Re: best writer app

Hi Vicki (and James): Vicki asked for advice about a W/P for working on a PUB 170 that launches quickly. I've followed this thread with some interest for two reasons: (1) Because my W/P needs have often been exactly in Vicki's category, that is using an older PUB on my lap in bed and requiring a

I read that you could start from a CD and reformat the drive. I like your solution for remembering the password. ;-) Gary peg wrote: > Thanks for the links. These are text files that open fine if dropped > onto BBEdit. No solution to the password problem, though. I wouldn't > even mind reformat

Re: best writer app

I still have both MS Word 5.1a and WordPerfect 3.5e for my older macs. Take notice that Word 5.1a is pre-PowerPC so it's ideal for those 68K Macs that have limited RAM expandability. On '040 systems it's fast and very capable. WordPerfect was my favorite word processor (and still is) for Syste

Here's what Apple Kbase article says: If you forget your password, you cannot bypass the hard drive by booting the PowerBook with extensions off. The password is written to the hard drive on the driver partition. You should take your PowerBook, wi

I have a powerbook 5300cs running 8.6 that I lent out to a friend. I was trying to entice him with the Starry Night programme for those who are into astronomy. Long story short, he was worried about the thing being stolen so he used the password application to set up a password. And now he's f
