Re: Update Netscape for Pismo?
Curious though...how come you aren't running MacOS X on your Pismo? Because if you are, you get the goodness of Safari right there in the OS. Pismos run MacOS X very well. All you need to do is get some more RAM in there I have 320 MB of RAM. Sufficient for Netscape 7, or not? I'm not running OSX because the software that I use for my photo business only runs on OS 9 for now. They have not updated for X yet, but are working on it. -- Regards, Les -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Word X Question
Is anyone using Word X? Office 2001 Word allowed me to open both the Dictionary and the Thesaurus alongside a document on the desktop and to switch back and forth between them for information at will. In Office X (Word) this is no longer possible. The Thesaurus must be closed after each use to move to the dictionary, an incredible waste of effort and time. This sort of backward-stepping nonsense really displaces my sanity. I haven't been able to find anything in the Help menu, and have finally reloaded 2001 from a back-up disk (my Pismo died and took EVERYTHING with it; back-up, back-up, back-up) and I'm using it in OS9 -- an absurd move backwards after purchasing Word X. I'll try to locate an Office X tech site and phone. If this is unfixable I want my money returned, and I'll just use Word from Office 2001. Thanks for allowing me to throw a fit!

It is definitely sufficient for Netscape 7. I would strongly suggest going the Mozilla route because Moz is a bit leaner and faster than the AOL-packaged Netscape. You will be very happy when you finally can move to X. You might want to up the RAM in anticipation of the move.

I ask mainly just out of interest - I keep track of photo software (professional hazard) and I wasn't aware of any major tools that weren't OS X compatible by now. The comment is a note that many applications run better under OS X. Photoshop 6, for example, is much faster in classic than in OS 9. Add in the stability of the Classic/OS X set up and the multitasking now possible, and it becomes quite a different experience.

Re: Word X Question
No, it would seem that not being able to use both the dictionary and thesaurus simultaneously is an improvement from Redmond. If I can suggest a workaround, use Omni Group's OmniDictionary and Word's Thesaurus. Erick On Sunday, Aug 24, 2003, at 19:21 America/Indianapolis, tivo wrote: Is anyone using Word X?

Re: Word X
I'm using Word X on my Pismo with no problems. I think your problem is that the thesaurus is an interactive script while the dictionary is not. If you highlight a word in your document first, then bring up the dictionary, it'll bring up the definition on your screen. Clicking on the thesaurus at that point will bring up the interactive script with the dictionary still displayed on the screen. Just keep in mind that the thesaurus is interactive, not a static screen. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Just keep in mind that the thesaurus is interactive, not a static screen. I can get both the Dictionary and the Thesaurus up alongside the document on the screen at the same time; this is not the issue. Bringing them up as you describe still does not allow me to leave the Thesaurus to perform any other tasks in Word without closing its window. In Office 2001 Word I can go between the two Word Tools (using them BOTH for information) without closing the Thesaurus. (However, in both programs it is necessary to close the Thesaurus to work on the Word document) The operation in Office X Word that I describe is either an error of programming or I'm missing something, for the way that it operates in the most recent version lacks the versatility of the earlier version. This is incomprehensible to me. The versatility that I describe above is one of the most important factors for which I purchased this program. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Word X Question
I'm unsure about the meaning of your first sentence, whether you're being facetious or not, or what you mean by No. Thanks for the suggestion, but going online to check a dictionary would be more effort and time than simply closing and opening the Thesaurus on my desktop, which I do so from the tool bar icons. Word's Dictionary is adequate (when it's not I use very comprehensive hard-copy desk dictionaries -- and a large thesaurus). The speed and at-hand reference adaptability has been lost, and this is what I'm decrying; it doesn't make sense to me that this was done deliberately as an improvement, but perhaps occurred as an oversight or incorrect program writing? No, it would seem that not being able to use both the dictionary and thesaurus simultaneously is an improvement from Redmond.

Wallstreet Woes
On my Wallstreet 250, when I sometimes lift the unit using one hand on the corner near the battery bay, the unit will sometimes lose power, I imagine it has something to do with the contact between the battery and the connector being lost, but has anyone seen a problem like this before? any solutions? -Andrew -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
