Hey guys,

I was just wondering, I have the most unusual problem with the Satellite
5005-S504.  Everything is fine with the computer itself it seems, but when I
go to play a game of Quake 3 (or most any other hardcore 3D rendering game),
it seems they seem to get sluggish and slow down then speed back up.
Sometimes it plays fine for a long time, then it slows down and it gets
almost unplayable.  Vey annoying.  Anyway the thing is, I have sent the
laptop to Toshiba 4 times already and each time it comes back and does the
same thing.  They have replaced the motherboard, memory, video card, etc..
basically a whole new machine now.  Still seems to do the same thing.  Here
is a good example.. when playing Quake 3.. I will run a timedemo (Quake is
latest patch of 1.30) and the scores seem to flucuate.

High Quality settings.
FPS timedemo1; demo four --- 80fps
"                                               80fps
                                                80fps
                                                80
                                                40
                                                80
                                                40
... and so on..
so that's not right is it? It seems odd it'd do something like that.  Anyone
out there have a clue to why the games would slow down and become sluggish
all the sudden?? This laptop has a Geforce 2 Go with 16mb.  If anyone can
help, I'd really appreciate it!!

PS -- I DO have the latest video drivers from Toshiba!

TIA

So my guess would be heat. You bios slows your processor down when
it gets too hot.

I don't know if there is a fix from this... I think the fact that your
machine just slows down instead of crashing IS the fix. I also read
somewhere that thermal paste could be placed on the processor.

Does anyone know if this problem exists with the 5105-S607 with the
mobil Pentium IV and GeForce4 440Go ?

Do you have the latest BIOS installed? There was a version
1.20 (I think) a month or two ago that was supposed to fix the
shut-down problem, and a new version 1.35 (I think, again)
just this week addressing the heat issue. Toshiba claimed that
the BIOS was shutting the unit down before the fan could ramp
up to reduce temp.

Do you have your Toshiba Power Saver utility set to maximum
cooling? There are settings which reduce CPU speed instead of
increasing fan speed, obviously you don't want that <grin>.

Hi all,
after almost three years of service my IBM Deskstar DTLA-307030 has
finally failed me. The BIOS of all machines I tested it on doesn't
recognise the harddisk at all.

The harddisk itself makes a clacking noise, rythm much like a heart
beat.

IBM (or better Hitachi) will replace it for me, but what about the
data? There were a few things on the drive that I haven't backed up.

I will try and get the same model second hand to try and swap the
controller card. I don't think the controller card thingy will work,
but have to try anyway. Is there anything else I can do?

Thanks to anybody willing to cheer me up.

subject: Coding recommendations from you

text:
I have a base class into which I'm coding a number of my companies
standard business rules into.  This class is used time and time again
amongs all the other processing classes.  There are multiple fields
that have a static number of values.  For example, something called the
house/rental indicator can only have values of H|R|P|F|S|<blank>.

The first suggestion I'm seeking is how to properly code for those
values.  I've started by coding the following constants, followed by
the validation routine.  I would like the individual values available
for testing (IF X=House, etal...), but I also wanted all of them in a
group so the field presented can tested in one function (.index).  What
do you suggest?

   # List type acceptable values
    House = 'H'		# House list indicator
    Rental = 'R'	# Rental list indicator
    Purge = 'P'		# Purge list indicator
    Flag = 'F'		# Flag list indicator
    Seed = 'S'		# Seed list indicator
    ValidHrInd = Flag+House+Purge+Rental+Seed

    def Standards.valid_hrind?(id)
      return true if (id.length == 1 && ValidHrInd.index(id))
      false
    end

On the heels of that is the second recommendation I am seeking.  This
standards class is used over and over again.  I was hoping that I could
code the require 'standards.rb' into each class that will require it.
This way, if I have a module that needs multiple classes and some of
them (or all of them) require the standards.rb, then the classes have
taken care of their own requirements.  But with the constants coded in
standards.rb, I get warning messages that the constants are being
reassigned for each require 'standards.rb'.  What is the best way to
have a class define its own requirements?

