wraith, why can't you read a pdf on your device? Instead of a proprietary format, that is?-superboyac (February 17, 2011, 09:15 PM)
Man, if you are good with computers, why even bother with ebook formats?-superboyac (February 17, 2011, 02:54 PM)

It's as simple as you let it be.-40hz (February 17, 2011, 09:08 AM)
Much easier said than done.
When so many people go out and buy Apple products, and with such a large economy, it's hard to ignore (as a developer).
As a developer, you need to write for the devices/platforms that people are using. If that means Apple, well, then it's Apple.
What good would it do to write for Palm OS? Or the PET, or CBM, or Windows 98? Nobody uses them anymore.
While it may seem simple, it's not really THAT simple.-Renegade (February 17, 2011, 04:19 PM)
| $0-25 | I'll buy on a whim | Yeah, I buy a lot of software. |
| $26-50 | I'll buy with very little justification | I lied. I buy a hell of a lot of software. |
| $51-100 | I'll buy with a little more justification | I have software that I've never used. |
| $101-250 | It will take some time to justify | Office, Windows, SlickEdit, ReSharper |
| $250+ | Very few software packages will I buy in this range | Delphi, Visual Studio |
Winstep Nexus is of no use, once it autohides I can't get it to show again (I'm sure it will work fine on a single monitor setup).
As for Directory Opus - when I read the help it gives the impression that specific Toolbars can be saved with specific Listers, but I've been though all the options and tried over and over and cannot do this. Perhaps I'm misinterpreting the help.
I thinking maybe another File Manger type Explorer could be used for this one task - or I could just shut-up and get on with using Dopus.-nudone (February 17, 2011, 12:47 PM)
FWIW, I don't have a problem with Apple's technologies - even if their most significant were either 'borrowed' or acquired rather than developed in-house.
I have a big problem with Apple's business, legal, and marketing practices. And I have an even bigger problem with their resident demigod, Mr. Jobs, who is the most significant single factor that's keeping Apple from becoming something truly great.

I thought that having one life to live at a time was enough. It seem that many want to also have a virtual life.

Anyway, how many of Facebook friends are really friends? How many will take time to visit you or call you if you are sick in the hospital? How many will visit you, if you are in jail? The ones that care about you enough to move their but, those are your friends. All others are just acquaintances.-rxantos (February 17, 2011, 12:41 PM)

Some dangerous ideas:

-- The model publishers are following with DRM and pricing is RIAA in the 1990s all over againAgreed. Totally.-zridling (February 11, 2011, 10:20 AM)
-- Stop confusing the iPad as an e-reader. It can't do what the Kindle/Nook does and doesn't have the Ink clarity.Agreed only in part. Can it use e-ink or have the advantages that e-ink provides. No. But can it do what the kindle/nook does? Of course it can! What the readers to is allow you to read ebooks. And iPads (and a variety of other devices) allow you to do that also.-zridling (February 11, 2011, 10:20 AM)

They have pretty good sales on Manning from time to time; I believe I purchased the book and the pdf for $15.00 around Christmas.-wraith808 (February 10, 2011, 10:13 AM)
Good one - I'll grab that thing. There's a big element of running before walking when it comes to computering these days IMHO. Would be a great idea to cover some more basics.-timns (February 10, 2011, 11:11 AM)
