- I found where to change the point... I made something a lot better...
- but now when I click on the desktop, or something, it changes into
- the number '1016' with a red band on the top and bottom if it...
- and THAT acts as the '
- pointer!
-
- What gives?
-
- Also, the way it recognizes when there is a floppy in the drive is neat, just
- like the Mac.
-
- Hey, I figured out the 'screens' trick! Granted, I'd rather just iconize
- something, perhaps... hey, how DO I iconize something?! Anyway,
- I 'dragged' the Dpain II screen down and saw the workbench!
-
- Also, did you guys know that if you fold down the feet on the keyboard it
- can fit snugly *under* the Amiga 1000? Nice to get it out ofthe way sometimes.
- I cannot imagine why C= would make the A500..well, AT ALL with the nice
- looks and detached keyboard ofthe Amiga1000. The A1000 looks a lot
- 'better' than the A500, IMO.
-
- What's this 'F -> E' scrollbar thing on the left of my windows? What is it?
-
- Hmm... ohm regarding the usefulness of screens, since windows do not
- seem to move off the screen edge, you sorta need them. In my OS/2,
- for example, I can drag down a full screen app by the title bar. Drag it down,
- to the side, any where, and it is still 'full screen'. Now, it can't
- be some weird resolution or color difference like on the Amiga, but real close
- and better in some respects. And the 640X400-type mode (
- 640X480) on my my PC doesn't flicker so bad. Wow!
-
- Well, lemme go try to find Lemmings in this box..... 8)
