[LIB] Libretto L3
Date: Wed, 13 Mar 2002 22:50:22 -0800 From: "Renita Herrmann" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Libretto L3 I didn't get the L3 yet; I take it he's bringing them back from Japan and wasn't home yet. Will let you know...yes, it's a she. I missed my 100 (cracked screen from rolling my car 3x) that I bought 3 more on Ebay to take its place, then bought an L3 just to be sure. I even bought a double USB port card and a SmartMedia card reader for my camera. My 100 has travelled around the world with me, in a Timberland pouch. The little latches were eaten off by my bird a few years ago, and my son cracked the case a few weeks ago, just cosmetic stuff. But open the batteries? Sacre bleu! This Dell is driving me nuts. The task/start bar is frozen. It takes 10-15 minutes to figure out what it's supposed to be doing. It's a Pentium 4 but it's like driving a Porsche on the Autobahn in first gear. Will let you know about the L3 (am going boarding for a few days and can't get it till I come back).

Windows CE, PocketPC, PalmOS and so on were designed knowing that the user can only have 1 inputs enabling click for select (as well as double click, triple click and so on) and in some cases drag for dragging. Notice you can't right-click or mouse-over on such operating systems. Windows for 'real' PCs was designed to have at least 4 inputs being the independant mouse move (which triggers mouseovers and the like), the left click for select (as well as the double/triple click), the right click for context and the left drag for dragging. Some programs also use the right drag, the 2 button click and the 2 button drag. It gets even more complicated for Linux. Its more a case of what the OS was designed to use ... it'd probably be easier on a mac which was designed with only 1 mouse button where the only thing you'd miss is the independant mouse move (you'll still have your single button clicks and could emulate drags). - Raymond --- /~\ | | "Does fuzzy logic tickle?"| | ___ | "My HDD has no reverse.

It shows all the information there. 100 times more useful than anyhting you can find in Win98. Win98 also suffers from the 64 KB limit on system GDI resource and USER resource (64KB for GDI and 64KB for USER in Win98. Win95 only have 64KB total for both USER and GDI). A buggy software can easily cause these resource to leak and when all the 64KB are used up, system crashed without warning. WinNT/2000 does not have these limitations. As a result, there is no way in NT/2000 to check how much GDI and USER resource is used or how much is free. ** http://libretto.basiclink.com - Libretto mailing list http://libretto.basiclink.com/archive - Archives http://www.picante.com/~gtaylor/portable/faq.html - FAQ ---TO UNSUBSCRIBE--- Reply to any of the list messages.

I've used that a lot to disable all the many applications that insist on setting themselves to load at boot. You end up with dozens of little icons in the system tray on the right end of the status bar that suck the life out of the system resources. Though you're no doubt talking about "services" that W2000 installs that aren't needed, right? If W2000 has something similar to MSCONFIG, I wonder if those services would be in there, and easily disabled. Also, there must be a place in W2000 where the system resources are displayed immediately following a boot to the desktop. IN W98, you can right click My Computer, and go to the Performance tab. With W98 on the L70, I like to keep EVERYTHING from being booted except explorer, systray, and the sound driver. Anything above 90% system resources after full boot is great. I usually run at 95%. Would think it would be a similar process getting W2000 to run on a L100.

Re: PicaView - solution/recommendation [LIB]
Date: Wed, 13 Mar 2002 19:57:21 + From: "Matthew Hanson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: PicaView - solution/recommendation [LIB] I can see where if you're only processing a couple of graphic images, that it's a certainly lot quicker to use a little app like PicaView that loads quick, and/or works automatically from right-click. But I've had Photoshop v4.0 installed on my 50CT for a couple years, and find that actually loads faster on the L50 w/32MB RAM than v6.0 on a P350 w/120MB! At least with the configurations of each as they are. And once loaded, does most work on Lib/web sized grahics pretty darned quickly. There is so much you can do with Photoshop to enhance graphics beyond adjusting brightness & contrast, hue, sharpness, size, canvas size, resolution, file type, which are some of the basic functions I use on a regular basis. Then there's the batch file capability that lets you rotate a whole folder full of files automatically, as well as set a gamut of processes automatically. It's also really nice to have a history undo feature when doing a lot of touching up, and layers to let you experiment with adding things without altering the base layer. My point again being that a bigger app like this may take a few seconds longer than most to load, but when loaded, works fairly quickly and efficiently on modest sized graphics with far more graphics tools at your disposal if your inclined than smaller ones. At least for people who want to do a bit more touch up work. Even Paintshop Pro does a nice job. Though I admit the little apps are convenient for many processes though. When I was maintaining a website, I used to use GifCon a lot. A really nice, quick little piece of software to make a designated color transparent to make the backgound show through.

The entire OS is designed to do away with concepts such as right-clicking and other option clicks. The drag option vs. a click is usually resolved on systems by either using a double click, or detecting a click vs. a hold. My old synaptics touchpad on my previous laptop had a "bounce" option to handle drag actions, but this too involves something more complex than a simple "dumb" stylus control. The short and simple answer is that your PDA is designed to only need a single input mode, while the desktop version of Windows is not.

I just shutdown my L100 @ 266MHx IBM 20Gb Travelstar drive. With no other programs running, it took 24 seconds from shutdown click, to led off. Booting after OS menu to network login and no HD activity took 3mins50sec although I could have logged in after 2mins35sec >From that login to desktop with no HD activity it takes 1min52sec There is nothing in the startup and very little installed either, only partition magic, IE & OE, InnoculateIT (now no longer supported) and various service packs and hotfixes.

