New version of Mellel

2004-04-08 Thread Peter Hinchliffe
A couple of meetings ago I presented a demo of the Arabic word processor Mellel. I expressed the opinion that although it was showing lots of promise it was not ready for prime time because it could not handle Word files. Well, all that has changed. Mellel 1.7.5 can now read and write Word

Housekeeping for Macs

Hi All My G4, running OS9.2 is becoming VERY SLOW I'd like to know what is best to do to in the way of 'housekeeping'. I regularly zap the P Ram (and hold down for at least 4 pings) and I also rearrange the Desktop. What else can I do? How do I delete cookies? And yes I am using huge photo files

http://halfkeyboard.com/tactilepro/index.php Looks like they based it on the Extended Keyboard II... very cool! Though the first model was better I thought. It still lacks some features I wish had never disappeared - just give me a caps lock key that actually locks, and bumps on my D and K

I have a G3 PowerBook 400, OS 10.2.8. Is it possible to attach to an email, something saved in iTunes? I've been using QuickVoice. It lets me use my laptop as if it is a digital dictaphone, and I can send the file as a sound attachment to an email. The file grows by about 1mb per minute, and

Then again, I consider 1024x768 to be the bare minimum (on a 19 monitor, anything less looks awful). Hmm. I just finished doing some work for someone who had this nice big plasma screen (around 1m diagonal?) hooked up to his PC, but he was running it in 800x600... made me want to scream. Ryan

BUT better still is you can just drag the MP3 file from within iTunes and drop it on to the desktop or what ever media you want it on (unless of course it's currently been stored in an iPods hidden music folder) Or if you want to easily see where iTunes is actually keeping it, select the
