Neatest thing,
I downloaded Pivot Pro's MacPortrait 6.x recently, a thirty day trial
period of the software program. This program allows you to use your
powerbook in portrait mode. Obviously, you have to set the PB on it's
side to use this. It Works! It places a icon on the menu bar to select a
variety of options, ranging from screen resolutions to rotating the
screen ninety or more degrees. It looks weird w/the PB on its side, but
if you do a lot of whole page modifications to forms and contracts as I
do, it prevents an awful lot of scrolling. It's not that expensive,
$49.95 for the download and $59.95 for the CD versions.

It does have issues with the sleep mode in newer machines, which they
have purportedly fixed with a patch/update.
This is not for everyone, but I find it useful.

Just info for you other PB users.