== module DataCard.rb ==
require 'standards.rb'
class DataCard
...
end

== module Project.rb ==
require 'standards.rb'
class Project
...
end

Thanks for your time and advice,
dvn

Thank you.  I like this implementation:

 VALID_HR_INDICATORS = [
   HOUSE = 'H',
   RENTAL = 'R',
   PURGE = 'P',
   FLAG = 'F',
   SEED = 'S',
].freeze

It provides readability and future maintainability.  Using :H and :R
don't really convey the meaning in code that I am looking for, where
HOUSE and RENTAL do.  Beside, I was not getting a crystal clear picture
of how to use symbols from the documentation and online available.

With regards to the classes, here is what is happening.  I have
developed a script for users to use.  Users, as you know, are not
programmers.  So I want everything to be as clear as possible.

require 'Standards' # would like to eliminate the need for this
require 'FLCXLS' # requires Standards, and it requires Card which also
requires standards
require 'Project'   # requires Standards
require 'net/ftp' # would like to bury this in FLCXLS

# setup project details
prj=Project.new
prj.client="LEN119"
prj.proj="66354"
prj.user="DONN"
prj.run="01"
prj.dept="IM"
prj.networkfolder=("K:\\LEN119 Lenox Collections\\List
Processing\\projects\\66354 SPRING TREASURY #5")

# describe xls spreadsheet
xls = FLCXLS.new
xls.Keycode 'd'
xls.Description 'e'
xls.Type 'x'
xls.Priority 'w'
xls.Subtype 'y'

# Changes to apply before building
xls.ChangeFromTo("collection","clctn")
xls.ChangeFromTo("catalog","catlg")
xls.ChangeFromTo("touch of class","toc")

# Build FLC/PRTY cards and write them to the specified destination
# (client's network folder)
xls.BuildFlcCards(prj.networkfolder,"#{prj.deptrun}_flc_cards.txt")
xls.BuildPrtyCards(prj.networkfolder,"#{prj.deptrun}_prty_cards.txt")

The proper implementation would be to have the require 'Standards' in
the Project.rb, FLCXLS.rb, and Card.rb.  Each has its own requirement
of Standards, and buries that need within itself.  There is not reason
for requiring the use of "require Standards" in this module.  It should
be transparent.  But the warning messages hinder that kind of
implementation...unless I'm not implementing it correctly.

In my opinion, I should be able to get this modules requirements down
to just "require 'Project' and require 'FLCXLS'.  The others should be
hidden.

Thanks again for everything.

You can omit the duplicate test.  This smells like premature

Why don't you just use symbols for that?

VALID_HR_INDICATORS = [:H, :R, :P, :F, :S].freeze

# this method is barely worth defining
def self.valid_hr_indicator? ind
   VALID_HR_INDICATORS.include? ind
end

Another option:
VALID_HR_INDICATORS = [
   HOUSE = 'H',
   RENTAL = 'R',
   PURGE = 'P',
   FLAG = 'F',
   SEED = 'S',
].freeze

(test method like above)

Other than that there are some implementations of the enum pattern in
the RAA if you need more fancy stuff.

Um, a file is required at most once - so you normally cannot have this
warning.  What do you really do in your code?

Btw, you can simply write "require 'standards'".  You don't need the
file extension.

If you're looking for an editor for OS-9 that's better than
the built-in line editor, you can still get Bob van der Poel's
Ved which is an OS-9 editor.  See his webpage at

Buying a copy from him would save having to track down a
used copy of some other editor.  And the money I spent on
Radio Shack's TS/Edit was a waste of money, and the money I
spent on Computerware's Screen Star was a partial waste of
money (it was fairly good, but not perfect; however, I kept
doing something that made it blow up), but the final editor
I bought for OS-9 was Bob's VED, and there is nothing bad
I could say about it.

the RSDOS has been modified for pseudo double sided operation (meaning
the second side of the disk is accessed as a differente DRIVE number)
VIP Writer will work with no problems.

