Hello All Tinkpadders!
I have a slight problem.... One of my so-called Co-Workers has screwed with
my TP750c. I
had to re-install Windows 95 now ll is well again except that I no longer
have the
audio! What happened? I do not really want to dwell to deep into system
registry... I
tried to re-install the audio for the TP and that didn't help.
I am sure that someone in TP land has had to go through this. So, any hints
before I
start tinkering on my own?
Tahnks in Advance...

Hi fellow 'netters,
My name is Nicola du Plessis and I recently started using a magazine
subscription club in the USA that has a FREE 1 yr. magazine subscription
deal with your first paid order- and I have been very pleased with them.
They have over 1,500 different USA titles that they can ship to any country
on a subscription basis. As for computer magazines from the USA, they
more of a selection than I ever knew even existed. They have magazines for
most every area of interest in their list of 1,500 titles.
Within the USA, for their USA members, they are cheaper than all their
competitors and even the publishers themselves. This is their price
guarantee.
Overseas, on the average, they are generally around one-fourth to one-half
of what the newsstands overseas charge locally for USA magazines. On some
titles they are as little as one-tenth of what the newsstands charge. They
feel that mgazines should not be a luxury overseas. In the USA, people
buy magazines and then toss them after reading them for just a few minutes
or hours. They are so cheap in the USA! Well, this company would like to
make it the same way for their overseas members. They are also cheaper
than all their competitors in the USA and overseas, including the
publishers themselves! This is their price guarantee. Around one-half
their business comes from overseas, so they are very patient with new
members who only speak limited English as a 2nd language.
Their prices are so cheap because they deal direct with each publisher and
cut-out all the middlemen.
They will send you their DELUXE EMAIL CATALOGUE (around 525K-big and
juicey) !)...if you completely fill out the form above. It has lists of
all the freebies, lists of all the titles they sell, titles broken down by
categories and detailed descriptions on nearly 1,200 of the titles that
they sell.
Please do not email me as I am just a happy customer and a *busy* student.
I don't have time to even complete my thesis in time, let alone run my
part-time software business! Please fill out the above form and carefully
follow the intructions above to get it to them via fax or smail.
They guarantee to beat all their competitors' prices. Sometimes they are
less than half of the next best deal I have been able to find and other
times, just a little cheaper - but I have never found a lower rate yet.
They assured me that if I ever do, they will beat it.
They have been very helpful and helped me with all my address changes as I
haved moved from one country to another.
They have a deal where you can get a free 1 yr. sub to a new magazine from
a special list of over 295 popular titles published in the USA. They will
give you this free 1 yr. sub when you place your first paid order with them
to a renewal or new subscription to any of the over 1,500 different popular
USA titles they sell.
They can arrange delivery to virtually any country and I think they have
clients in around 45 or 46 countries now. Outside the USA there is a
charge for FPH (foreign postage and handling) (on both paid and freebie
subs) that varies from magazine to magazine. I have found their staff to
be very friendly and courteous. They even helped me with an address change
when I moved from one country to another.
The owner thinks of his service as a "club" and his clients as "members"
(even though there is no extra fee to become a member - your first purchase
automatically makes you a member) and he is real picky about who he accepts
as a new member. When he sets you up as a new member, he himself calls
you personally on the phone to explain how he works his deal, or sometimes
he has one of his assistants call. He is kind of quirky sometimes - he
insists on setting up new members by phone so he can say hi to everyone (I
sure wouldn't want to have his phone bills!), but you can place future
orders (after your first order) via E-mail.
He has some really friendly young ladies working for him, who seem to know
just as much as he does about this magazine stuff. If you live overseas,
he will even call you there, as long as you are interested, but I think he
still makes all his overseas calls on the weekends, I guess cause the long
distance rates are cheaper then.
He only likes to take new members from referrals from satisfied existing
members and he does virtually no advertising. When I got set-up, they had
a 2-3 week waiting list for new members to be called back so that they
could join up. (Once you are an existing member, they help you immediately
when you call. ) I think they are able to get back to prospective new
members the same day or within a few days now, as they have increased
their staff. I am not sure about this.........but if you email the above
form to them, that is the way to get started!
They will send you their DELUXE EMAIL CATALOGUE (around 525K-big and
juicey) !)...if you completely fill out the form above. It has lists of
all the freebies, lists of all the titles they sell, titles broken down by
categories and detailed descriptions on nearly 1,200 of the titles that
they sell.
They then send you email that outlines how his club works and the list of
free choices that you can choose from, as well as the entire list of what
he sells; and then they will give you a quick (3-5 minute) friendly,
no-pressure no-obligation call to explain everything to you personally and
answer all your questions.
Once you get in, you'll love them. I do.
Sincerely,
Nicola du Plessis

I have a recently purchased, demo 701cs 486 DX4. I have been a mac user,
and have been so fed up with the quality of their powerbooks that I have
decided to go bi-platform, keeping my powermac desktop and purchasing the
tp. I haven't loaded any software on it, and from the posts of this
group, it sounds like I'll be having a lot of fun putting W95 on. My
bios revision is BUTUS3H.
Do I have to revise the bios to get the Windows 95 going?
Also, I would love to be able to transfer files between the two different
platforms without having to use floppies. Sounds like the Jeteye has
worked for you, Chris. How much can you actually acomplish with this
set-up? Can I use the CD ROM on my Macintosh and transfer stuff to my
thinkpad (a Windows 95 upgrade CD, for example)? Can I transfer MS Word
documents back and forth this way? What do you mean when you say
"It only communicates at 115200, so unless
your software (and serial port) can do that, you won't be able to
use it."
Any warnings before I start configuring this sweet machine, considering
my stats?
Thank you in advance.
Daniel

G'day Terry,
I had the same problem a while ago. I spoke to IBM about it and they told me
that I had to reinstall the audio through Win 3.x and then reinstall Win 95
(something to do with the difficulty of writing an inf file. Hassle huh! I
tend to keep an installation copy of Win 95 on my hard drive for moments
like these. As my copy of Win 95 is on CD-Rom so I had to transfer the files
using Dos interlink program. It's better than using floppies.

Well, most of my problems came from trying to get Win95 to coexist with
other OSes (DOS, Linux). The actual install of Win95 went pretty
smoothly. It failed to recognize some of my hardware the second time
around, but running the "add new hardware" thing-a-ma-jig fixed it.
If you're really into tinkering, you can get Executor for DOS or Linux
and run System 6 Mac apps on your Thinkpad. You should've seen the
look on my (Mac-only) friend's face when he saw a working Mac desktop
on my Thinkpad. ;)

Probably a good idea to flash it up to 3N or 3O. There are a couple
fixes for annoying bugs (like the computer coming out of suspend every
time you shake it).

I'm not Chris, but...
The IrDA stuff is just a serial connection, which is good for hardware.
I believe the newer Mac powerbooks also support it so it shouldn't be
too difficult to find IrDA hardware for your desktop Mac.
But because it's just a serial connection, cross-platform software might
be a problem. You could use modem programs on the Mac and Thinkpad to
transfer files. Things like Laplink or Windows' built-in networking are
unlikely to work. TCP/IP would probably work if you got both computers
to think the IrDA serial port was a SLIP or PPP connection. You might
be able to get NFS running this way. The best solution would be a
software package designed to link a Mac to a PC via a serial null-modem
cable. I don't know if any exist.
