Hey, I don't have a mini disk drive, but I'd like to try it out. Can you copy it onto 8 inchers?

You two, with your UserFriendly avatars and your references to technology that was obsolete before some forum members were born...

I'm not sure; it may have been obsolete before I was born, but my dad brought some old stuff home that they'd just taken out of service (around 1990, I guess, when I was 6), and we tried (in vain) to connect the 8" drives up to an IBM interface, and then turned my sister and I loose on it.
We actually got good at the skills side of computer service quite young, soldering, desoldering, and mechanical work on the delicate mechanisms that tape-eaters and disk drives had back then. The soldering particularly came in handy when we built our YASBEC.

yesterday I changed to the LCARS Theme Tabster commented on.
For me everything works (N810, OS2008) and the only application using hardcoded black text is the standard RSS reader (which I don't use, I like Feedelity better). And WiFi strength is available via clicking on the 802.11 symbol.
Maybe everything works now, as this is a newer version? Get it here:

Apart from just the looks, the sounds are great and it's a whole different experience using the N810!
Finally a usable LCARS implementation! Now my N810 is a real PADD - meaning the coolest device available at the moment. And together with the GPRS-all-data-transfer-inclusive-plan-for-10-Euro-monthly from my mobile provider the N810 is always online - just like a PADD.
Cheers

I could probably find you an installation of Enable to try out... it's on 27 5.25" floppies, tho....
