I am wondering what happened to all those wonderful (new) Dauphin DTR-1
owners out there... for a while we saw all sorts of nifty stuff be
written for the DTR-1, an FAQ was expected but never surfaced, and
hints/tips specifically for the DTR-1 was expected....
Whatever happened to all that enthusiasm! Is it perhaps the Holiday
Spirits and Preparations keeping everyone too busy to post any more ??
I am still interested in corrsponding with any DTR-1 user out there.
Via Email or even as penpals.
I have been using my DTR-1 to develop small scales programs.
I have used Microsoft[Quick] C, and QuickBASIC, and VBforDOS,
all with terrific success!
I find graphics surprisingly intriguing on the DTR-1. What are your
experiences ?
Although I mainly use DOS exclusively, (and we all know how bad
Microsoft WinDoze is (up to and including Win 95)) I do tend to
explore Windows 3.1 a little.
DOS is less demanding of the batteries (explains why I get my
two+ solid hours _everytime_ and others don't. Windoze seems to
demand too much of the humble Dauphin ( although with the upgrade
things are much better!).
So lets hear from you soon okay. Thats one powerful little system
(don't let others tell you otherwise!).
HINT for the day:
To help conserve PenCell battery life, remove the first top-most
battery (place it in a safe place). This prevents accidental
activation of the PenCell when not in use and will considerably
extend the life of the batteries.
