Re: Adobe Type Manager Query
Brent Pennington
Try searching on versiontracker.com. I just did a search there for Adobe Type Manager, and was able to download version 4.6.1 which is compatible with OS 9.

Hi Susan;

It depends on which version of iMac you have. If it is one of the original iMacs, then yes, it is a bit like surgery (although much less bloody!), but if you have one of the newer iMacs, then it is a relatively easy procedure. Let us know!

tackle this myself, has anyone had experience with doing this and could say if it's easy or not so easy to do? I may just take it in and get this done--I upgraded and old Performa with ease but wondered...I read the Tech Info Library instructions on this and it seemed like performing surgery...

Adobe Type Manager Query
BrianS
Hello,
I just spent a little while trying to download ATM Lite from Adobe, and was shunted off to a File Not Found link after every registration attempt.. found 4.0 something on an old floppy.... Hundreds of errors on their site as far as DTD html code conventions are concerned, so it's not surprising... Three Questions: * Is there any way to run Acrobat Reader, without having to use ATM? * Does Adobe pay more attention to Mac OS protocols than they do to DTD conventions re: html ? * Can ATM be disabled so as not to interfere with BBEdit ( when writing code) ?

Friend Seeking FIRST Computer (advice)
BrianS
Hello,
I have a friend, who's surrounded by Windoze People, asked me to help him find a used comp (500 or less, canadian, thats $350US+shipping). We're in Montreal, by the way,and quebec is PC territory (don't laugh, it goes great with their lagging economy) I thought about an old 540c or something, as he does not have any preference, but the older laptops (I also have a PB150) are a bit problematic (screen hinges and stuff like that)... so... Perhaps someone could get in touch here, or in email, with some links (I've never even looked at eBay, for instance) or give me an idea how secure the transactions are with auctions, etc. I need links... I'm not sure what things go for, I do have the link for a general idea on prices, and I'd like to see my friend drivin a PowerPC, 8.6 , a fair amount of RAM (32, 64, etc), , he's a newbie, after all,(even a 7500-9600 with 7.6.1 would be very nifty IMHO) and wants to write, see what the Internet's about, etc. A really great guy, so I don't want him making any large-scale mistakes, okay? Thanks a million...(I'm in Digest mode, so if it's no trouble please email me direct... thanks) All theBest, BrianS |

Alien jpg's, .doc's, etc
BrianS
Hello All,
For the last week or so, the strangest thing has been happening: I have downloaded a couple of picture files (jpeg) and after the download completes, i'm left with an Application. You know, the little diamond-shaped app icon. When I click on it, I get a dialog which states "The application xyz.jpg could not be launched, Error -39" or something similar. I thought it was an iCab problem at first. I'm on an LC475 (OS7.6.1). This is following years of trouble-free downloads. Now, I was online with a cousin last night on AOL Instant messenger (yuck) and the same thing happened, and, when i wrote back the old "sorry, it didn't come through", she re-sent as a Windows bmp (yuck, again) and the same result, THEN, she sent a MS doc file of the pic, and after watching a 1.3MB file being transferred, all that was in my designated download folder was a 32k application, the same old (new) thing. As if that weren't odd enough. Earlier in the week I kept one of these little 32k so-called applications (alien pic files? I don't know) on my hard drive, and the next tme clicked on a Graphic Converter document (jpg), instead of Graphic Con launching, I got the same bloody Error39 message...upon trashing the oddball app, GCon launched as usual.... I am at, or near, my wits end...any ideas, even the most absurd, will be gratefully entertained.. All the Best, BrianS |

turn it right side up again. That was a long time ago. Sometimes just getting it sideways would do the trick. It's not the drive head it was the grease they use in the center of the drive platter that would stick. The drive wouldn't start spinning after the grease would get old and sticky...hence "stiction". You can move a computer while the drive is on but a sharp bump will cause the heads to scrape the surface of the platter. That's why we shut down properly and park the heads before we move a machine.

Just <shift+command+click> to your heart's content, and when you finish reading the article and close your current window, there are all the new pages waiting for you.

Re: SOE - Re: [Advice] Best slide show with sound?
Brent Pennington
To whoever was looking for a way to make a slide show with sound (I lost track
through all the replies), why not use iMovie? You can import jpeg images and set how long they appear on the screen and add music. Then export it to quicktime, and all you have to do is play the movie and the images will display for as long as you set them to and then move on. Hope this helps. Merry Christmas Brent |

Re: OE vs. Eudora Pro

FWIW, I use Eudora 4.2.2, and like it very much (but have nothingMe too :-) Meaning: I won't get drawn into this one, but my feeling is that it boils down to security problems (unless all the enriched text/html is disabled, in Outlook X) versus inevitable forced reboots (if Eudora Pro is left on in the background)... However, if one uses the freebie, Eudora Lite 3.1.3, it will check your mail and rifle everything into nice neat folders, all day and night without so much as a peep. Small footprint, no security problems.There are always advantages and disadvantages to any choice. All the best, BrianS |

iCab Situation / Puzzling
BrianS
Hello All,
Is there an iCab user out there who can help me sort something out? I use iCab (the 68k version) on my LC475. Great browser, BUT, I don't see anything resembling "Open This Link in New Window". Some websites are so poorly-designed, that a separate window is a 'must'. I tried Option-click on the links in question, but that downloads the file associated with the link, all well and good, however the download is an ASP application, apparently, and trying to open it brings the old -192 Error (PPC on a 68k, no-no). I abhor the thought of going back to Navigator, any suggestions? TIA All the Best, BrianS |
