Changing the code to use arrow keys ought to be fairly trivial. Because the code just checks for a direction that's not the same nor directly opposite from the previous direction, …

Some re-reading of the typed code the other produced an obvious error on my part (Go Figure, huh?!). Anyway, it does run now (user error is indeed the #1 problem). I just need to …

I usually use a joystick. It doesn't use arrow keys, though. Click to expand... Oh, so did you just wire the joystick to it? Click to expand... I plugged the joystick into …

I usually use a joystick. It doesn't use arrow keys, though. Networing on the II is rare. Lack of support both in terms of hardware and softwAre made it so. The Mac was unique in …

I think it was relatively common in most school environs with at least a certain amount of cash to have an apple II network. The school district here had Corvus stuff. Google "Corv…

How common was networking in the Apple II days? I remember our school lab had about 10 Apples sharing a printer, but other than that I didn't even know the term "networking" back …

This is kind of unrelated to the network part, but I can't get your single-player snake game to run. Anything I should know that I might not about getting it to work? I don't have…

Actually we do qualify for it, but such a thing is too newfangled for my parents, plus I'd have to go on a contract, which I kind of can't do when I don't have a job, and don't kno…

I guess you're not "Remote" enough to qualify for the subsidised sat feed?

Yeah, thats the thing...if you're in a reasonably big area, in most cases you can get ADSL no problemo, however there's still a lot of people in country areas who simply can't get …

ADSL isn't really available in a lot of places here in Australia, only in built up areas Click to expand... Just to clarify, 90% of Australians live in the larger cities, and p…

According to this: http://www.marketingvox.com/55-of-us-adults-have-home-broadband-but-10-use-only-dialup-039691/ in April '08 dialup in the USA was at ~10%. Given the preceding …

I dunno, in the states the average mans BS guess is 40% are still on dialup, and a quick google of dialup internet -zipcode will bring up a much wider array of providers than cable…

I don't know what things are like in other countries, but here in Australia dialup is available anywhere in the country from quite a few different providers, including the main one…

Anyone have any idea how to use SLIP to connect an Apple II to a PC running Windows XP and get internet? It seems like a plausibly doable solutions, but some pointers would be help…

Using a period modem would be the least of your problems. Good luck trying to find a dial-up provider, much less know whether or not your modem will work with their service. Not on…

Yeah, back in November...it had to happen eventually. And hopefully soon I'll get a job and move out, so I can make the final move from 3G to ADSL.

Didn't you only recently move up from dialup anyway, LCGuy?

Surely it must be acceptable. Not much different from using any other router. Having to use a period modem would be rather inconvenient.

I was trying to place my mind into a glorious time "2 years" past too. I currently live in a town which may have four Macs in it, two of which belong to one person and none of whi…

Good point. I've trimmed down all my of computers and now have: My sawtooth My BeigeG3 MT My 5300cs My 8600 soon to be parted out However if this was 2 years ago and I still …

If it was a G3 iMac, I would install NetBSD. But it isn't. If I didn't already have half a dozen 9.1 machines, I would install 9.1. But the hypothetical situation has me owning …

Personally I'd go with 9.1 - being able to run Ubuntu isn't really all that special when you can easily find a PC on the side of the road that'll run the x86 version of Ubuntu (whi…
