ABC computer-based method: In 1989/1990, I started using Lotus Agenda, a PIM which was ideal for automating the recording and dynamic updating of the ToDo list and details of any associated data. Lotus Agenda is obsolete now, and I have not found any software that can perform as well as this since [...]~-IainB (June 12, 2010, 02:08 PM)
I did post an "IDEA" for new Agenda-like software on the DC forum a while back, but no takers. I suspect that more modern generations would not have a clue what it is, and therefore would not want to dig down and develop it, and older one-time assembler programmers like me - who knew Agenda well, but also know our limitations - haven't started to try and develop it, even though we might like to.~
I am playing with InfoQube (was SQLNotes) at present, to see what that offers.-IainB (September 23, 2009, 11:33 PM)
Everyone uses the phrase "free beer" but I haven't found any in real life.

That makes me think of a cool name for a calendar program that automatically puts things off for you. Crastinator Pro. Or you could get the open source version Crastinator Free.-MilesAhead (June 09, 2010, 10:58 PM)
And for those who have constipation....Crapinator Pro.-Innuendo (June 10, 2010, 08:34 PM)
I would think constipated it would be CrapFree.-MilesAhead (June 12, 2010, 01:03 PM)
A chiseled titan playing an everyman? C'mon! Arnold Schwarzenegger was certainly miscast in Total Recall. Nevertheless, the depthlessness of his performance hardly matters once he starts flailing and freaking out in the Rekall machine.-website
a cool movie in my book. though, what does he mean by "depthlessness"?-lanux128 (June 12, 2010, 01:43 AM)

That's an excellent product!+1

The XYplorer Lifetime License Pro entitles one person to use the full version of XYplorer on any number of devices for an unlimited time.
Plus, the key is valid for ALL future versions, so you pay once and get all upgrades for free!
my thinking was, use the File menu if you want the print dialog.. use the quick toolbar button if you want a quick immediate printout.-mouser (June 10, 2010, 07:22 AM)
Microsoft uses this line of logic in the Office suite. the button on the toolbar is essentially a quick print button based on the settings used the previous time. to make any changes, one have to go to the File>Print menu item.-lanux128 (June 10, 2010, 07:26 AM)
bumping this - not sure if that explanation is fully clear so:
1) I scan something, say a letter - text fits easily in A4 page
2) tidy & crop it in SC
3) when it is saved as PDF, SC enlarges the scanned image so as it fills the (A4) page to the very edge
there are workarounds, but I was hoping that step #3 could be stopped/removed ?-tomos (January 15, 2010, 06:28 AM)
It seems that setting an alarm for X:xx PM resulted in the alarm going off at both X:xx PM & X:xx AM - That's hardly acceptable...and I'm not sure how the hell I missed it (in retrospect). But one of the alarm loop tests (which was set for 6:00 PM) woke me up at 6:00 AM this morning ... Which required a low grade Witch Hunt to crucify the jackass that had woke me up at 6:00 AM on a freaking Sunday... (Which turned out to be me)
So... I'll just call this one the Sunday Morning Bugg fix build.-Stoic Joker (June 06, 2010, 01:26 PM)

First rule of real system-level product development: "Eat your own dogfood."
no, first rule is infiltrate the market as deeply and broadly as possible, even if you lose money on the effort.
rule two is de-legitimize the competitor's product and soften up the market.
rule three is roll out your alternative product.

)From time to time I have purchased some cheap font managers, only to find they later (or already) were abandoned. I guess one of my prime reasons for buying "cheap" have been the price of the recommended ones. $49 and $59 may be okay prices for MainType 3 and FontExpert 2010, if they were to keep for life. But they are not lifetime licenses, and the upgrade prices are $29 and $39 - making especially FontExpert much too expensive, I think. Changes are not that big, it seems, but major versions come quick (*ALMOST* as often as Ashampoo!)!
Did you stick with your gratis version 2, tomos, or have you paid the $29 fee?-Curt (May 30, 2010, 05:08 PM)
2.1.1 [May 16, 2007]
* Install and uninstall fonts through double-click
3.0 [March 31, 2010]
* Better handling of font substitutes
* New context menu item: Open Containing Folder
* New filter option, Font Type: Unknown
* Added Foundry and a Full Font Name (Postscript) columns to the Fonts pane
* Show all Glyphs option
* Fixed issues with PostScript Type 1 fonts on Windows x64
* New setting for font display quality (aliased/ cleartype, etc)
* Automatic online version checking
MainType is an universal font management tool for both novice users and advanced graphic designers and typographers. In order to find the right fonts for your needs, the software includes filter and sort functionality. The main information about the font, such as its properties, supported characters, font type etc. are displayed in a font information pane. A groups pane helps you quickly organize all your fonts.my emphasis

I am impressed how much Veign has done to Cfont Pro since the last time I tried it some years ago. I will certainly test it for some time. Thanks, Tom!-Curt (May 30, 2010, 02:16 PM)
