Practical replacements for Project.

by Keller, Tim

I recently purchased the codeweavers office suite and I'm really happy with it. Stat office did everything I needed except for two apps, Outlook and Project. Outlook works perfectly under it (as you can see) but I haven't found a suitable replacement for project. Does anybody have any suitable work arounds or solutions to getting it to work with project. (I've attempted an install but get stone walled with errors and have logged a ticket) Thanks, Tim.

usb question

by Wes Allen

Hi all. MY usb ports used to work under linux in my HP notebook, it would hot-plug and everything. Now, it detects the devices I plug in, tries to register them, and then they disappear. I can acutally watch this with usb view. Any ideas what might be causing this? Wes

I've been happy with www.gandi.net. About $12 a domain, no hassles, excellent service. - Rob On Friday 20 September 2002 09:30 pm, Theo Van Dinter wrote: > On Fri, Sep 20, 2002 at 09:13:25PM -0400, Michael Kingsbury wrote: > > Who's the preferred name registrar now a days? > > I use OpenSRS (or a friend who's a reseller for them anyway), two > thumbs up. > > I used Dotster without any complaints a year or two ago, one thumb up. > > Register.com has annoyed me by sending "Your domain will be expiring > soon, renew now!" postal mails, in a nasty slamming attempt since I've > never used register.com.

Re: [Wlug] Slight O/T: Preferred Registrar?

by Gary Hanley

I was "given" namesbeyond.com when I grabbed hanley.net via snapnames.com on one impulsive spring day. I really can't say they are good ot bad not having a whole lot of experience with registrars...but I haven't had any problems with them. However, I am confused as to why there are so may registrars and how they all make money. -- Gary ----- Original Message ----- From: "Michael Kingsbury" <mike(a)beakerware.net> To: <wlug(a)mail.wlug.org> Sent: Friday, September 20, 2002 9:13 PM Subject: [Wlug] Slight O/T: Preferred Registrar? > Who's the preferred name registrar now a days? > > -mike > > _______________________________________________ > Wlug mailing list > Wlug(a)mail.wlug.org > http://mail.wlug.org/mailman/listinfo/wlug > >
