To produce and edit this debut issue of the Maybe Quarterly,
all of the following Apple Macintosh computer hardware and software
was used:
The computer used was a Macintosh PowerPC G4;
with dual 1.42 GHz processors, a 2 MB L3 Cache per processor,
and 2 GB of DDR SDRAM. The monitors used in this system are dual
Apple flat-panel LCD screens; with the 23-inch monitor set
to 1920 x 1200 resolution, and the 20-inch monitor set to 1680
x 1050 resolution. This publishing system also contains dual
DVD-RW burners; a Pioneer DVR-105, and a Toshiba SD-R1312. The
audio portion of this system is powered by Altec-Lansing tower
5.1 surround speakers, which is used primarily to listen to music
during the editing of this first issue of the Maybe Quarterly.
The operating system on this system is Macintosh OS X, codenamed ‘Panther,’ which
has been flash-updated to version 10.3.6 --- the most up-to-date
OS patch, as of the time of the writing of these words. Other
requisite software is Microsoft WORD X (Service Release # 1);
Entourage X (Service Release # 1) for e-mail and scheduling;
the Apple Safari web browser (version 1.2.4); Netscape 7.2 web
browser for online compatibility testing; Dreamweaver MX 2004
(version 7.0.1) professional website production suite; Adobe
Acrobat 5.0.5 for PDF creation and publication; and Thomson ISI
Research EndNote 7.0 for research citations.
The scanner-printer utilized in this system is a Hewlett-Packard
PSC 2210 Thermal Ink Jet printer, capable of printing high-resolution
24-bit color prints and proofing sheets. The paper used in this
printer is Max-Brite 24 lb. ink-jet paper which boasts a crisp
94 brightness. This is used both as a proof and final document
printer. The flatbed scanner is capable of scanning at a very
high-resolution of 4800 d.p.i. --- which is more than adequate
for the requirements of the Maybe Quarterly.
Apple iTunes 4.7 (with optional AirTunes capability) was used
to listen to some of the editor’s favorite music during
the entire production process. Among these favorites artists
and groups are; The BEATLES, Led Zeppelin, YES, Peter Gabriel,
Red Hot Chili Peppers, Guns n’ Roses, and the newly reconstituted
Guns n’ Roses, which is now known as Velvet Revolver.
Snacks eaten during the production process include; Wild Cherry
Pepsi, Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, and Entenmann’s
Cinnamon Buns. Beyond this, the editor imbibed in the following
drugs during the production process (which were taken only for
purposes of spiritual ascension) were; Marijuana; Salvia Divinorum;
and a flavorable red-wine soaked with Blue Lotus leaves --- which
were crushed to make a very special treat favored by the Ancient
Egyptians.
For the occasional break from work, the editor entertained himself
by playing the XBOX videogame HALO 2 in campaign mode, in the
living room home theatre.
The final publication of the Maybe Quarterly has been in the
oversight of the wonderful administrators of Maybe Logic Academy,
working under the name of Deepleaf Productions. All told, the
editor spent approximately 150 hours organizing, editing, and
producing this debut issue of the Maybe Quarterly.
“May the light of truth and the prayers of
peace guide you wherever you travel on this or any other
plane of higher consciousness.”
