Please call him direct with offers or questions… CDTV with wireless controller and eleven CD's including Gifs Galore, Grolier Electronic Encyclopedia, Aminet, The Ultimate Mod Collection, STORM-III (Adult x and r rated), Lemmings, a couple others. $500 Roland…
..And dinosaurs still roamed the Earth… 🙂 — Ed (In Nawth NH) — [via AP!]
Ok. Ok. (Wheeeez…) Yup, you young whippersnappers… (Wheeez…) Back in 1964-67, when I was stationed in Germany, the Mark was 4 to the ('Scuse me, Wheeeeeeeez…) Dollar. So there. Oh, Oh, the battery warning on my pacemaker just went off! (Wheez…) Wonder where that dang nurse went to with my…
Hi, C. Davey — I tried out the demo of OnTheBall from the libs here — liked it, but always have a hard time with on-line documentation — so I didn't get it set up exactly as I wanted, and never got around to sending off for the registered version…
Hi, C.Davey — Looking at the latest issue of Amazing Computing, I see an ad from Oregon Research listing OTB as one of their products now. Phone (503) 620-4919, or CIS 71333,2655… It is a clever little critter, isn't it? — Ed (In Nawth NH) — [via AP!]
Hi, Mark — I have someone interested in your A-500. She's willing to pay $125, or your asking price if you'll pick up full insurance, and S&H to New Hampshire. — Ed (In Nawth NH) — [via AP!]
Hi, George — Please report back. Not only might it be helpful to others, the curiosity level gets raised by such events! — Ed (In Nawth NH) — [via AP!]
Hi, Tom — Dunno if this helps, but in Vol 1, #1 AC's TECH mag was an article "Adapting Mattel's Power Glove to the Amiga" — the Glove is referred to as a Nintendo Power Glove several times in the article. The interface is through one of the mouseports, not…
Hi, Scott — I'd take SimEarth and Gods… ("…my shrink sez I gotta do something about this inferiority complex I got…") — Ed (In Nawth NH) — [via AP!]
Hi, Franz — Many thanks ("veilen danke"?) for the tip on how to edit cells in TC, and for your thoughts on graphing with this program. I am going to continue to play with it a bit more, so you may find me asking you more questions. I am still…
Hi, Franz — Many thanks for your comments on TurboCalc. The demo version I downloaded from here has about a dozen demo graphs, databases, and spreadsheet layouts, all helping me to see how it looks, and it looks very nice, on the screen, anyway. Good to know that printouts are…
#TurboCalc User?
Message #163674
I've been trying out TurboCalc Demo, recently uploaded here. I'm interested in finding users of the non-demo version to ask a few questions about such things as problems, bugs, and the like. I've been using SuperPlan (SP) for years, liking some features and hating others. TurboCalc (TC) seems to have…
Hi, GE — Resend your question to GVP but change the message title to a new one. They apparently don't pick up replies to their replies, I recall them saying more than once… — Ed (In Nawth NH) — [via AP!]
Hi, Ray — Send Sim City and Wing Commander to me USPS-2 day: Dr. Ed Martin, P O Box 68, Littleton, NH, 03561. My check for $28 will be in Saturday's outgoing USPS to ya. Good doing business with you. Come visit northern NH when you want a break from…
#Games sale
Message #157142
Hi, Ray — If you still have them, I'd purchase Wing Commander @ $15 and Sim City @ $10. Ship cheapest way: address will be in my reply to your reply to this message. — Ed (In Nawth NH) — [via AP!]
#MachIV and Beyond???
Message #154162
Hi, Andrew — I just upgraded to MachV from IV; cost you all of $2. Write to Brian Moats, Polyglot Software, at his Boise, Idaho address. No demo available as best I can figure out. — Ed (In Nawth NH) — [via AP!]
Notebook
Message #80899
Hi, Ben — What is the latest version of Notebook? Thanks. — Ed — (In Nawth NH) [ via AP! ]
Hi, Douglas — Whenever I experience the "undeletable drawer" syndrome, it's always because there's a reference to it somewhere else — for instance, in an assign statement in S:user-startup. Check around in your boot partition for some mention of that drawer… — Ed — (In Nawth NH) [ via AP!…
Hi, Trent — (Ayuh, I'm heah, too!) If Hilary refers to Blitz-A-Disk when he says BAD ('twould make sense), a disk optomizer…. I believe the maker of this particular tool left us high and dry about a year or two ago. I have a copy and find it won't work…
Hi, Tony — Sounds like GVP's Phone Pak. It's also a FAXer. You might want to ask GVP about features — they have people on-line over in the Amiga Venders forum… — Ed — (In Nawth NH) [ via AP! ]
Hi, Forrest — I think you have correctly narrowed the problem to the driver, although without a similar setup here I can't test it out. The clincher is your substitution test with the NX2410 getting the desired output, I think. If it were me, I'd ask around here for better…
Hi, Forrest — I printed out a simple line graph on my A1200 > B&W Panasonic 24 pin at work, and using same data, on my A2000 (WB2.04) > B&W Star 9 pin here at home. In both cases, I got black features on a white background. Slash VS gives…
Hi, Forrest — I don't do alot of printing graphs, so I don't have a snap answer for you. Let me play around with that this weekend and see what my experience is — I'll be back at you Monday or Tuesday. Where in the Far East?
Hi, Michael — Thanks for your thoughts on ProCalc. I really didn't like The Advantage, so I guess I'd feel pretty similar about ProCalc. I think I'll stick with SuperPlan awhile longer ("The Devil you know is better than the Devil you don't know")…. — Ed (In Nawth NH) –…
Hi, Gracia — My luck is like your luck. Buy a new thingie today; next week out comes a new model, cheaper and better. Last guy at the gaspumps before the prices go down. And a really intriguing one — whenever I subscribe to Amiga oriented magazines, they go under…
Hi, Gracia — Ah. I never experienced MultiPlan. Perhaps I should look at ProCalc. Does it have slash commands and its own macro and "auto" capabilities ala SuperPlan? Those I liked alot. I tried Khalid's filename injector thingie, so as to be able to have directories as well as just…
Hi, Gracia — Like you, I suffered long (and relatively silently) with SuperPlan, waiting for that long-rumored spreadsheet to end all spreadsheets. I think it is still "not ready for prime time" but every so often there are these coy hints dropped here that prop up my hope again (I…
Hi, Jo — Truth be known, I've not played with it since upgrading from 1.3 and the 68000 to a GVP 40Mhz board for the A2000 (with WB2.04) and to A1200 at the office, so I don't even know if I can now run any part of this relic! So,…
Hi, Robert — Now that's discouraging… If you find a fix, let us know…. — Ed (In Nawth NH) — [via AP!]

