Hmmph! Well, I'll be damned! All these years I thought it was an Altair. Well, learn something new every day. Check out those hardware specs! Awesome Dude! http://www.smecc.org/imsai.htm The IMSAI 8080 used an Intel 8080A processor, and came as a base unit with 4K RAM. I/O was through front panel switches and LED's, without additional peripherals. It was once the fastest selling microcomputer. It had an S-100 bus with 22 expansion slots... > -----Original Message----- > From: Leonard, Phil > > >> Anyone say "shall we play a game" > >Well then you must have been using an Altair PC.

Re: sbc dsl and linksys firewall config issues

What would make double NAT fail? fyi: works in my home just fine though two Linux iptables setups for something I was playing with. Then again NAT on Linux may be better than that in a hardware firewall? Hmmm what's the association with the MTU setting? And just where is this set in the dsl modem and in windows? "just works" with Linux... too bad this system isn't fully under my control to do "right". How do you find the "right" MTU setting?

A friend of mine who worked for AT&T had one of those! First time I got to see Unix as my father didn't get to buy everything he wanted. He worked for IBM and won a suggestion award that paid for a Furnace, air conditioner and his XT with a 10mb hard drive. He said he wanted a second hard drive (for Minux) and a cga moniter. How much farther ahead would I be if I'd picked up on more Unix and Minux, rather than toying with the speech synthesis!

But I'm not doing even-odd (right-left) pages. One thing I do notice is that some pages are page style first page, others are default. In online layout mode, I have two pages instead of 109. If I open up print preview and then close I suddenly get 117 pages! The extra 8 pages being the ones that I can delete and have them magically reappear. How do I determine if I have a page break as opposed to a section break? Also some pages with tables don't allow me to alter the page. Now you must realize, I did nothing special in creating this document. Everything was using the defaults of OO.

Open Office quirks
by Brian Densmore 17 Jan '05

I've written my family tree in Open office. Some pages are title pages; centered text, single column. Some pages are family data pages; two column text. I have come across some strange behavior in OO, that I can't seem to get rid of. If I add a page and copy and paste data from another page, sometimes it adds an extra blank page. If I get rid of that page the new page with the pasted data becomes part of the previous existing page. A double ctrl-enter then adds a blank page and puts the new data on it's own page. If I then hit the delete once, then it appears to be fixed. But it's not really. If I save and close, the blank page comes back. Anyone else have issues like this with OO. I know this is probably something to post in a bug report. Also, any one but more than one textbox on a page? I'd like to have two textboxes on the data pages; one with two columns and one with one column. Brian Densmore

Solar Cells

There's been some talk about independent power generation here lately, so I thought some of you would be interested in this: http://www.reuters.com/newsArticle.jhtml?type=scienceNews&storyID=7319094&s… New solar cells that are 5x more efficient than the current 6%. I should point out that there are a LOT of resources on alternative power on the web. Don't rely on this list unless your interest is purely casual.

VNCserver XDM on Startup?
by Jon Moss 17 Jan '05

17 Jan '05

I've done a few quick searches via Google but not finding what I'm looking for. I have Fedora Core 3 and would like to have VNCserver autoload on startup and give me a login screen when I attach remotely via SSH tunnel. Is this possible? Can someone point me to a howto or other similar documentation? -- Thanks very much, Jon Moss jon.moss(a)cnonline.net

RE: best eye candy for Linux
by Brian Kelsay 17 Jan '05

I agree with you Brian, with one exception. Enlightenment is the best looking out of the box if you like it. I don't. Never have. I never saw the what the big deal was other than the transparent windows, which they seemed to be the first at. For me, one word always described E, yuck. I'm not a big theme hound, I switch them around every once in a while and end up back at default with just a change of wallpaper. Most of the time even that is covered up and so it's not a big deal for me. I go for functionality. To each his own, but KDE has always been fine for me on a full desktop and fluxbox or Windowmaker on a minimal machine. I even used XFCE for a while. Make it work first, then make it pretty. They can all be reconfigured to the point that their mama wouldn't recognize them, so take a chance, open up that GUI control panel and go wild. Brian Kelsay
