Re: AppleWorks 5 questions

2003-06-25 Thread Jamie Pruden
Hi Mark,

*Most* AppleWorks users don't need quick scrolling... they need to 
know what fits on a page. Don't get bent about Apple's response time... 
I've been asking for 24 bit color and more than 72 dpi in bitmapped 
graphics since version 2. If it really bothers you, type the document 
in BBEdit, copy and paste it into AW, and then format. ;)

Check out NisusWriter... I think they have a mode that is similar to 
what you're looking for.

The command is always on the menu because Apple hasn't really updated 
much in AW since the days of Claris. If you'd really like to see the 
option available, try this:

Open a new word processing document.
Click on the toolbox at the bottom of the page (should show the tools 
on the left side.)
Click on the Spreadsheet tool.
Create a small spreadsheet frame.
Choose Open Frame from the Window menu.
Note that the new document is identified at the top as a WP document, 
even though it's a SS.
Choose Page View from the Window menu.
Neat, huh?

smiles,
Jamie

AppleWorks scrolls slower in Page View, and when
scrolling down quickly in a document, it is kind of
distracting to see that grey skip at the bottom of
every page. Word is quicker cux it does not do
this---by default, page view is off. Same with
Tex-Edit and BB Edit.
I don't really wanna use Microsoft, but why can't
Apple let me choose how to open documents? And why put
a command on the menu that is always unavailable?

Fwd: AppleWorks 5 questions

2003-06-24 Thread Jamie Pruden
Hi Mark,

You don't. Word processing documents are *always* in page view.

You could set the margins on the page (Format Document) to 0 inches. 
You should note that this will cause havoc when you print as your 
printer will cut off anything that is outside its built-in margins 
(normally about 1/2 inch on all sides.)

I'm curious though... why wouldn't you want to see how your document 
will print?

smiles,
Jamie

Hi all;
Just resubscribed after a few years off list. I just got a Performa 
631CD
that has been working fine for the past couple of months. The other 
day I
powered it up and got no video. Checked the pram battery and it read 
1.5
volts. I had an extra that read 2.5 volts. Put it in and video came up.
  After using it for about 5 minutes the video just faded out. Left it
running and video came back after about an hour. Does this sound like a
battery or dying monitor? Any and all replies greatly appreciated. TIA
--Thanks; Rev. George

Would you folks suggest finding/buying new memory or perhaps buying
used on eBay.

Definitely not for capture, and even for Mac video output, you'll be
hard-pressed to find something that will be much better.

Re: Quad collectability

2003-01-29 Thread Jamie Pruden
I don't know if there are actually production numbers available out there 
in the www... I think the pickle is referring to:

1. Time of production
Most Quadra models were produced for business users for an extended 
period of time, so models like the 950 and the 700 are pretty common. 
Their prices reflect this...

2. Limited editions
Ferinstance... the Twentieth Anniversary Mac was only produced in small 
numbers, so it's pretty nice if you can find one. I'm totally kicking 
myself over that one... I worked at Claris about that time and could have 
picked one up for a song.

3. Top of the line
Anytime you have a model at the top of the speed charts, it's probably at 
least a little collectable.

4. Oddities
This is where you'll find the real cool ones. MacTV (built-in TV,) TAM 
(upright form factor,) Quadra 605/LC475 (very small footprint,) and the 
Cube (Ooohh factor) all fall into this category. These might be a 
little more collectable than the run of the mill machines.

My Old stuff collection consists of:

SE/30 (128 MB RAM, 32-bit clean ROM) (fastest compact Mac)
IIfx (32 MB RAM) (fastest 030 Mac)
950 (256 MB RAM + 256 MB Nubus RAM Disk) (Most expandable 040 Mac)
840AV (96 MB RAM) (fastest 040 Mac)
PB100 (first real portable Mac)
LC475 (really tiny footprint)

You can see why I got mine... collecting is a personal thing for many of 
us... it's not just based on how many or how valuable... ;)

smiles,
Jamie

 Very unlikely, as they were produced in great

So are there actually production numbers available for
the various Mac models? One can roughly estimate,
sure, but is there any source for exact numbers
produced?

Re: Last 68K versions of software?

2003-01-23 Thread Jamie Pruden
Hi Mark,

I happen to have a copy of both Illustrator 7.0 and 8.0 sitting right 
here (I'm selling off my cache of older software on the Swap List...)

7.0 runs on an 030 or newer, System 7.5 or later.
8.0 requires a PPC, System 7.5 or later.

I wanna say 5.x.

I think it was actually 7.x. I recall having a copy of 7.0.1 on my 7500 a 
few years back that kept cussing at me becuase it was optimised for 68k 
not PPC.

Re: System 7.5.5

How much virtual memory are you using?

This uses disk space just like any other file... and is quite invisible...

Hi Group,

I've just completed a clean install of OS 7.5.5 on my Q 605 and my HD
window says there are 99.x megs on disk and 55.x mags remaining. Is this
possible or has MS acquired Apple? I can't find any individual files that
seem to be taking up much space. My trash is emptied. I threw away my old
system. Any ideas what is going on?

If this is for real, what files can I throw away safely? I only have a 160M
HD, (for the time being) and about 30 megs of apps yet to install.