VIP software does not run under OS9 though. You could launch the
program by typing up DOS in the CoCo, the software just uses the
special boot hook on disk called by the DOS command.

The best way to do this is to use the X-Forwarding feature of ssh
(OpenSSH, in my case).

You cannot do it using telnet, since you the X Server can't send packets
to your NAT'd IP.

if u try to connect any network through internet then that pc must

Telnet to the server in question and issue the necessary command to view

Your router is performing a NAT function. It should translate the

external IP address and the your workstation's IP address.

subject: Change failover IP adresses on ASA

text:
Hello,

I was wondering about the effects of changing the failover IP address on
a set of ASA's in failover mode.

The reason why I want to change it: I want to run RIP between the ASA's
and a set of VPN concentrators, and if I add the network config
(10.0.0.0, too bad I can't use subnets there even with RIPv2), I get the
error that you can't run RIP on the failover interface, so I want to
move that interface out of 10.0.0.0/8.

Now, if no one objects to that reasoning :-), I am wondering how I can
best do this, since the 2 ASA's are 60km apart, and unfortunately I
don't have 2 spare devices available to test it on.

So... which of the 3 scenario's would be the right one and (that would
be really nice) tested by someone in real life:

1. run "failover interface ip failover 172.31.1.1 255.255.255.0 standby
172.31.1.2" on the active ASA, config is sent to other ASA, write mem,
all is happy

2. run "failover interface ip failover 172.31.1.1 255.255.255.0 standby
172.31.1.2" on both ASA's at the same time, failover starts running on
the new IP addresses, write mem, all is happy

3. have someone connected at each ASA, disconnect the standby one,
connect serial console, run the command there, run it on the online ASA,
reconnect the standby on, all are happy except for the person who has to
drive back :-)

Thanks in advance,

Greetings

Mark

1. Why do you want to run RIP? It is extremely chatty, No support for
VLSM, only does classfull routing, and your limitied by hop count as
to how many hops it will remember. I would run OSPF instead. OSPF is
not vendor specific so you can run other non-cisco devices in your
network, it will route VLSM, along with route summarization.

Are your ASA's configured for Active/Active or Active/Standby?

http://www.cisco.com/application/pdf/paws/110894/asa-active-failover-transparent.pdf
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/vpndevc/ps2030/products_configuration_example09186a00807dac5f.shtml

Here are my .02. Are you changing the interface address you have
configured also or just the failover standby address? So long as your
only changing the failover ip then just ssh into the interface ip
address of the secondary pix and then make the failover changes on the
standy unit. then save the changes. the standy unit will still be up
and running, it just wont be an active failover partner at this point.
Now make your changes on the primary unit.


subject: Re: Change failover IP adresses on ASA

text:
The wise Techno_Guy enlightened me with:

Actually, RIPv2 is classless, and hopcount is good enough for what I
want to achieve.
But to answer your (valid) questions: on the VPN concentrator you can do
RIP and OSPF. As I understand it (please correct me if I am wrong), I
can use only RIP to distribute routes to the outside world. OSPF is
available, but only to get routes from the outside world into your
VPN Concentrators. I have 2 of them in a VPN Cluster, but I need a way
on the backside (private interface) to communicate it to the ASA.
Currently we use static routes, but of course that breaks when one of
the concentrators is down.

Active/Standby

OK, so I could make it a two-step action. Actually I'm changing both
addresses (both addresses in the failover statement will change).
Overall it's not that bad if the secondary unit is not capable of
failover for a few minutes, as long as I can still reach it on the
management interface, and it doesn't start playing the active unit on
its side of the network :-)

Maybe I'll go for the semi-smart solution. Wait for some maintenance we
have to do anyway, soonish. When someone is there and we announced it
anyway, I can do the maintenance, see if it works as intended and if
not, have someone around who can pull a cable and do stuff on the
console.

