Hobby size... maybe 1/4" to 1/2" ball. ...Jim Thompson --- Probably the easiest way to get it is to have a friendly local machinist make it for you. One pass with an end mill to allow the next pass with a ball-end mill to be made and it's done as long as the slot will be wide enough to let your whatever-it-is into the channel. Another way, if you're just looking to retain the whatever-it-is might be to use some of that channel they use for shelving: +-----------+ | +-------+ | | | | | | +-+ +-+ | +---+ +---+ |

Low load. Hobby size... maybe 1/4" to 1/2" ball. ...Jim Thompson I have seen square top screws inserted and will not twist when you tighten. greg Commonly referred to as a "stove bolt". (not commonly, That IS what it is called) TRY: Carriage bolt (coach bolt) Has a domed or countersunk head, and the shank is topped by a short square section under the head. The square section grips into the part being fixed (typically wood), preventing the bolt from turning when the nut is tightened. A rib neck carriage bolt has several longitudinal ribs instead of the square section, to grip into a metal part being fixed. NOT: The original usage of the term stovebolt applied to a bolt with a slotted head that fastened into a nut. This particular bolt design was often used as a fastener on wood-burning stoves that were fabricated out of metal sheets, very common in the first half of the 20th century. Therefore, any slotted-head bolt that looked similar to the bolts in wood-burning stoves became referred to as a stovebolt. "WrongAgain!" |

Acrobat is the default. v4.05 can't cope with some features from v7.1, though, IIRC, I did reduce the scan to v4 compatibility before posting. ...Jim Thompson Try retrieving again... http://analog-innovations.com/SED/BallAndSlot.pdf It definitely has been made v4 compatible now. ...Jim Thompson Worked very nicely. With one exception, "upgraded" programs create files that are incompatible with older versions of the "same" program; it is rare that a program allows one to create files fit for other versions, as well as rare that the newer version even reads (some of the) olcer version files. The exception is PKZIP / Winzip; so far it seems that it makes no difference in reading or writing (between an old DOS ver 2.04g Feb 1993 and WinZip 8.1 SR-2 2001?). Compatible across the time spectrum and use spectrum; incredible! |

Excel 2007 does a fine job of making backward compatible, as well as co-compatible workbooks. Also, if one makes a new, 2k7 file and attempts to open it with 2k3, it will prompt you for the DL of the compatibility code so that 2k3 can open 2k7 files. |

Not to mention you can save from Word 2k7 in Word97-2k3 format. As I stated above, it has no problem creating a backward compatible workbook. As for Acrobat, I'm using 7 and you can make version 4 compatible files and considering (free) Acrobat Reader 6 was the last Windows98 version that's a fair amount of backwards compatibility. I am using the latest and greatest, like 9 or 10 or whatever. I do not wait around like the Win 95 first release Luddite dopes do. I couldn't remember off hand so I pulled out an old Compaq Contura notebook with WFW 3.11 and the last Acrobat Reader for that was 3. But it read the posted PDF just fine anyway. WFW 3.11 was a great little ship. I sailed it for years on many a Sea. What a blast from the past. 8 meg RAM, 4 bit color... woohoo! and sound (such as it is) faked by software modulating the beep speaker. Calmira installed to make it 'look like' (sorta) Windows95. I had a 286 the drove a mono card and a 720x640 Hi Res Ball 12 Volt Green mono CRT for my first box. It started out with a 10MB Tandon original Full Ht HD and 2MB RAM and no math co-processor. I was lucky to get it for $200. I paid nearly $600 for my first 16MB block of RAM for a 386 I had. I paid nearly $600 for my first SCSI 1GB Full Ht HD, which I referred to as my "Black Hole" at the time. My how those times have changed. At least the files are bigger for a reason. The images are higher resolution :-) Now, don't go reading into this statement... ;-) |

