to is producing a system error.  I took a look at it on
the one computer in our department that has the latest System, and found
that the same problem with the icon menu is occurring.  BroadCast always
has and still does work just fine on our computers which we haven't yet
upgraded from System Upgrade 5.0.  Anyone have any ideas why BroadCast isn't
working properly?  The version I have is 0.5b3.

Also, a computer store we just bought a SuperMac 19" Trinitron monitor
from sent along a cable with the three different color signals, the red,
green, and blue, in their three color-coded wires.  This cable is missing,
though, the black wire, which is, I believe, used for sync.  It's not that
it's been cut off, it just isn't part of this cable.  Is this the wrong
cable (perhaps for the 16" monitor) or has it been redesigned without the
sync line?  Our new monitor has all of the same connectors on the back as
the old ones, so we know that hasn't changed.

Please e-mail all responses.  Thanks!