Not entirely sure, although i would check to see what version of gcc

I recommend you install the kgcc rpm and set CC=kgcc in the MakeFile and

subject: My original IIGS monitor just blew up!

text:
After finally getting the game Moebius back on to 5.25" floppies with
ADTPro, I had a marathon of it on my IIGS this eve. After 2.5 hours,
the monitor started making a schlorpy sound. This became hissing,
which became smoke and a flash and a bang. My monitor died and emitted
a horrible smell. Fortunately I was able to save my game just before I
could no longer see...

However, I now need to get a new VDU for my IIGS.

I was wondering what kind of options I have? Is there something modern
I could jury-rig or connect it to with an adapter cable? I'd probably
rather do something like that than try to find another original IIGS
monitor which will necessarily also be 20+ years old at this point.
Plus they're so small :)

I can't believe that monitor, and my IIGS, are 21 years old this year.

Seems like every year or two I get hit with a bad case of Nostalgia and I go hunting for old Apple II gear.  As some of you may or may not recall, a couple of years ago I bought an Ambery RGB to VGA converter box so I can have a backup in case my GS monitor dies.  The Ambery box worked well enough for games, but the Finder desktop (640x200) had pretty nasty artifacts (vertical stripes).

So this year I found another solution, actually found it on an Amiga forum, they recommended the GBS-8220.  I just ordered it from Jamma Boards for $40, which is less than half of the Ambery box.  I will post pictures of this unit when I get it.  I'm hoping the Finder artifacts will be resolved!

http://www.jammaboards.com/store/rgb-cga-ega-yuv-to-vga-converter-pcb-gbs-8220/prod_291.html

disclaim: I don't work for either Ambery or Jamma Boards.

Hi,

Sorry to hear about your monitor :(. I learnt to solder last year and
its a great skill to have and I would suggest you maybe start with
some hobby kits (i bought a couple from Maplins). Since I have
acquired at least a basic level i have been able to repair a couple of
power supplies (one of them was exactly as Michael said in the fact
one tiny capacitor was at fault) as well as some other vintage
consoles..then again making the IIGS sound cards gave me a quick
learning curve lol.

It looks like you are in Australia? if so you should have Scart (iirc)
available to you as an option and is the best current offering beyond
IIGS monitor, though i still prefer the look and feel of the GS
monitor and still use one. You can either make a GS - Scart cable or
buy one from http://vintageware.orconhosting.net.nz/scart.html

If you want a VGA connection i think the general consensus om the
forum is the current best GS option is the scart -> VGA  Highway 100
box or CM-345s (http://tinyurl.com/6dny6yq)  units (same units
basically..i picked one of ebay relatively cheaply when i was looking
for alternatives). There has been lots of discussion on the forum
about using other display devices so do a search as well. If you want
to see some pics of a Scart based TV/LCD check out http://drewbiegs.wordpress.com/
and look under categories for GS monitors.

I tested a lot of monitors and stuck with the smaller LCDs to get best
picture, but one monitor i was impressed with if you want to reduce
desk space and use it as a normal computer monitor is the Samsung T200-
HD (T220-HD as well) as they have a scart socket as well as most other
types for modern computing, but the GS screen looks quite blown up at
the higher screen sizes.

Also worth reading this article if you want have a play making your
own GS -> component box. http://tinyurl.com/5rwp5lp

The guys that have worked on the Apple IIe/IIc to VGA adapter are
working on a GS one at some point, so the problem might go away going
forward :)

Good Luck

Because it's multisync I can also use it with other equipment such as

The horrible smell suggests to me that you have a problem which
is pretty easy to fix.

It sounds like the 0.2uF "X2"-type capacitor across the AC line
input in the power supply has shorted (momentarily, before burning
out).  The current drawn to accomplish this blew the line fuse.

To fix it, you need to open the power supply (don't know whether
this is open in the monitor box or contained in a smaller metal box).

Look near where the AC power enters the power supply.  You'll find
a blown fuse and a still-stinky damaged looking prismatic plastic
capacitor on the board.  This capacitor should be unsoldered and
examined for its capacitance and voltage ratings--you'll need to
order a replacement (or two ;-).

