Bob- I got the ROM chips yesterday – the holiday weekend delayed them, I guess – and everything installed smoothly, without a hitch. Paul (aka Mr. Zombie)
I'm not 100% sure, but the MacroSystem people only asked my dealer whether I had 2.04+ or not, so… But I'll call them tomorrow to check. Paul (aka Mr. Zombie)
Thanks Tom! It's actually for a friend, and I thank you on his behalf too. Cheerio!
Alan- Good to see you back…? Are you still on an Amiga, or are you flying on some alien bird? Paul (aka Mr. Zombie)
I was actually already going to ask you that, but you already planted the bait. When is the next edition of your book due out? Paul (aka Mr. Zombie)
Ah, but the real question is where would you put the Supra on the CourierSportster line? Paul (aka Mr. Zombie)
So what then is V34bis that you say is not likely to be widely accepted? I'm a bit confused about all the new 28.8k standards – I haven't seen them summarized anywhere. Paul (aka Mr. Zombie)
Keith- I sure hope you're wrong, because my dealer just ordered a Warp Engine 3040 directly from MacroSystemsUS for me, for my desktop A3000. Where did you hear that? Paul (aka Mr. Zombie)
Jim- I take it you're the author? Basically, what would happen is that I'd launch CheckItOut, it would open 1 window and then another, and my machine would freeze while the 2nd window was being drawn. During this time I was able to note that my system default fonts were…
#Monitor sync and res?
Message #186123
Does anyone know what the sync ranges and max resolutions on these two monitors are? 14" Mitsubishi DiamondScan AUM1381A C= 1960 Any help much appreciated! Paul (aka Mr. Zombie)
Ahh… well, I sure have egg on my face. Sorry about that, and thanks. Paul (aka Mr. Zombie)
Low Prices!

Michael- You just have that mile-high attitude, I guess! Seriously, though, I wish you luck. Paul (aka Mr. Zombie)
I understand, I wasn't faulting you, Steve, just being frustrated that no one seems to really know what services will be available. Feedback still hasn't responded to my questions on that subject either. Paul (aka Mr. Zombie)
That sounds good, for sure! I wasn't sure how to interpret that message, and Steve wasn't forthcoming with interpretation. Thanks for the ray of hope! Paul (aka Mr. Zombie)
Steve- That sounds like good news. Am I right in understanding you to mean that within a month or two we'll be able to use AmiTCP or something and all that (it's all Greek to me, for now, but I'll dive in soon) and get Internet access through our CIS…
>Sometimes there are advantages to being a slob. Truer words were never spoken! Thanks Karl. Paul (aka Mr. Zombie)
#QPB Phone#
Message #185900
Karl- This is kind of stupid, but do you have QPB's customer service number? I just moved, and I can't find it anywhere, and I'm sure they've shipped all kinds of books I don't want, and I'm still waiting for ones I do… TIA Paul (aka Mr. Zombie)
In the libraries here. PGP26.LHA and PGP.LHA in library 7, in fact. Paul (aka Mr. Zombie)
Thanks Jim. That sounds better than I thought. Regardless, though, I'm sure I'll be getting an Emplant one of these days. One question though – was the Emplant in the benchmarks running on a stock 4000, or on Warp Engine 4040 or something? Paul (aka Mr. Zombie)
#CIS Internet on Amiga
Message #185757
Dale- As our resident connectivity expert, I'm asking you this, since I haven't really gotten any anwers anywhere else. Will it be possible to use Compuserve's new Internet connections from an Amiga? Paul (aka Mr. Zombie)
Thanks Pete, it's on my list now. Paul (aka Mr. Zombie)
Huh. I heard that the creditors already approved, from another source. I hope there's truth in them hills. Paul (aka Mr. Zombie)
Bob- I don't think it's all as bad as that! I mean, it is pathetic that there were no ROM chips in the package, but it's just an ordinary screwup, I think, and the chips are supposed to be on the way. It's not even that hard to install them,…
William Broad. Heh. I'll keep that in mind next time someone comes up with the same old predictable question. Paul (aka Mr. Zombie)
