Notes on CPM
Posted: Sat May 13, 2023 3:00 pm
Really enjoying using CPM on the Nabu.
A couple of comments:
1. Games: Tons of games, but not all of them work. For example Pitfall and Pitfall1. Just making sure it's not me, but that they just don't work. I've also had games just freeze up on me. Most interesting "error" was when Pacman suddenly moved my pacman outside the maze. I could still move around and enter through the tunnel on the right side.
2. Telnet. I intend to start exploring various BBS's with telnet and I'll post any good ones for the Nabu. Many sites request info about your system in order to work best with your monitor. Anyone got a good suggestion on what to choose? So far for me it's been kind of a crap shoot.
3. Long list of programs? Ctrl+S is your friend. It'll pause and continue the scrolling. However, is there a way to just terminate the scrolling? Say, I get to the B's in program names and don't want to wait 2 more secs!!!! (joking) for the entire list to go by.
4. OH and the c: drive. Yes it does save files across boots. That's cool, but is it really on the Nabu or is it in the Internet adapter host computer? I'm afraid I might end up taking to much space on the Nabu with files. And if I do, might that not somehow cause issues with programs, memory, ...?
Thanks!