These things aren't free, you know, and my interneten boxen gets the older versions. I referred to the reader, which is free. I create PDFs from within Quark or whatever else I want. If I wanted the full Adobe, I could get it, no problem. Our company buys so many seats of so many different softwares that we have agreements to get home installations so our employees can telecommute to a degree, if need be. Office is free, though I had already bought mine. We get antivirus packages and CAD. It all depends on the individual needs of each worker. On a different note, a little helpful rant for all... Better start thinking about Windows 7 if you currently use XP at your work, because XP will no longer get security service packs or even small updates beyond this coming April. Security is a major factor. I can tell you right now that there are a slew of viruses out there that are going undetected. You guys all need to belly up to the bar or your workplaces will end up compromised. Pay now or pay shortly thereafter. XP will be rendered vulnerable after it is no longer getting updated. 7 is stable out of the box, and has hundreds of software engineers and computer scientists that are American and DO get paid behind it. WE can DEMAND that they get their customer service end **** together, but other than that, it is a VERY stable company. How many of you are glad that you have/had some MS stock now or at some other time in its history? Granted, Linux is secure from conception, but mainly only because it is not what is being used on the mainstream desktops of corporate America. If it were, you can bet that it too would be found to have vulnerabilities, and more would be created, as you cannot digress from the current "standard of living" by cutting back on flash or other currently compromised multimedia methods. Don't fool yourselves, folks, America is the primary target. They are after you at work, and they are after you personally right where you are sitting now. Y'ALL need to wake the **** up. Instead of ****ing all over Windows because Bill was so successful, you should all be buying it, because our economy needs it, and you need to be secure at home, and don't think for a moment that you are not. If you are compromised, then so are ANY of your encrypted volumes, etc. that you THINK are safe. If you are 'IN' THEY are IN. All these compromises add up to an eroded GNP, and that goes for all countries, so WISE UP, folks! Trust me, you anarchists are brainless twits, while you sit there with OUR technology in front of you, which you could never maintain or evolve without us... It would never work. Why would you want that for your kids, and there kids, you stupid ****s? |

Yep. The 'good ole days'. I keep it on a couple of old machines that aren't useful for much else as a reminder and I still like my AfterDark Star Trek screen saver. Somewhere around here I've got my original XT too, and the Atari 800, and the Sinclair. The Sinclair makes for an amusing paper weight, not much different than when it was new, but Atari Space Battle is still fun. You have to DL Mame. Then, you need to DL the now 130 GB + ROM archive of every upright video game you ever saw, including the now working Laser Disc based coin-ops. You can get away with about a 35Gb archive that gets you about 7200 games and the sound files for certain games that had cassette player inside them. The neat part is that it emulates nearly every cpu you ever saw, used, worked with, etc, etc, etc, and they are ALL in separate code modules for easy examination and learning from. Most popular upright coin-op cpu as I recall was the Z80. http://www.mameui.info/# That is the Windows versions front end. You can compile your own under Linux or any other platform if you know your way around makefiles. http://rbelmont.mameworld.info/?page_id=163 You need ROMs too, and those are on binary newsgroups like: alt.binaries.emulators.mame and you can find torrents of entire archives to get started with, which is good if it is well seeded. A good example: http://www.mininova.org/search/mame/size |

I was lucky to get it for $200. My first box was a Nova 2/10 mini-computer with 64k core RAM and 2 1.25Meg pizza platters, one removable and one fixed (just no door on a second pack), hard drive. I was lucky to pull it out of a dumpster, including the 6 foot 19 inch rack to mount the thing in. Repaired it and, voilą, I had a blower driven 1.5kW space heater. Hahahah... Two birds, one stone from my pov. That monitor on my first one was still in the cardboard box it got shipped in, and I still have it that way. I only needed to hook up one com cable, and one 12V source. I wonder if DVI has signals that could drive it as a second monitor... heheh that would be cool. Hacking in a junked Hewlett Packard high speed tape reader wasn't very difficult but a printer was out of reach, as was any really 'useful' software (unless you wanted to operate a chemical plant) but the sucker worked. That is pretty neat. Pulling partially loaded racks out of dumpsters must be fun too. Just happened to have your truck with you, eh? I paid nearly $600 for my first 16MB block of RAM for a 386 I had. I paid nearly $600 for my first SCSI 1GB Full Ht HD, which I referred to as my "Black Hole" at the time. My how those times have changed. Hehe. Yeah. I remember when a 10Meg hard drive was the cat's meow. I have a 10MB Tandon, then the 16MB, then the zone sectored format that bumped it to 22MB IIRC,then the 32MB zone sectored At least the files are bigger for a reason. The images are higher resolution :-) Now, don't go reading into this statement... ;-) Oh, I'm sure you mean high resolution, false color, stellar mapping ;) No... Rusty and Edie's :-P http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rusty_n_Edie%27s_BBS I actually remember BBS's pretty fondly. Yes, I love the Hubble stuff. I also love fractals. I had "FracTools" back when everyone was at 16 color EGA, then VGA. It was the bee's knees. It had advantages over the current apps too, so I am going to try and revive it inside of a DOSBox session or such. It had like a Gem (OS) front end or something. Most current GUIs puke on it when I try to run it. |