#problem-message
Message #116224
Hi, Chris — Took me a few hours to figure out all I had to do was to sign back on in interactive, push the MSG-hi-# in OPTIONS to one above the problem message, and be back in business. Duh… Glad to see it wasn't just me (saw someone else…

#problem-message
Message #116223
Hi, Michael — Well, it seemed like a toss-up to me, and since it happened _here_ X3 at the exact same spot in the same message, (and did happen, as other messages noted, to other folks hereabout) I did wonder if it had anything to do with the functionality of…
Hi, Steve — I Thought I tried that (Lharc) also, but I'll re do it. Thanks! — Ed (In Nawth NH) — [via AP!]
Hi, Steve — Thank you sir! — Ed (In Nawth NH) — [via AP!]
#DRIVEL defective?
Message #100494
Hi, Sysop! Anyone else reporting problems unpacking DRIVEL.LZH (in LIB15)? I keep getting "corruption notices" using LZ, even on my second download of the program (glad it's real short!)…. Or can you re-check it for me? Many thanks… — Ed (In Nawth NH) — [via AP!]
VD0: has been on my A1200 for 6 weeks or so, and has not (as far as I can tell) been responsible for any unhappy events whatsoever. Now, I don't move any startup stuff over to it and use it as a fast rebooter (the A1200 is so quick to…
Hi Paul — I have asdg's vd0: recoverable ram on my A1200 — haven't tried rebooting from it, but it seems to function just fine as fast temporary storage. I remember several years ago having to try several versions of vd0: to get one that worked right. I'll play with…
Hi, Dom — Thanks anyhow! (My query got some interesting news from Steve about a spreadsheet in-the-works, so I'm pacified for awhile.) — Ed (In Nawth NH) — [via AP!]
Hi, Steve — Thanks for the info concerning a new spreadsheet for Amiga expected in June…. I'll hang on with gritted teeth awhile longer! — Ed (In Nawth NH) — [via AP!]
Hi, Dom — Pardon my intrusion! While you are cruising WOA, please check out that mysterious spreadsheet which (if memory serves me right) was rumored to have been signed to contract recently (within the last several months).The time and place ought to be right for some info, maybe even an…
Hi, Larry — Thanks for the info on HoisAGA! — Ed (In Nawth NH) — [via AP!]
Hi, Larry — When you get around to uploading it, is just fine. (My A1200 won't get here until later in the week, according to Safe Harbour.) I'm just collecting stuff to stick in my IBM buddy's eye…. thanks for your efforts! — Ed (In Nawth NH) — [via AP!]
Hi, Larry — What's the European demo you mentioned to Del? Is it (or could it be made to be) available here? — Ed (In Nawth NH) — [via AP!]
Hi Joanne — I'm not familiar with Microbotics "Plugs into the mouse port RTC hack." Is/Was that a "Clock in a dongle?" And are you saying that the MBX1200 (which is their new A1200 memory board, right?) _does_ have a clock on it? I can't find specs on it, and…

Message #80475
Hi, Kenneth — I am interested in Imagine 2.0 and the video at $100 if still available. Let me know and we'll go from there…. — Ed (In Nawth NH) –
Hi, Michael — Sounds as if you and Susan had a busy visit! We had somewhat nicer weather on Nantucket – some sun and temps in upper 40's. Only snow we saw was getting off the ferry at Hyannis. I like Nantucket (this being my second visit) but would not…
Hi, DonovaN — Upgrade notice for ProWrite 3.3x? About 6 weeks ago. Disks and docs showed up in this morning's mail. Best drop 'em a line, USPS might have eaten yours…. — Ed (In Nawth NH) — [via AP!]
Hi, Michael — Well, I'll be! I _thought_ that was you… Actually, we were on Nantucket all weekend (last footrace of my season), so passed by Nashua twice, putting us closer than we otherwise would've been (I really am located _wicked_ Nawth)! — Ed (In Nawth NH) — [via AP!]
Hi, Harry — I know where Poultney is, having motorcycled the length and width of VT numerous times (in warmer weather, of course). I don't know of any BBSs, groups or dealers in that area (which doesn't mean they aren't there). It may be that your nearest dealer is in…
Hi, Harry — Where are you in Vermont? There used to be, and maybe still is, a usergroup near Burlington (Jericho or Essex Junction, I remember). Dunno about way downstate… I'm 20 miles east of St. Johnsbury. — Ed (In Nawth NH) — [via AP!]
