[Duo2400] Duo 230 trackball cleaning

Forgive my ignorance: how do you get the trackball of a Duo230 out in order to clean the mechanism? On my old PB170 the ring that holds the ball down twisted off; this doesn't seem to work on the Duo... Thanx in advance, Philip R. -- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net!

Hi all, Over the years I have come to the conclusion that Netscape (most if not all versions) is faster if you turn the disk cache OFF by reducing its size to 0. I have measured "before and after" on many occasions and the cache always slows it down. The only way I can see that the Netscape disk c

I actually have two of these really nifty items. Global Gulag doesn't like to talk about these at all! They were actually spun out into their own company call One World Systems. One World Systems brought some significant improvements including some cross platform capabilities. But alas OWS is no m

[Duo2400] Laptop tv trays. . .

This is a long shot, but since I've been using these, I've been impressed at how effective they are in keeping my 2400 running cool. Actually, they're aluminum trays used in dental practices to store instruments. They measure 11" x 7" x 1" a little more than 1mm thick and fit neatly under our 2400
