Re: [Summary-Talk] Startupitem?

The Macintosh System 8, 9 and OS X version of Summary requires that
someone be logged in on the console to run. You can setup Summary as a
Startup Item on the Accounts control panel for a specific account and
then setup that account to login automatically.

If you use the OSX Command Line version of Summary you can setup a cron
job to launch Summary or you can install it as a startup item. I
recommend the cron approach, though it is less "Mac" like. We don't
currently distribute a startup item script but a couple of our users
have written such scripts.

Dr. Seuss books . . . can be read and enjoyed on several levels. For
example, 'One Fish Two Fish, Red Fish Blue Fish' can be deconstructed
as a searing indictment of the narrow-minded binary counting system.
