Actually, you're in the right place. I don't know what multi scan is, so I leave it off, but now your phone is looking for a code. Just show it a bar code and you should be off and running. On Nov 12, 2013, at 6:56 PM, Patti Johnson pattigj1...@gmail.com wrote: No, it's red Laser, it talks

It orients. If the phone is on its back, you get the face-up level. If you then flip it so it is vertical, you get the vertical level, and if you put it in landscape orientation you get the horizontal level. On Nov 12, 2013, at 11:40 PM, Kay Malmquist kay.malmqu...@gmail.com wrote: With the

Say I have chapter 1.mp3, chapter 2.mp3, and chapter 3.mp3. VDR will use these file names as the chapter names, so call the files something useful and be sure they are sorted in the correct order. Now, zip them up, not in their own folder but so that unzipping would reveal the files themselves.

Red Laser will work with wifi or cellular. It needs an internet connection, so the only advantage to an iPhone here is that you can do lookups in places you don't have wifi, like a store. To get an app you already bought, just go to App Store, Updates, Purchased Apps. Here you will see, and

It will run just fine. The question is: bootcamp or a virtual machine? VMs are nice because they can runs long side OS10, meaning you can literally switch to Windows like switching to any other application on the Mac. You also don't need to reboot just to get Windows, you can start it or shut