When the capacitor is removed, you can replace the fuse and try the
monitor--it should power up and operate normally.

When the replacement capacitor arrives, solder it in and you're
good to go.

This kind of failure is relatively common to many kinds of older
computer equipment with switching power supplies.

It's worth repeating:  almost all failures of electronic equipment
are the result of the failure of a single component, with possible
collateral damage to one or two immediately adjacent components.

Learning to repair vintage electronic equipment is almost necessary
if you plan to keep it in working condition.  The web is your friend!

Also, "preventive" replacement is usually folly--"If it ain't broke,
don't fix it."  After it's broken, the problem is much easier to
identify!  ;-)

Thanks Michael.

Well, I opened the monitor up hoping things would be easy to identify,
but my electronic component knowledge comes from one term I did in
year 9 at school. It wasn't evident to me what was what, or if it was
elsewhere under metal casing, etc. I also tried using cursory 'smell
power'. This is very unreliable but I got the feeling the other side
(away from the power supply inlet) smelled worse. But when there was
the flash and bang, it seemed to come from that other side.

Your post has got me interested in starting to acquire skills in this
area (and to learn to solder), but I am well far from any ability or
ability to accurately diagnosis at this time. Maybe I can get a repair
guy to do this one for me.

To other readers, I'm still interested in hearing about possibilities
to connect a IIGS to other kinds of displays, monitors and TVs as
well.

If you can find someone who works (worked) on TV sets, he/she can
probably do the job.  The capacitor is the "line filter" capacitor
and must be of the "X2" type so that it burns out when it fails
(instead of becoming a dead short on the AC line, depending entirely
on the fuse for protection).

BTW, I usually have to "air out" the device for a couple of weeks
after removing the failed capacitor, so I can stand to be in the
same room with it.  ;-)

There are other possible failures that begin with arcing and end
with poof/bang, but the bad smell really identifies the impregnant
in these X2 capacitors.

When I was getting things hooked up I went to test it out to make sure

As already pointed out, this topic has been covered -- fully and to

If you want to ignore the whitespace, I would create a 'trim' function.
I took this one off http://www.codeproject.com/vcpp/stl/stdstringtrim.asp.

void trim2(string& str)
{
   string::size_type pos = str.find_last_not_of(' ');
   if(pos != string::npos) {
     str.erase(pos + 1);
     pos = str.find_first_not_of(' ');
     if(pos != string::npos) str.erase(0, pos);
   }
   else str.erase(str.begin(), str.end());
}

Now you can do something like:

#include <iostream>

static void trim(std::string &str) {
     std::string::size_type pos = str.find_last_not_of(' ');

     if (pos != std::string::npos) {
         str.erase(pos + 1);
         pos = str.find_first_not_of(' ');

         if (pos != std::string::npos) {
             str.erase(0, pos);
         }
     } else {
         str.erase(str.begin(), str.end());
     }
}

int main(int, char **) {
     std::string s;
     std::string::size_type len;

     std::cout << "enter some string: ";
     std::getline(std::cin, s);
     trim(s);
     len = s.length();
     std::cout << len << std::endl;

     return 0;
}

True.  You can even run the DOS Partition Magic directly from the CDROM if

I was a beta tester for both PM v5 and v6 and my big complaint was that
the script to build the boot diskettes was a .BAT file, which meant that
if you ran it from an OS/2 command prompt, it would launch a DOS session
to create the disks.  This was totally unnecessary, as the process could
be done completely in OS/2 *IF* the script were present as a .CMD file.
That's right; simply renaming the makedisk.bat script to makedisk.cmd
allows it to run without opening a DOS session, which is useful for those
of us who have PROTECTONLY=YES configured on their systems.  You'd think
it would be a simple matter to put a makedisk.cmd file on the CD with the
makedisk.bat file to make it easier for OS/2 users, but I never could
persuade them to do that.

text:
Hello to all:

I'm working on a MWL and a MPPS server. I have been readed the PS 3.4
Annex K, PS 4.3 F.7, PS 3.17 Annex J (formely called Annex M of PS
3.4), related IHE transactions and IHE vol. II Appendix A, etc...

