What's an "EP"? Is that a cartridge? I see you "got by" at a good

price. I hate soft fonts- very tired of taking the time to DL them with

my DeskJet. Wish I'd bought "hard" cartridges.

Is there a cartridge that would handle 8-14 point times roman and

helvetica?

Mebbe I should go to ElekTek this weekend. The printer sounds great!

Oh, BTW, I'd need the meg add-on, maybe go right for the 2 meg. I want

Leo, just saw your message from last month. Flew United last night
|
|
and althought delayed by bad weather/traffic, had a very nice flight.
|
|
Have been practicing MS Flight Sim and can land the Cessna smoothly
|
|
at most airports. I like to use the program to 'fly' around SF, NY,
|
|
etc. and with a little imagination its something like sightseeing.
|
|
Using a 386 with VGA is very smooth and responsive, even with the
|
|
faster Learjet. But the objects seem primitive and detail lacking.
|
|
I hear a new version (4.0) is on the way with the feature of allowing
|
|
you to 'design' an airplane and try to fly it.

Hi! I just saw your message indicating that you still work for Bell Labs.
|
|
I don't know where Indian Hills is, but is it the same as the Bell Labs
|
|
in Naperville? I have several friends who work there.
|
|
I am now the LAN Adminstrator for the Illinois Student Assistance
|
|
Commission in Deerfield. We use Novelle Netware and a gateway to the
|
|
IBM mainframe sitting in Springfield. Within two months we will have
|
|
dial-up lines for our people to call in from remote locations.
|
|
I'm certainly glad that I don't work in a retail computer store any
|
|
more.

I just tried out a nice PRINT to DISK type of program. It is called

|
LPTX700.ARC (48801 bytes) and runs in MS-DOS. A program that I really
|
|
needed for Prodigy. Interestingly it works fine. But Prodigy doesn't give
|

you that option very often. I also capture graphic screens with another
|
|
commerical program. Now all I need is a file section on Prodigy and this

may not be that bad at all. <BW>

EP stands for ElectroPhotographic.the piece of the printer that contains the

tone and drum.says in the manual that 1 meg add-on is sufficient for 300

by 300 full page stuff, although that may not be the case if you do download

fonts. Rotating fonts to landsape mode also eats up memory. To be safe,

I probably would go to the 2 meg board. you can never have too much memory.

Good to hear from you again after so long, I'm not on the BBS's
|
|
much these days. I'm happy to hear you left the retail business,
|
|
it's hell. Why do figure I work for Bell Labs these days ??
|
|
Anyway, Indian Hill is in Naperville, although I probably won't
|
|
know the names of your friends working here. There are 5000+
|
|
people working in this location. If I didn't know better, I'd
|
|
think that Naperville was in Northern New Jersey with all the

AT&T locations in this area. If you have access to USENET, or

ARPANET, I can be reached at (pick one :-> ):

to WARD CHRISTENSEN re: R/PUTTING UP BBS
|
|
|
|
I would recommend that you aim a EXTREME simplicity of structure
|
|
and easy of use. [Maybe the two don't go together well.] But I have
|
|
been showing some computer users some simple local bbs and find that they
|
|
are disturbed by the current BBS menu structures. Somehow they are just
|
|
not all that logical. Or perhaps it is the terms-a bulletin is not a
|
|
message on many boards. Or you can write a message to all but it isn't
|
|
a bulletin-those only come from the sysop.
|
|
I am very interested in how your BBS turns out, Ward. In terms of the
|
|
number of people using a particular BBS software, I would steer you to
|
|
RBBS or the commercial version TBBS [I think]. The bandwagon effect is
|
|
significant.

An editor which has multiple windows-check out PC Outline. As share-

You can make any keys do anything through a very slick macro feature.

I am considering puting up a service on a 976 number that would require
|
|
some sort of equipment that allows the caller to select information via

|
touch tone. The system should also be able to record and playback
|
|
voice messages. More specifically, callers would call one phone line to
|
|
record a message and I would select 3 or so of those messages to be put
|
|
up on the 976 line for retrieval by callers. I would need several 976 lines,
|
|
and one message-taking line. My question is what would be the most
|

efficient and cost-effective way to set up this type of system?

|
|
There are differences between MCI maail and CompuServe that make cost
|
|
comparisons apples and oranges. For example, with MCI mail you can have
|
|
your message sent in hard copy if th recipient isn't on th system. And
|
|
as far as 'most widely used' what does that mean? Most subscribers?
|
|
Most e-mail mesages? Isn't the reall issue whether your target recipients
|
|
are on the system?
