There is software called Ray Gun by Arboretum, it is $99 US but it does exactly what you want. It is available at: http://www.arboretum.com/ Adaptec sells Toast Jam, software for mastering audio CD's, too.

However, while reading the fine print on the product discription, it appears that this display is not compatable with the Powerbook 190, 5300 and 2300. Why is this? What could be so different about this monitor? I would really like to use this display with my Powerbook 5300. I have upgraded the external video card to a third party video card with more memory. Would this difference matter? It seems really odd that you can use this display with Mac, PC and RGB connections but you can't connect it to some these models of Powerbooks.

It is beautiful and ridiculously crisp and easy on the eyes. However, I'm having a devil of a time setting up a colour calibration for the LCD since the contrast changes depending on the angle between the monitor and the viewer. In fact, using the ColorSync calibration dialogues, where there are the three Apples to calibrate, I can get different results, even with everything identical, viewing position, monitor position etc just by moving the calibration dialogue from one part of the monitor to the other (i.e. from centre to bottom centre, top centre etc). So, should I give up with the idea of using the display for hue-sensitive, colour-sensitive work with photo-editing and photo-retouching and get an additional analogue tube-monitor for colour correction? Or am I missing something? thanks, Dieder -- Dieder Bylsma | ______________________________| ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 11 Aug 1999 18:15:19 -0400 From: Louis Bergeron Subject: CRASH IN WORD 98 SOLVED Hi, I had this problem with Word 98. It would make impossible to save the document telling me the disk was full when 100 megs were available. Problem with the automatic saving option which was creating lots of version of the document on the disk. Now, it seems to be OK.

(A Sony 2MB Model MPF92A) I would like to replace it, but I don't use it that much and don't want to pay $150 for a new one. Any suggestions where I might find a refurbished or use one? Charley Stang ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 10 Aug 1999 13:28:00 EDT From: "Jesse Shaver" Subject: Need help changing default system icons I'm running a OS 8.0 on a G3. I've got tons of funky icons, and I want to use them as the default icons for my system (e.g. when I make a new folder, I want it to come with a custom icon). I assumed that the default icons would be in the system file, but when I opened it in ResEdit, the icons it displayed in the icl8 resource were old-looking, 2D folders, whereas the default on my computer is 3D blue folders. If that particular icon resource isn't stored in the system file, where is it? Thanks in advance, Jesse Shaver _______________________________________________________________ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web.

No, we don't need to get at the logic board, we need to remove a Zip Drive (click of death) for repair (to ship to Iomega). -Bob rsdalton@lycosmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 11 Aug 1999 07:30:32 +0200 (ITADST) From: iain antony macleod Subject: PowerWave to G3 card Hi everyone, just about made the leap and buy a new G3 (cheap at first, but when filled with all the SCSI, cables, adapters, usw), I decided to stick to my (old) Power Computing Power Wave 120 for a while more. I decided that a G3 update card would be the solution to avoid the $4,000. Can someone recommend a working G3 card solution on a PPC? What are the costs and can I install a Sys8.6.1without trouble? Please attach URLs. Thank you iain antony _________________________________ ***i.macleod*** cell. +39 3296 118 118 latest website designs http://www.fabbricaeuropa.net http://www.intuscany.net/dedalo http://www.agora.stm.it/I.Macleod ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 11 Aug 1999 17:47:58 +0930 From: Burr Dodd Subject: Speed Doubler & Startup Icons I recently bought a 3 Mac and installed Speed Doubler 8.1.2 not because I wanted more speed but because of the Smart Replace copyig method. As soon as I installed Speed Doubler the Control Panel and Extensions icons that pop up across the bottom of the screen during startup while the square Mac face is on the screen and before the finder opens - these icon scattered across the middle of the screen in a higgle-piggle way instead of being neatly at the bottom of the screen. Does anyone know how to fix this? ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 10 Aug 1999 20:52:12 -0400 From: Dwight Early Subject: Whot Happened to Info-Mac Digest?! Gawd!
