Portrait display w/your powerbook
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. Supports all varieties of LCDs Will support stationary LCDs with VESA-compliant rotating mount hardware Will support all rotating orientations: 90, 180, 270, and landscape formats Supports multiple displays including Windows® 2000, XP and Mac Will switch from portrait to landscape, and back Will resize windows and application display Pivot is resolution independent, and will support the highest resolution that the graphics card can display Will automatically adapt to the present language version of the operating system language supports English, Japanese, French, German, Spanish, Dutch, Italian, Korean, and Chinese both in traditional and simplified versions. (This description has been modified so as to not conflict with copyright laws). 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. URL: http://us.portrait.com/products/pivotpro.htm Just info for you other PB users.

Re: TiBook Screen Scratches (cases)
Dear Paul, Did a quick search under 'Halliburton' The Zero Z7 cases are aluminum and moistureproof. It's briefcase with shoulder strap. But there is another (Trager Computer Transporter) that is a hardsided sleeve, Just holds the PB. The company is called eBags.

He keeps it in a sleeve within another messenger style bag, with not much weight pressing against it but you cant help it sometimes if you set your bag down and it flops sideways. He took it out, and the owc logo which was pressed into the vynl protector was now marked on the screen. When my PB540 screen failed I took it apart to see if I could fix it. The molded screw receptacles in the case were all cracked. It had led a life of the road, being toted in a backpack through airports all around the world. There is a lot of stress put on a computer in a pack, especially when your sprinting through St. Louis because your TWA commuter flight is late and you got to catch the 767 to LA. I'm really sold on the packs and really appreciate having the computer on my back when I have to deal with a suitcase. What is needed is a hard case that is padded on the inside for holding your laptop inside a backpack or brief style case. I've been looking for such a case and have yet to find it. Ideally it would be about two inches thick, with about 1/2 inch of padding on the inside and a hinged lid on one end. The tiBook would slip in one end and the lid would close and lock it firmly in place. The case should be rigid enough that if would absorb outside forces without flexing and transferring the forces to the computer. The padded sleeves don't protect the computer frame from external flexing forces, they just spread the external forces over a wider area. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: TiBook scratches
Dear Ms. Nancy B. I think that you have a case for getting another 'book. Tears in the screen are Not acceptable, it will cause endless irritation every time you look at it. Please, contact SmallDog and explain the situation. I am sure the will offer to replace the machine. What your story tells me... is there may be an unhappy employee there trying to cause the company problems. I have run into this before in a firm that I was consulting for, they were able to pinpoint the perpetrator and convict the Sod of purposely damaging the product before shipping it out (military contract). I am almost certain that sending out a portable computer with a tear in the screen does not reflect SmallDog's QA policy. If they do not support you, then we on the list need to know this about them, because if they will not stand behind their products new or refurbished, they will not get my money in the future. Granted the above is only a hypothesis that may not be true. But... Thank you for your consideration. With respect John McKee Nancy Butts wrote: Hi, Although I LOVE my TiBook, which I bought refurbished from SmallDog, it came out of the box with an actual tear in the screen. I guess that doesn't qualify as a scratch though, since the gouge actually extended through the entire surface of the screen, whatever it's made of.

Re: small dog on the ball
Well then, That deserves an apology on my part to the people at SmallDog. I apologize for any hurt feelings that I may have caused. It's amazing the people you meet on this forum. It's also reassuring. With respect. John McKee ben wrote: Nancy purchased her computer from us in January and never contacted us for assistance, nor notified us of any problems.

Re: lcd resolution
Gee Vlad, I'm confused, Do you mean the typeface is too small to read, or that you are running out of screen real estate because of the many windows that are open. If the later... Try Virtual 1.6.1 A shareware program that 'creates' virtual windows for your machine. It can handle up to eight full screen windows that are separate from each other, you select from a small floating window that takes up a minimum of desk space. I sometimes have as many as seven applications on at one time and I can dedicate a window to each one.

Re: OT: kinda... Free GUI FTP client for MacOSX
Greetings Eric D. It's a wonder when you involve attorneys, just have them send a letter or email to a small company threatening legal action, and you see all kinds of things happen.
