Some of you may remember an earlier thread of mine known as XLTronic LITE... I have taken that idea to a new level of low-tech posting... I currently have.... NO MOUSE! That's right, for the past 2 days I have been using the arrow, Alt, Tab, and backspace keys to navigate webages. At first you wonder how people ever got along with computers before the mouse, but you'd get used to it if only it didn't make virtually every game unplayable... oh well, got a new one on the way that will blow any mouse I've ever owned away. heh |

I'm not doing this on purpose btw, my old mouse finally stopped working for good after putting me through two weeks of constant annoyance by crapping on and off, so I smashed it against my wall once I realized that MicroShaft made it a physical IMPOSSIBILITY for the damn thing to be taken apart by any civilized means. |

I used to post with no functional keyboard. I copied and pasted words syllabes and letters. |

oh my god... I'm not sure which would be worse.... your plight would certainly be more time consuming... but I do feel oddly handicapped with my mouse pointer sitting in one spot all the time.. |

I've posted on here using a dreamcast (with pad, not keyboard and mouse)! |
||||||||
|

God damn... it gets really old having to cycle through every link on the page (including the list of online users) before getting to the text box... |
||||||||

heheheh... that's cool... I never used the dreamcast internet software but I always thought it was need it had that capability.. kinda like the precurser to XBOX live and the PS2 online thing... same idea... Dreamcast was also the first console system to have MMORPG's |

ATARI LYNX???? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Atari Lynx is the shit, yo |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
nah... it's a very old school web browser. " A Web browser that only displays text and is accessed by using a keyboard instead of a mouse. Lynx users will not be able to see images or hear sounds, and may not see a Web page in its intended format. It is commonly used by those who are visually impaired, have slower connections to the Internet, or do not want all the graphics displayed (graphics take a lot of time to download on slower connections). Lynx is ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) compatible. " |

ahh well that is cool though! |

nice |

get mozilla/firefox, browsing the web sans mouse is a JOY using type-ahead find. |

I wanna see someone browse this board with their Amiga! |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
I've browsed this site from: Nokia 7650 Sony Ericsson P900 and each time had a good result and posted messages with no problems. It's fucking slower than Promo though. |

I like the look of xlt through lynx. The loading speed must be phenominal. Sometimes I use IE with all plugins and pics turned off, but it doesn't come with that funky 80s shell style colour scheme. It looks kinda like IRC, which is nice. |

No one can beat me at California Games on the Lynx. |

lynx running on the system it was supposed to run on..... UNIX |
||||||||
|
|

|

that shit is mad hot! |

hmmm unix=mac osx?? well its a bit tenuous. suppose osx is built to be unix compatable, but I thought you were gunna dig out your old at&t mainframe or something with at least 200lbs of pig iron in it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Whoo whoo! Sweet as |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no OS X is UNIX it has a Darwin base system, which is BSD derivative therefore it is actual UNIX :) not tenuous at all |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes. BSD is a flavor of unix, kinda. and osx has components of BSD. while it's not exactly 100% correct, it's definately not a huge stretch to say that console apps in osx are UNIX apps. |

|
|
get this then boyos Text mode Quake! Only available for Linux/UNIX! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well no, actually it is UNIX |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hmmm derivative......sounds like UNIXlite to me. |
||||||||
|
|

omg! hype! |

you're probably right. |

Ok, I beleive you. I would nearly be tempted to buy a mac, except for: 1)can't close a window with just clicking [x]. 2)one mouse button (why?) 3)looks hmm well a bit crappy, kinda faux futuristic+pure?? both gui and case. I'm currently making my own distro, based on slackware, and a few other bits, to fit onto a USB keyring drive thingy. Just basically bash, mc (best prog ever) and a few other tools, as well as /sbin /bin and all that. small gcc and basic coms tools (parallel coms) etc. maybe ftpd I dunno yet. I'm thinking of getting a 128mb drive for a linux boot/dev/rescue device. |

|
|
you're on!!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

1) yes you can close a window by just clicking x you're talking about closing an application, and you don't understand how programs operate in Mac OS :p 2) One mouse button is simple for people to learn how to use. You can buy a multiple button USB mouse, plug it in, and there you go, all the mouse buttons you want - and YES you do get a right-click menu 3) you can change the look of the OS with themes a new distro? hmm sounds interesting, and on a USB flash drive!!!!!!! That would be SPEEDY!!!!!!!! would you consider making a PPC version? ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no. do your own :p oh and i meant close an application with the [x] . The way I see it, and bear in mind I rarely use macs, the [x] just makes the window vanish, like minimize but more hidden. It doesnt kill the app, so when you logoff, it says do you wanna save blah from2 hours ago, and it just annoys me,popping up when you least expect it, kinda like the mac version of the ms paperclip I know its the way macs do it, but why? seems convoluted. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah that's the point you need to understand the program concept in Mac OS an application window isn't regarded as the application, it is an application document. when you close the "document" (window) you're just closing that one window how far through are you with this USB Flash distro? are you making a website about it? i'd be interested to read any notes you may have published online regarding this endeavor |

for the type ahead find on firefox, is there a way to "find next" once it's found a link that matches the typing? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
purely theoretical at the moment, due to time constraints (i.e. lack of time) Over the bank holiday I will be building my homebrew ring modulator (with internal sq.wave osc from a 4046). based around a basic ring mixer similar to and some of my own design. then after that, maybe. but still gotta buy the flash drive! |