After these readings, there are something that makes me to doubt: what
must be the value of attributes inside the Referenced Study Sequence
that a MWL server shall return to the modality?

The IHE recomendacion IHE-23 of Appendix A in the Radiology Technical
Framework said us what will be the value for the Referenced Study SOP
Instance UID:

"(IHE-23) In the Query Modality Worklist provided by an Order Filler,
the Referenced Study Sequence shall contain only one item. Furthermore,
the Study SOP Instance UID contained in the Referenced Study Sequence
shall contain the same UID value as the Study Instance UID for a
Requested Procedure. This UID value is also conveyed to the Image
Manager in the Study UID field of the Procedure Scheduled transaction."

But it doesn't mention the value for Referenced SOP Class UID. It could
be expected that this value is the SOP Class UID of the products that
the scheduled modality will be produce (e.g. Referenced SOP Class UID =
1.2.840.10008.5.1.4.1.1.2 for a CT modality). However, how about a
modality that it can to create several storage SOP Classes?

I hope that I have been explain my doubt and thanks in advance

How closely I listen to what is said is another matter. The removal of

of us are still on XP, and IE is one of the supported browsers in our

Why do we stay on XP? Most of the hardware supplied to us came with a
Vista licence. For most of us (me for example) XP contains all we
need, and performs better on the hardware that we have. So our systems
have XP installed on them before we collect them. At my age this has
been welcome, as I've now had a stable XP system for nearly 11 years.

Newer hardware comes with a Windows7 licence, so we're letting the
rolling renewal process take us to Win7. The end of service for XP
will force an acceleration in that process, but my own end-of-service
date (retirement) means that I'll likely stay on XP until I get my own
PC.

subject: Forms fields - Autofill / Autosearch / Autolookup

text:
Dear Gurus,

Considering I've spent a good day now trying to find this answer I'm
resorting to asking for help.  The scenario:

A simple form for entering daily events (Events Table), and you assign
the event to a person in a field using a PersonID lookup to a "Person"
Table.  I can get it to do a drop down list of all people but what I'd
like it to be able to enter the first few letters of a persons name
and for it to suggest the rest.  Eg.  For "Dean" when I start typing
"De" it fills in the rest or gives me a short list of matching
possibities, ie. Dean, Denise, Derik etc.

I've seen this done in access and want to replicate it.

The answer to this above should I'm assuming answer two other
questions along similar lines;
1.  How in a field on a form do you get it to autolookup what you
enter and return the matching results?
2.  How do you designate the difference that a form (or field) is an
input only form, or a entry-query-return_result type form?

I've spent considering time trying to find this so I'm assuming I'm
overlooking something simple at this stage or am having trouble
finding it because i'm unfamiliar with the terminology that describes
this process.

Thanks in advance for any pointers.

Regards,
Buddha

subject: Re: Forms fields - Autofill / Autosearch / Autolookup

text:
By far the easiest way to do this is the Combo Box Wizard, which is brought
up automagically when you put a combo box on your form (unless you've turned
it off).  Just choose the default "I want the combo box to look up values
from a table."

The 'Autoexpand' property should be set to yes (this is what finds the match
based on the first letters).

Access automatically creates code for the form

If you use a bound form, theree is an additional option in the wizard, "Find
a record on my form based on the value I selected in my combo box."  Access
creates code like this to find a record:

    Dim rs As Object
    Set rs = Me.Recordset.Clone
    rs.FindFirst "[off_id] = " & Str(Nz(Me![Combo0], 0))
    If Not rs.EOF Then Me.Bookmark = rs.Bookmark

I don't know if this wizard was available in Access 2.0.

Darryl,

Thanks, I got to work and realised in the process a minor oversight
that was creating the problem.

