Re: List mail bouncing message

I've been getting a couple of bounced messages per day... but only from this list. I think it's a problem with the list emailing software. Additionally, if you're on AOL, it's almost impossible to actively participate on the list. A standard reply to an email from the list will be rejected

I have VPC 6.1.0, 10.3.3, 768mb, on a Pismo 500mhz. On it I run Windows 95, 98, and XP. If you have patience (lots and lots of patience), then everything seems to run OK. I use it primarily for MS Project and MS Visio for consulting projects. Forget gaming! -- G-Books is sponsored by

I've looked and looked all over Apple's Web Site for a Battery Reset and have never found one that'll work on a Pismo. Can you tell me exactly where to find it? Ned -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and... Small Dog Electronicshttp://www.smalldog.com | Refurbished Drives

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
