I could probably find you an installation of Enable to try out... it's on 27 5.25" floppies, tho....

Hey, I don't have a mini disk drive, but I'd like to try it out. Can you copy it onto 8 inchers?

Sure. Let me see if I still have that old Shugart drive hanging around in a closet somewhere...

Hey!! did anybody else notice that Tandy/Radio Shack no longer sells 8" media? hmph!

You two, with your UserFriendly avatars and your references to technology that was obsolete before some forum members were born...

I'm not sure; it may have been obsolete before I was born, but my dad brought some old stuff home that they'd just taken out of service (around 1990, I guess, when I was 6), and we tried (in vain) to connect the 8" drives up to an IBM interface, and then turned my sister and I loose on it.

We actually got good at the skills side of computer service quite young, soldering, desoldering, and mechanical work on the delicate mechanisms that tape-eaters and disk drives had back then. The soldering particularly came in handy when we built our YASBEC.

I wired up a Radio Shack Model I to work with an EBCDIC keyboard, back in the day!

no, don't have either one any more...

There is no wi-fi strength. The red/dark red/white bars at the top are the battery charging.

Hi there,

yesterday I changed to the LCARS Theme Tabster commented on.

For me everything works (N810, OS2008) and the only application using hardcoded black text is the standard RSS reader (which I don't use, I like Feedelity better). And WiFi strength is available via clicking on the 802.11 symbol.

Maybe everything works now, as this is a newer version? Get it here:

Apart from just the looks, the sounds are great and it's a whole different experience using the N810!

Finally a usable LCARS implementation! Now my N810 is a real PADD - meaning the coolest device available at the moment. And together with the GPRS-all-data-transfer-inclusive-plan-for-10-Euro-monthly from my mobile provider the N810 is always online - just like a PADD.

Cheers

Looks good Franko. Yep, My post was from a year ago using the old LCARS and OS2007. The latest one works really well, but I still only use it as a toy and not as my default theme.

I guess I'll keep it as my default theme: I really like it when there's a visible difference between "theme" and "content".
