Re: [ql-users] How many repeats this time?
I use thunderbird and have received each mail exactly once. Its dead easy to migrate all your outlook mail and address books etc to it. similar interface to outlook - but my wife finds it easier to use, and it handles exotic languages better. much of her mail is mixed hebrew and english. No problem. I don't know why anyone sticks with outlook. I think my copy of msoffice must be broken. The piccies in the calendar randomly display in weird colours (eg black QL turns magenta as I scroll down). It works fine in openoffice though.

(I wouldn't call it the best mailer of course... but compared to OE it is light years ahead :-) Ive been studying Thunderbird (what a daft name!) these past few weeks, but am not ready to go online with it yet. It is more advanced than Lookout in many respects, but it has a few annoying niggles too, so Im not quite ready to deploy. But one man's niggles are another's features, so dont let that stop you from checking this program out, all you (other) Lookout users! Youll feel right at home with it.

[ql-users] Minerva Dual Screen Mode
I have found that a few of the games written for the QL will only work on Minerva if it is started in dual screen mode. However, one thing which I had forgotten about, but which causes problems is that Minerva does not seem to run the boot sector on hard disk (via QubIDE) if you start it in dual screen mode. This is not a problem for a lot of people, however it is for me, as the first thing my boot program does is to load the SuperHermes keyboard driver The only way around this is to amend the boot file on the games disk so that it loads the SuperHermes keyboard driver as well Does anyone (Tony??) know why Minerva does not load the win1_boot file in dual screen mode ? Wonder if it is the same with ROM1_boot (ie on ROMDisQ)?? -- Rich Mellor RWAP Services 26 Oak Road, Shelfield, Walsall, West Midlands WS4 1RQ http://www.rwapservices.co.uk/ ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm

You have been warned! You are nearer the truth than you think. When I met the Quanta committee in February I suggested to them that they should have photos of all the new committee in the first issue of the Quanta Magazine after the AGM. This was not carried out. I did not tell the committee the full idea, which was to headline the page containing the photos Page 3 Pinups. At the bottom of the page I would have added: And if you don't like our pinups, then just be grateful that there are not 12 members on the committee otherwise we might have produced the Quanta calendar Just image the committee members posing Women's Institute style with just a little bit of QL hardware to obscure the ... er...um...natural hardware.

RE: [ql-users] QL Calendar
Heh, Ta for that! Nice timing too, because today I found something that I thought was QL dongle related and lo and behold you've got one pictured for Dec 05 - it's the bottom twin-ROM one. Sadly no ROMs or case present but if it's a real 1st edition type 'oops we can't fit all the code internally' dongle I'll be well chuffed. It was found near a box of chips that contained EEPROMs and a WD1770 chip so if there's early code to be had it may well be in that box. The label on the board says 'QLF2 8000 B45A' cheers! -- Adrian/Witchy Creator/Curator of Binary Dinosaurs, quite probably the UK's biggest private home computer collection. www.binarydinosaurs.co.uk - the online museum www.aaghverts.co.uk - *the* site for letting you moan about adverts! www.snakebiteandblack.co.uk - former gothic shenanigans :( ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm

Re: [ql-users] How many repeats this time?
I've got both those buttons! Buttons! 0.4.7 https://update.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?application=thunderbirdid=106vid=122 By chuonthis https://update.mozilla.org/extensions/authorprofiles.php?application=thunderbirdid=67 Adds buttons to the Thunderbird toolbars such as Next! and Previous! buttons for navigating through all messages instead of just unread ones. One of the advantages of Thunderbird is that there are dozens of extensions available. You can customise it to have the features you want, instead of being lumbered with them whether you want them or not. other features I like are the built in spam filtering. Also, even when outlook appears to be configured for other alphabets, the use of those characters in the titles and sent fields, results in hieroglyphics in the inbox view. Not so Thunderbird which seems to handle it all fine. Jeremy Bill Waugh wrote: Jeremy Taffel wrote: I use thunderbird and have received each mail exactly once.
