[slinkelist] TitleTrack (Mac/slinke) Tip

Here's a tip for those of us running the TitleTrack Jukebox software with 
the slinke on the Mac.

If you have to share an Appletalk printer on the printer port with the
slinke, you probably have discovered that AppleTalk must be disabled and the
Mac restarted prior to running TitleTrack. This is minor annoyance at best.

An easier solution is, prior to running TitleTrack Jukebox, go into the
AppleTalk control panel and, rather than making AppleTalk inactive, instead
change the port setting from 'Printer' to 'Remote Only'. Save the setting
and then start Titletrack Jukebox without problem.

I imagine this can be made AppleScript-able, so that everything works
automagically. Of course, be sure to put the setting back to 'Printer' when
you're done with Titletrack.