I have the general feeling of security knowing that I can get my work done without leaking memory like 98 did (long story, mostly linked to an HDD upgrade that wasn't done properly.) This is on a 110, mind you, but it's not like a slower CPU means that you're going to be any less stable, just not as powerful as the 110. Anyway, I futzed around quite a bit with Partition Magic to set aside completely unpartitioned space at around the 8GB limit. However, Win2000 refuses to properly hibernate. I've also been having the infamous CMOS battery error all the time, even after leaving the Libby running for a full week (upside down to prevent meltdown, at that!) Standby mode works flawlessly, but hibernation does not. Win2000 reports a proper hibernation, and then on the next powerup, it goes through a standard boot cycle instead. Is this related to my clock battery problem?

Last time I booted my L100 is months ago. Try that in your Win98. I don't use hibernation that often as I see in standby mode, L100 does not consum any more power than shutdown or hibernate. It is true win2000 is a resource hog compared to win98. But if you know how to trim it down it is still quite responsive. However the same can not be said to WinXP. I will take Win2000's stability over anything Win9x offers. ** http://libretto.basiclink.com - Libretto mailing list http://libretto.basiclink.com/archive - Archives http://www.picante.com/~gtaylor/portable/faq.html - FAQ ---TO UNSUBSCRIBE--- Reply to any of the list messages.

In my experience with various operating systems on various laptops (486's to PIII's, Win95 to Win2k) WinME would probably have to be the LEAST stable, EVEN IF THE LAPTOP COMES PRE-LOADED WITH IT!. The MOST stable would be Win2k then NT (the other way round for older laptops with poor driver support or low specs). Then Win98SE, Win95OSR2, Win98(FE), Win98A then WinME right down the bottom. Of course there's always Linux ;-) - Raymond --- /~\ | | "Does fuzzy logic tickle?"| | ___ | "My HDD has no reverse.

My "comparison" isn't a straight one, however - L110 with 64MB memory:- -- Win'98 on 4.3GB HDD - from memory (timed it once but can't find the original post) - something like 2 minutes and a few odd seconds (2:06 rings a bell) -- Win'2K on 30GB HDD - 90 seconds Win'2K shuts down a hell of a lot faster than '98 (and more reliably, too). > The OS itself is quite unresponsive, and its only being used for email and > some web browsing at the moment. > > Win98 on the other hand is very quick in comparision.

I will be removing Win2000 and using Win98 for myself. It is setup to hibernate from Win2000 every time the power button is pressed, and this is relatively quick, however a full reboot takes a long time, a very long time. The OS itself is quite unresponsive, and its only being used for email and some web browsing at the moment. Win98 on the other hand is very quick in comparision. Another point is that for some reason the sound doesnt work properly under Win2000, although this seems to just be my problem. a 100 (not a 110) > -- get a bigger HDD too > -- overclock your 100 > > If you can't get the first, and you rule out the other two, then my best > guess would be that you will probably find your system as it stands now will > struggle with Win'2K. Its slow. Its slow with the machine overclocked to 266MHz. I take it that it is impossible to upgrade the memory past 64Mb ? Does the BIOS support more than 64Mb ? What about piggybacking more chips on top of the expansion ones, as Win2000 really could do with 128Mb.

Re: PicaView - solution/recommendation [LIB]
Date: Wed, 13 Mar 2002 15:26:08 +0700 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: PicaView - solution/recommendation [LIB] > Good program. Recommended along with 2.41 - 2.43 of ACDSee. Just to clarify! I'm recommending PicaView 1.31 as being: 1) super-convenient (view/rotate from Win.Explorer "File"/right-click menu) 2) a 943KB download (and a correspondingly "minimal" installation) 3) freeware (let me know if you lost your copy of the relevant magazine...) --- The current version - PicaView 2.0 - is, IMHO, nowhere near as convenient in day-to-day use for the specific tasks discussed (ie quick viewing and lossless rotation of .JPGs) as the 1.3x versions. PicaView 2.0 has also bloated to a whopping 5.19Mb download - this seems to be because PicaView has been absorbed into a much larger program, and just to get what is now "sawn-off" functionality, you have to download and install several megabytes of stuff you are then denied access to. ACDSee 2.41 - 2.43 is, AFAIK (it's no longer on the ACDsee website - maybe it's called ACDSee Classic now) something completely different - it's a program you have to run, not an add-on Windows Explorer utility; the latest version is 4.0, in various multi-MB guises. AFAIK, of all the alternatives mentioned above, PicaView 1.30/1.31 is the only freeware. ** http://libretto.basiclink.com - Libretto mailing list http://libretto.basiclink.com/archive - Archives http://www.picante.com/~gtaylor/portable/faq.html - FAQ ---TO UNSUBSCRIBE--- Reply to any of the list messages.

Maybe it was back to when I was fixing a friend's desktop that had a huge collection of viruses on it.

I think it was Neil who suggested I see if the manufacturer had a HDD diagnostic utility. Found that and ran it but it couldn't see the drive either. I wondered if one or all of the viruses had somehow caused mechanical failure, or my deleting partitions or reformatting or whatever it was... though most people said that was impossible. But somehow that drive went south AFTER it booted and was in the process of working fine. Now if you ask, >Umm ... how can you damage the HDD >DATA< using pmagic? ...
