The fact that on Sundays CO's are more participants from Europeans than on Saturday is for me inexplicable. I think that Friday would in my humble opinion a better day for the conference than Sunday(espcially for the Europeans), but you will have maybe less participants from USA and Canada. -Franz…
Dear Asha, >> The problem is, we are not getting many Europeans(maybe one or two) attending them
#Saturday Conferencs
Message #214859
Dear Asha, due to the time of the last conference it was 09.00 pm it would be in Germany next day(monday!!) about 04.00 am I was not able to visit this conference. Normally I would suggest to move the conference to Saturday, because the most persons here in Europe dont…
Dear Scott, I would like to buy TV Sports Baskeball and I would pay more than $ 10.00. Lets say $ 15.00 plus ship&handing. I am also interested in Speedball 2. -Franz flying from Aying(Germany) with A1200`030 & Autopilot
Pardon me for jumping in. Nice GUI (workbench), multitasking, cheap software (compared to MAC), file names can be longer than 8 chars since the beginning(1984), needs less memory (compared to Windows). With 6 megs ram I have no problems to run a word processing software, data base, spreadsheet software, fax…

Bob, a lot of (old) modems connect to IBM computers have 9-pin plugs. As the amiga needs a 25-pin plug, he will need probably an 9 to 25 pin adapter or a new cable. BTW what is cheaper, the cable or the adapter. -Franz. flying from Aying(Germany) with Amiga 1200`030…
Hello Bob, Welcome as a new Amiga owner, currently more user change to another machine because Commodore is going smash. You can use the modem on your amiga without any problems (normally), but you will need probably another cable for the connection from the modem to the amiga. If your…

Malcom, I am working since yesterday with a new photocopying machine. >> heavy duty cycle I am not really happy with this machine, because it produces a lot of heat. I copied in 2.5 hours about 1200 DINA 4 pages. It is not bad from the technical side, but I…

Message #167541
Hallo Malcolm, I am sure that QMS laser printer are not bad, but what did they cost ? OK, photocopying is definitely the cheapest way from 100 up to 1000 pages. Above, "normal" printing in a printing office is the cheapest way. How many "single" pages do you print in…

Message #167539
Out of your budget. 🙂 I would say the budget is no problem, the problem to persude my chief, which "dislikes" computers. I can write a lot of stories about Women and Computers and their problems. Hmmmmm, my chief is my mom. -Franz flying from Aying(Germany) with Amiga 1200`030 &…
Thanks for you answer Mike. I think that the HP 4MP or the HP 4M Plus would be the best two printer for doing my job. If I would buy the HP 4 MP I need an extra photocopier. Is 6 MB ram enough for 600*600dpi DINA full page ?…
Thanks for the information Dale. Here in Germany the HP 4 Plus costs $1900, I dont know the price of the HP 4M Plus. I think that I will buy the PostScript version, because of the print speed. The HP 4 costs $1400, but has no PostScript. I would like…

Hallo Kevin, Did you also tried TextPlus 3.0? It is small and fast, but can not mix text with graphics and you can only use printer fonts. (e.g. Pica, Elite etc.) >> I've looked at most the "text editors" in the library but they all seem >> to be for…
