About this site
Welcome to the repository for selected posts to uk.comp.sys.mac. These 'gems' are organized by category, and there is an infinitesimal chance that there might be some kind of funky PHP/SQL filing and search mechanism. Don't bank on it though.
Posts are nominated for inclusion by contributors to the froup. They are selected on the basis of originality, whimsy, humour, usefulness and whatever tickles fancies. Acceptance and rejection is by the gems moderator, whose decision is final. So there.
