Re: [PEDA] Re[2]: Altium KB and Mozilla
Hi Tony, Mozilla 1.5 still takes me to the protel website by just typing protel, although it only displays protel in the location bar.

Now if we could just get BTS webpage authors to quit using stupid stuff on the webpages (ActiveX BTS controls, flash, shockwave, cookies where unnecessary, etc.). Still using BTS Outlook Express, because I haven't found a better e-mail client yet (no, BTS Mozilla/Netscape e-mail doesn't cut it).

Re: [PEDA] Re[2]: Altium KB and Mozilla
Ctrl+Enter is the key combination in IE to surround what you've typed in the address bar with http://www.; and .com. This key combination also works in Mozilla Firebird 0.6.1. Alt+Enter shows the properties dialog for the currently selected Windows object.

On Tue, 30 Dec 2003 11:44:09 -0500, Bagotronix Tech Support wrote: Of course, the problem for commercial software (such as Protel) is that if it evolves to point of being bug-free, there is very little incentive to upgrade, and the business model dries up. That's when you put your software engineers to work writing converters for all your competitor's databases and going after market share! ;-) You can be a *real* marketing force when armed with stable, bug-free software, discount pricing specials for users of competitors tools and the converters to make the switch as painless as possible. Protel actually converted me from Orcad/Tango because they could import my existing schematic and PCB designs, plus I was a disgruntled Orcad user and they offered me a relatively painless and inexpensive way to switch. So what do I use for backup software? A removable hard drive mapped as a network drive, and the XCOPY command. Advantages: it's way faster, cheaper, and more reliable than tape, it's free, and files are stored in non-encrypted, non-compacted FAT32 form that can be easily read by Win9X or later and Linux. Disadvantages: manual intervention required to match partitions on network drives to partitions on the removable hard drive, not good for incremental backups, only complete backups. Wow, this is one area I've searched the world for also. I use Novastor's Novaback software with a removable hard drive now for my workgroup network. It works reasonably well with scheduled backups (full and incremental) for my small (6) workstation network. I also have recently tried Dantz Retrospect backup software. It's extremely capable and reasonably inexpensive (about $85), but it's not nearly as easy to configure and use as Novaback. Typical enterprise software scaled down to the workgroup/desktop level. Unfortunately, I think you need to be some sort of IT wonk to setup and use it. Yes, the world needs a good, reliable and inexpensive backup software package. I honestly think this is why so many people never backup -- if it's not an automated process, reliable and easy to setup no one will bother. Haven't tried Eudora since 1998. Kinda hard to get excited about an e-mail client that I have to pay for, when there exist free ones. If I could be assured that Eudora would do what I want and be non-buggy, I might spring $29 for it. Otherwise, no. FWIW, I have been using Pocomail for over 3 years now and have never had it eat an email on me. I do know others have reported it, but I've not personally seen it on any of my systems or any of my friends that also use it. I would say I get a heavy amount of email, probably 300/day or so on average so I'm working with pretty large mailboxes most of the time. I used Pegasus mail before that and gave up when the author said he was done supporting it. Of course about a year after I switched to Pocomail, he decided to update it and continue development. Go figure. I don't think there is a single email client that can satisfy everyone, seems everyone has different expectations. Anyway, Happy New Year to you too Ivan and everyone else on the list.

[PEDA] OT- email clients
Here is a nice e-mail client worth trying if you have not seen it yet: http://www.ritlabs.com/en/products/thebat/ See also: http://www.grisoft.com They have an AVG anti-virus plugin that works very well with it. The new version also supports a SPAM plugin. I have been looking around and evaluating a few. The promising technology seems to be Bayesian filtering. I'm looking for one which works as a native plugin with TheBat. Did see one from a .ru URL. But not settled on one yet. To bring this somewhat back on topic, TheBat! does have a nice feature which allows you to view threads (newsgroup style), which is useful sometimes to see exchanges here on the PEDA... ---Phil TK You know, they all suck for one reason or another.
