    Grammatik question

    Hello. This software goes back a while... circa 1993. Grammatik by Novell Inc. I can open it on my PowerBook G3 running OS9, but one feature does not work; i.e., the tree diagrams of parsed sentences. The error message sates: "Can't open morphological dictionary." Does anyone still have this...

    So what's new with your Newton?

    re. I've seriously though of taking the MessagePad with me into meetings and seeing if anyone notices... Go for it. I took notes on my Newton at a conference in Tokyo University a few years ago. It was a great ice-breaker to start up conversations.

    StyleWriter I - no ink on paper

    I have cleaned the Stylewriter but now the PowerBook 1400c OS8.5 will not recognize the printer as I get a 'port in use by another application' alert :-( So I got out my Stylewriter 2400 and that connected OK (though cannot print for another reason). What causes the  'port in use by another...

    Stylewriter 2400 orange light

    Hi. I have a simple question: is the Stylewriter 2400 orange light indicating  a specific problem?  I have added a new ink cartridge, cleaned with alcohol, the PowerBook 1400c connects  BUT cannot print due to the orange light. What could be the error? Thank you.

    Grammatik (WordPerfect)

    Hi. Does anyone here remember WordPerfect’s Mac Grammatik circa 1994? I have a copy installed on my Powerbook 1400, OS 8.5,  and it works a treat for statistics and readability.  However, it will not open a  parse tree as that function is greyed out in the menu bar. Any ideas?  This is  a...

    PowerBook G3 Lombard keys 3 - E - D - C are not functioning.

    Thank you. The keyboard is quite sensitive: sometimes the keys work, other times they do not. I can live with it as they now 'mostly' work after a few minutes.

    MS Word 2001 question

    Hi. I have a Lombard G3 running OS 9.1 with MS Word 2001.  In the Word File drop down menu I can see a list of previous document names from previous owner. The docs have been deleted. How do I remove this list? Thank you.

    PowerBook G3 Lombard keys 3 - E - D - C are not functioning.

    I have a PowerBook G3 Lombard. I replaced the Japanese keyboard with a US keyboard. Unfortunately, on the US keyboard the keys 3 - E - D - C are not functioning.  The Japanese keyboard is fine.  The US keyboard appears to be physically fine - clean, keys are responsive, no kinks on the...
