Hi,
Eventually, I'll probably put on something like some see through braille 
labels on the function keys so I can find them easier.

Hi Cara,
With me I am so used to full sized keyboards when I am on my laptop I 
have troubles locating keys like specific function keys, page up and 
down, etc. They all move, and on my notebook they are all crunched 
together in such a way my fingers often touch not one but two keys or so.
The other side reason is I am a Window Eyes user. Window Eyes heavily 
relies on the numberpad for use. If you don't have one the screen reader 
is next to impossible to use unless you switch to the laptop layout, and 
there layout is, well, confusing. Jaws's laptop layout is much more 
easier to use.

Hi,
If your notebook soundcard supports them you can turn them on via the 
button on your system tray. I use Windows+b to jump to the system tray, 
arrow to sound effects, and after right clicking on the button, I go to 
properties and environment is the first page of the dialog.
I can set the level of echo or mute the speakers, etc...

Hi Shaun,
Laptops are nice and portible, but I really don't like the keyboards on 
them. Especially, for games. just last night I was on the road when I 
decided to play Lonewolf. Since there is no gaps on my keyboard between 
the f4 and f5 keys, every time I wanted to open the torpedo doors, fire, 
raise or lower the scope I kept hitting the wrong function key. It drove 
me half mad. The only way I really get productive on laptops is by 
plugging in an external full sized keyboard.Which reduces some of the 
portability.
Just the other day I was in Sam's club, and saw a laptop like mine, 
except it had a built in full sized keyboard. Now, that truly bites!

Hi Shaun,
Oh, I believe Windows XP will be around for a good while yet. It was 
based on Windows NT technology, has the top of the line multimedia 
features, and since service pack 2 has been very reliable and stable. 
Just because Vista is the new kid on the block now doesn't mean 
businesses, colleges, you name it is going to move away from XP very 
soon. Microsoft is planning on an updated release of XP soon anyway with 
service pack 3 integrated as well as a sp3 upgrade for existing XP users.

win 2k and me came out at the same time.
vista will be out but xp will still be used to sp3 and maybe sp4.
This means that for a majority of us we will have nothing to fear for a good 
number of years, perhaps 10 or 20 or so maybe not that much but a good number

Re: [Audyssey] Toshebas and gaming was Judgement Day

2006-12-20 Thread Cara Quinn
   Everett, well that seems to be an issue with a lot of others here as 
well, which I'll clear up soon.  A new copy of the manual with working 
links may already be written, but I need to get in touch with the person 
who did it so it may take me a few days.  Once I locate them, I'll post the 
manual on my ftp site, and that way the sounds will be a whole lot easier 
to figure out.

You should have as much functionality as anyone else.  The only diff 
between the shareware Quake and the standard release is that the standard 
release has more maps.

   As it is now, you can visit:

http://tbrn.net/modgirl

   and download either one of the two AQ installs from the AQ folder.

   Once you have it installed, you can go into your Audio Quake folder, and 
then into your id1 folder, and finally into your sounds folder, and there 
you will find several folders containing sounds which you can play.  their 
names should be pretty self explanatory so yu can get acquainted with some 
of the sounds for now.

   After that, see my last post, about connecting to a server running JQ 
unless you'd like to download the latest release which is on the same ftp 
site, and install it yourself.  It's up to you...

   Anyway, hope this helps, and will let the list know when I've posted the 
new manual...

Smiles,

Cara

   Everett, well that seems to be an issue with a lot of others here as
 well, which I'll clear up soon.  A new copy of the manual with working
 links may already be written, but I need to get in touch with the person
 who did it so it may take me a few days.  Once I locate them, I'll post 
 the
 manual on my ftp site, and that way the sounds will be a whole lot easier
 to figure out.

 You should have as much functionality as anyone else.  The only diff
 between the shareware Quake and the standard release is that the standard
 release has more maps.

   As it is now, you can visit:

 http://tbrn.net/modgirl

   and download either one of the two AQ installs from the AQ folder.

   Once you have it installed, you can go into your Audio Quake folder, and
 then into your id1 folder, and finally into your sounds folder, and there
 you will find several folders containing sounds which you can play.  their
 names should be pretty self explanatory so yu can get acquainted with some
 of the sounds for now.

   After that, see my last post, about connecting to a server running JQ
 unless you'd like to download the latest release which is on the same ftp
 site, and install it yourself.  It's up to you...

   Anyway, hope this helps, and will let the list know when I've posted the
 new manual...

 Smiles,

 Cara

told them I'd type it up on a computer, or I wouldn't take the test. I 
got the computer. Grin.