I had created a relationship in the tables for the PersonID field to
do a lookup and return the persons name in the ID field when viewed.
This created the impression the field contained "Dean" when really it
was like an ID "1".  Hence trying to autolookup by typing "De" was
unsuccessful.  I removed the field in the form, swapped it for the
"Person" field and created the link back using a simple query on
"PersonID".

Thanks for your help.

Hello,

Does anyone has experience with the Lacie Photon's? In particular the
photon19vision. I'm looking at buying a 19" LCD to hook up to my

(so can't afford an Apple cinema display or Eizo ColorEdge). Any input

BTW - I'm also looking at:

Make sure you can return it if you don't like how it works for you. The
image quality of LCDs is significantly different than CRTs. For many people
this is not a barrier but for many it is. Color fidelity is not always the
issue so much as judging subtle tonal differences when you are regionally
adjusting shadows, contrast or curves. Current technology is such that a
good CRT is still significantly better than most LCDs for displaying wide
tonality.

I have an NEC-Mitsubishi LCD1760NX, and it's an excellent monitor. Good
response time; everything looks clear and bright. My only complaint about
LCD monitors in general is that the picture is very sensitive to the
vertical viewing angle, which can cause trouble with color calibration if
you're not careful.

It's hard to say. NEC-Mitsubishi even has monitors with different specs
within their own product line (i.e. 1960NX vs. 1980SX).

The L767 is excellent and will do the job. But, note that I just read
a review for the L768 which I assume is it's replacement, and an
improvement on the 767.  However, the price is still about the same.
You will get superb colour rendition which is accurate with almost any

Thanks for all the replies.

Hecate, can you please provide the link to the review. I'd like to
have a look.

Looking at the specs the only difference I saw between the 2 models
was the 768 has the rotate to portrait format option and a contrast
ratio of 1000:1 as opposed to the 767 which has a contrast of 500:1
and no rotate option. Is there anything else?

I'm not sure anymore what's the significance of the contrast rating.
Eizo's best color lcd (CG18 and 21) has a contrast of 400:1. Which
leads me to assume that it is better for this ratio of be lower. Can
anyone explain how this works?

It did say the response rate was on the slow side for games players,
but that's not why you'd buy this.

As far as I can tell.  However, the improvement from 500:1 is
significant and if you're going to spend a fair amount of money on
purchasing this it may be wise to think of the future. OTOH, it'll
probably mean you can the L767 for less. ;-)

Actually, no. The higher the ratio the better:

The Contrast Ratio is equivalent to the brightness of the white level
divided by the brightness of the black level of a display. A higher
contrast ratio makes it easier to distinguish dark colours from one
another.

So, the higher ratio gives you better colour separation and
definition.

Hope that helps.

}[email]

As I pointed out, the startup for that is optional. It works
without it, just not starting up quite as quickly as the image
and message file are not installed (in the sense of "having had
the INSTALL command used on it").

The "Yeah, and how do you tell if the C compiler is "up"?"
question is simply not actually useful - it is always "up"
if it is  installed (in the sense of "installing the software
on the system via PRODUCT INSTALL or VMSINSTAL" rather than
"using the INSTALL command to make the image a known image").
You can't log in and find no C compiler if it was there when
the system shut down (or, at least, if you do you have a lot
more to worry about than that since your system disk is probably
in very bad shape - booting at all was quite possible a one-last-time
type miraculous event).

But if you want to make sure that the startup file has run, then
that is easy to check for: you check to see if the compiler image
has been installed (in the sense of "having had the INSTALL command
used on it", discovered perhaps via somthing like the use of
F$FILE_ATTRIBUTES("SYS$SYSTEM:DECC$COMPILER.EXE","KNOWN")).

This is preciecely why there is no "just do this" solution. Every
system's selection of software is different and requires you to
decide what you mean by "up" for each pice of software individually.
What you mean by "up" may not be what I mean by "up". If you don't
want anybody to be able to log in until the C startup has installed
the images, then you have to check to see if the images are installed.
If you don't care if they have been installed or not (since it'll
work anyway) before the users log in then you don't have to check it.
