Subj: ALL SORTS OF STUFF
Hey, Rick, I really enjoyed our conversation this evening. That Booster Pack certainly does seem enticing. I'd love to have a 384K contiguous RAM disk, along with TS-DOS built in and the telcom program. I'll bet the telcom program allows for direct download to the RAM disk, too, huh? While, it seems so enticing, I'm sure it would be overkill for what I use a Model 100 for. XR4 meats a lot of needs right now. I got it because of the lower cost and wanting to have everything internal. You've given me a few ideas, though, about how to use it. I SHOULD make one of the banks into a ROM image of TS-DOS so that I can use the file management features offered in the ROM version for each bank. Maybe a ROM image of Multiplan, too, I suppose, since I have that chip. I do have the two Model 100s. Perhaps after this summer term I can think about some kind of booster pack. The Model 100s are going to be most useful to me over the next couple of years while I am going to the college in Eugene to get my degree. Movies in WordPerfect. The Mac's Operating System is light years ahead of Windows, and I say that with all due respect to Windows. I'm not one of those who is polarized either way. It's possible to view quick time movies using System 7, the Mac's current Operating System. WordPerfect for the Mac takes advantage of this feature by making it possible to view them using WordPerfect. It's then possible to take that movie, freeze the frame, cut it out and paste it into the document. As you know, even WordPerfect for MSDOS can import graphical images and you can print them with your document. This is an even greater capability. Someone once said that word processors would one day make desktop publishing software obsolete. This is more and more becoming the case.
