This is the Japanese version of the FloatingNotes package.

What's the point of having notes if they're buried by other application
windows and you can't see them? Sure, Stickies is free, but
FloatingNotes "floats" on top of all other application windows so you
can always see them. FloatingNotes uses no system extension, and best of
all, FloatingNotes is a Carbon application so it works under OS X as
well!
FloatingNotes automatically saves all open notes when you quit. To
delete a note, simply close the window.
FloatingNotes requires OS X, or OS 8 or 9 and CarbonLib 1.3 or later.
CarbonLib is free and can be obtained from your "Software Update"
control panel.
Changes:
1.0.4
*Notes are automatically saved when the application is switched to the
background.
1.0.3
*Fixed a problem with Japanese font display on Mac OS X.

The Program :
RetroactiveCamera
Picture 3D analysis software
The purpose of this program is to help you to paste a 3D rendering in an
already existing picture in a realistic way.
When you want to paste a 3D object in an already existing photography,
the problem is to find a distance and a view angle to obtain the same
perspective as the one of the objects in the picture.
RetroactiveCamera
will help you to find where the photographer was and
what was the view angle and
will create a 3DMF or DXF file integrating a reference object in the
picture and a camera in situation.
By including this model and putting it, with the reference volume, at
the place it must have in your 3D project, the camera will then be
itself located in the right place.

TimeSlice is used for recording time tasks on the Macintosh. TimeSlice is
useful for consultants, attorneys, graphic designers, or anyone who bills
for time, or just wants a simple solution for keeping track of time events.
Click a button to start recording time, and click again to stop. Each time
record contains the date and start/stop time values, as well as client,
category, project, expense, hourly rate and other related information. All
major functions are accessible via a tool bar, and the main window can be
reduced to a very small size. The time-tracking data can be searched,
sorted, and exported for use by other software applications.
TimeSlice is a Carbon application so it works in OS 8.6 - 9.x with CarbonLib
1.3.1 or greater, or OS X.

If you have separate partitions, just startup in OS9 and delete the

There is a more complicated solution in this month's Mac Addict, but
the above method has worked for me.

This is the reply I got from SmartDisk (VST) when I asked the same question:
We do not have any timetable for compatibility of this product with OS X as

Not completely encouraging. I would recommend that any and all
purchasers of the Tempo Ultra-66 PCI IDE card contact VST and make
their interest known. I also called their support staff and received
much the same answer, which was friendly but noncommittal.

If the "small tape recorder" contains its own amplifier, like a
Walkman does, that should've worked. If your "small tape recorder"
is normally plugged into an amp (and the speakers plug into the amp,
not the tape recorder), you need to plug your PowerBook into the amp
as if it were another musical device. (You can use "Aux", for
example).

I use SoundEdit 16 to do mine. From your description of the sound
being too low, I'm pretty sure you were piping in an unamplified
signal.

My experience with the LJ3200M is a parallel to yours with some exceptions.
I agree the hardware is excellent.
I did not check my fonts but as yet have not seen anything untoward. The fax
driver worked from the outset but I have ColourSync permanently installed.
Have you tried putting a sheet of paper into the front copy/fax slot before
booting up with printer on, this invariably triggers HP AIO Communication
menu window for me. My G4 has not hung due to printing.
I could not print in PageMaker without producing pages of rubbish at the top
until I had changed the options to ASCII instead of Binary. HP Support told
me of this and it is in a TIL.
Yes HP AIO Comm is a piece of software needing a bit done to it, have you
updated to the HP printer software dated September 2001. This may solve you
problem as it SEEMS more stable.
Ah! the manual. I ended extracting the Help files and printing them in
colour, nearly a ream on single side. A shame really as for a few bucks more
a book could have been printed. The printer itself is not all that cheap in
Sydney (Australia).
I found that HP support in Oz was not all that good, I was assured they had
a later version of the software and sent me a CD which turned out the be
exactly the same as the original. HOWEVER the email support from the US HP
organisation has been excellent throughout. Their replies came back
overnight and they made plenty of effort to see me through a couple of
problems. So Norbert do not give up on HP just yet!
(Contact me if you have a problem printing in MacOS 10.1 with Classic
running. The problem appears to be with AppleTalk and not the HP software.
It is exercising some of the Apple Techs brains at present.)

Of coure, your speed will be increased. But only your processor will be
faster - the system bus remains the same speed as before. If you
install, say, a G4 of some speed, your Mac won't be as fast as an
"original G4" which has the same processor installed.
So you should deduct some amount from the price difference of a "new"
computer to what you would get when you try to sell yours.

Go to the AppleTalk Control Panel and see if it will let you set it
to Ethernet. Your beige G3 is old enough to have a serial port, and
serial port Macs default to Printer Port for AppleTalk UNLESS there
is not only an ethernet port in existence, but also a valid
connection to another device. (To verify this, try to set up
AppleTalk over Ethernet without the PC being connected, and it should
refuse to do so). If you can set up AppleTalk over Ethernet, you've
got a live port.

Well, if you want only 1 single partition, and no "extras", Apple's
formatter is the best choice. If you ever want to update your OS
version, the driver is automatically updated by the MacOS installer. If
you have used 3rd party formatting software, you need to search for the
correct/recommended version of the formatter for your specific OS
version.
However, Silverlining (from LaCie), Hard Disk Toolkit (from FWB) and
others have some advantages if you partition your drive. The partitions
may be resized (provided they are not full, of course) without
initializing the drive. This is not possible with Apple's formatter.
There may be other advantages which I do not remember at the moment. I
have never used Anubis. I am a long-time user of Silverlining (SL pro
6.3.2 at the moment), and friends are using HDT successfully.
Best wishes, Christian.

not sure what the problem might be, but in my experience OE works much more
smoothly if i rebuild my database on a regular schedule. from what you
mentioned, it doesn't sound like you've tried this (and may not know how
it's done). as OE starts up, hold down the opt key. you will be prompted
with some dialog, just hit "ok". OE will proceed to "clean-up" your files.
another point you may not be aware of is the location of the *real* info
that OE is cleaning. on your hard disk (it may be the startup disk
only...can't remember) you will find a "Documents" folder. navigate down
until you come to the "Main Identity" folder. herein, you will find the
files containing all of your messages, signatures, rules, addresses,
schedules, etc. i make it a point to back-up this folder on a *very* regular
basis.
the strange part about the "Messages" database is that it holds files that
have been deleted from within the app. these files are not *completely*
eliminated until you do the opt key thing. if you have been using OE for a
while, you may find this file to be terribly bloated & in desperate need of
some cleaning up. my "Messages" are typically between 60 & 100mb--it has
reached as high as 150mb+. once OE has optimized, compressed, & whatever
else it does after the opt key trick, you will find files appended with
"Old" in the "Main Identity" folder. once you are sure everything is working
appropriately with your email, you can dump these "Old" files. depending on
the nature & volume of your email you may find that you have drastically
reduced the size of your info.
