Disk First Aid...word to the wise.

Some people have mentioned on these lists that you need to run DFA multiple times sometimes to fix a problem. Well, they're right. A user had a crash today, his Powerbook came back up with a flashing question mark. Booted from the system CD, ran DFA. It found a huge pile of problems overlapp

Since you are new to the Mac universe, here are a few mouse hints. Disclaimer: I really do not like two-button mice myself, as I teach both Mac and PC beginner courses and the people are always accidentally right-clicking and pulling up those confusing (to beginners) shortcut menus. To get right-

Duo 230 disassembly

Are there any docs out there about disassembly methods of these Duos. I did manage to get mine apart to resolder the AC adapter connector, but it was quite scary. I need to open it up again, to install a modem, and it sure would be nice to have the correct disassembly instructions. TIA, Oscar __

Word processor for a PB170

I've got a PB 170 running System 7.5.3. I picked it up for $10 because I thought it would make a good system for use for typing up papers and the like. My problems is that I have no idea what kind of word processor I would get for it. I assume maybe some old version of MS Word, or Appleworks.

Re: best writer app.

While it is much-maligned in Mac circles, Word 6 serves me very well as a word processor on my PowerBook 5300/40mb ram, used in conjunction with Word 2000 for Windows on a desktop PC. You do need to download an extra filter to open documents saved as Word 2000, but it's my impression that Word

Depending on the type of writing you're doing, you might want to take a look at Three By Five, an index card filing system. The manual shows it being used as a bulletin board with file cards on it but I'm finding that it's handling easily much more than that. There's an Export to Final Draft a