Hank, was that from an actual CEI dealer fax? There are all these other posts now saying that the fax never materialized in other parts of the country. Paul (aka Mr. Zombie)
Believe me, I know. I've gotten all kinds of grief from my last name. I've come to the conclusion that Billy Idol is The Most Famous Person In The World, since 2 out of 3 strangers, learning my last name in a business context and already talking to me -…
Very likely. I could go through and manually fix it, but it's not worth it. I just received 3.1 yesterday – except what to my wondering eyes did I see? NO ROM CHIPS! Expert Services wouldn't even overnight them – so I'll be lucky to install this week. 🙁 Paul…
Yah, I know, it's the same old same old. Again. I think the decreased messaging though is due largely to the lack of real information and to the malaise that is settling in on those of us who are sticking with the platform for whatever reason. Paul (aka Mr. Zombie)
PP040 3k – $225
Message #185482
Progressive 040/25 $225 firm There's a bit of a story behind this board. I bought it awhile ago, used, from Joseph E. Hoh III of Kentucky who represented it to me as perfectly operational without a flaw on its shiny green surface except for working componants. At $425 plus shipping…
Oh boy, I don't know how that one came out. I'm sorry. I'm really sorry. My foot is buried somewhere deep in my intestine. I shall promptly correct the message. I do know your name, I don't know what the hell I was thinking. Now I feel like Dick Armey.…
Bob- Thanks! I used Jim Butterfield's excellent Trimmer ARexx macro to reformat the file to 75 columns and now it loads without crashing. It's not perfect – some lines seem to be truncated by the Amigaguide reader program – but at least I can go through it for some highlights…
OK, no real problem for me since 3.1 will be arriving any day now. But as I told Bob Chapman, he was right – it seems to be that older AGs can't handle such long lines. Paul (aka Mr. Zombie)
My fingers are crossed, believe me. Paul (aka Mr. Zombie)
Thanks for the recommendation. I'll register it promptly. Paul (aka Mr. Zombie)

#Bad DS3 Guide file
Message #185376
Dale- It seems that the DiskSalv.guide file on my DiskSalv3 disk is defective – every time I try to load it my machine crashes. No other guides give me this problem. I remember when I first installed DiskSalv3 I had this problem, but I guess I forgot about it, and…
Steve- Hmmm. I don't have any software to trade with, but I guess I'll give it a try via snail mail directly. Thanks. Paul (aka Mr. Zombie)
#Registration Problems?
Message #185352
Since I've been burned and nearly burned a couple times recently trying to register shareware, I figured I'd first ask this time if anyone here has had troubles. I'm about to register: DiskCat by Kenny E. Nagy for US $10 UUxT by Asher Feldman for US $10 VirusChecker by John…
That sounds good. What fax, though, the CEI dealer fax? Paul (aka Mr. Zombie)
I have one for an A500. Fit? Paul (aka Mr. Zombie)
Klondike doesn't exactly use an 8bit mode, though, in that it displays 262k colors rather than 256 through some hardware/software screwery. However, I'm sure that someone here could provide you with the modeID of HAM8 Productivity or HAM8 Super72, which are, I think, 2 of the modes offered by Klondike…
Well, that's good to know. I guess I won't send off my $20 to the US SASG site for MUI. Kind of funny, in light of all their protestations of virtue and good intent, and the effort that went into that registration program. Paul (aka Mr. Zombie)
Did you ever manage to register MUI for the $20 US fee? Paul (aka Mr. Zombie)
Wow! That's what I can look forward to as soon as my WE comes in, then. Cool! Paul (aka Mr. Zombie)
Kind of contradicts Steve Ahlstrom's message 185150, a summary of Dan Stet's article of yesterday. According to that there's another 2 week delay because of a death in the family of the judge. Paul (aka Mr. Zombie)
And good luck to you. Paul (aka Mr. Zombie)
Paul- Huh. I don't know why the Retina drivers don't do the same. Paul (aka Mr. Zombie)
A 3000. Paul (aka Mr. Zombie)
Huh. Well, thanks. I'll register via mail and ask. Paul (aka Mr. Zombie)