Re: [Audyssey] Toshebas and gaming was Judgement Day

2006-12-19 Thread shaun everiss
well for the record my laptop has a 40gb drive, a half working cdrw drive, and 
512mb ram.
Later on I added the headphones, mics, speakers, a 40gb hard drive and another 
external 320gb drive.
I also added a dvd 2 layer writer which is now the main cd and dvd drive.
My system is probably worth around 5000 with all the accesseries modules i 
grabbed for it.
I also got a joystick I have never used and a mouse.
My most receant additions were a 4 port usb module and a 7 port usb hub for non 
travel use with nice abilities.
Also a digital recorder module.
next year, i plan to upgrade all my screen readers so vista and other things 
can be supported.
After that I won't be moving, except with free software upgrades and maybe 
shared upgrades to.
My dream would be a laptop, high p4 intel m700 or an amd chipset because amd 
chips are really fast, 2gb ram, maybe an 80gb drive, an external sound card and 
midi interface.
Modem, ethanet, infrared, and wireless maybe firewire support.
I have enough hubs but to have heaps of ports is always nice, a 4gb or so flash 
card and a few more bits and bobs.

Hm have you guys checked out
www.rainrecording.com
That's my next laptop right there, though I'd sure love to pet one and see 
if it likes me before I buy it. Still, being an amature audio mouse, that 
thing looks super hot! ... oh yeah, something about games... cara, which 
file would I download if I just wanted to get started? The last time I tried 
quake it was just silence with a bunch of sounds that really didn't make 
sense. Do you think that's cuz I  downloaded the demo which has less 
functionality or ...?
Take care! Love this list!

low cost upgrade to Windows Vista.
Funny thing is my laptop is better than my desktop.

Re: [Audyssey] Toshebas and gaming was Judgement Day

2006-12-19 Thread Thomas Ward
Hi Damien,
No, desktop systems are still quite less than most laptops. Most laptops 
cost twice as much as a desktop with equal features.
I've hand built my own desktops in the past with the top-of-the-line 
everything for the price of some lower end notebooks. Although, that has 
been a while, and laptops and desktops have dropped in price since then.

x-sight interactive wrote:
 lol that's pretty weird. why, do desktops seem to cost more then? hmm. i
 know with desktops you can get 500gb hard drive, 1gb or maybe even 2gb ram,
 3ghz processors, etc, etc ...

Hi,
Mine is my baby  as well. Just today while I was away I took mine with 
me to work on Montezuma's Revenge and began rebuilding level 1 which 
will be completely different fromversion  Alpha 1. Well, same general 
layout, but more in keeping with the original design James North had for 
the temple layout.

2006-12-19 Thread Thomas Ward
Hi,
Yeah, that is right, and in addition to size most laptops have specially 
designed parts for that specific laptop. Take the motherboards. They are 
especially designed for that laptop case, and that style alone.
Some parts like hard drives are pretty generic, and are a little more 
than desktop versions, but most everything else like the 15 inch wide 
screen display I needed to replace on mine cost me an arm and a leg. I 
could have had a 19 inch flat screen display for my desktop for much less.

Raul A. Gallegos wrote:
 You mean, why do laptops cost more then?

 Because their components are smaller and you pay for convenience.

Hi Damien,
You misunderstood what I meant. I hand built my desktop back in 2002, 
and it was pretty good for back then, but is lower end for now days. My 
laptop was made in 2005, and is in keeping with most of the newer 
laptops and desktops out there. Not has high-quality as one I could buy 
today, but definately newer and better than my older desktop.
I haven't gotten around to buying a new motherboard, bigger hard drive, 
etc to upgrade my desktop to something much newer.

x-sight interactive wrote:
 oh so laptops cost more than desktops? gee, just that tom said that his
 desktop's not as good as his laptop, which gave me the impression that a
 desktop cost more than a laptop.

Re: [Audyssey] Toshebas and gaming was Judgement Day

2006-12-19 Thread Thomas Ward
Hi,
yeah, you could do that. The nice thing I have found with building your 
own desktop for say $600 is you can uupgrade what you want when you 
want. Like for example most of the gear on my desktop has been updated 
now and then. The only thing that is lagging behind is the processor 
speed. I can buy just a motherboard, processor, and a big stick of mem, 
like top of the line, for $600, and have a super machine.
I have like a 100 GB drive. I don't need anything larger. All I need is 
speed and mem.
Raul A. Gallegos wrote:
 Not at all. I can easily put together a desktop machine for under $600, 
 but if I wanted a laptop with the same specs, it would cost me over 
 $1000.
