060801 - Morri said the new cord is not making any difference after all; he
060802 - will get by for time being, as is.

0611 - Discusison
0612 -
061201 - He is still encountering periodic boot failures with the new cord and
061202 - after having moved the CPU to his desk, per ref SDS 11 line 060801.
061203 - The failure seems to occur with the power switch. If he wiggles the
061204 - switch after turning it on, sometimes it comes on. He said that when
061205 - he avoids running the routine that parks the disk heads before turning
061206 - it off, this change seems to result in the computer powering up imme-
061207 - diately when the switch is turned on. We considered the relationship
061208 - between these two events to be remote.
061209 -
061210 - Decided to leave the machine as is for awhile, so we can conserve on
061211 - expenses. If getting it to boot up become too frequent or haphazard,
061212 - we will change the power supply.

0810 - Discussion
0811 -
081101 - Morri has some ideas about doing an SDS product development with
081102 - Windows.
081103 -
081104 - Instead of opening multiple files within a DOS 640 K window, we would
081105 - open separate windows. This could chew up a lot of memory; sometimes
081106 - we have 10 or more windows open at once. We also have to distinguish
081107 - between processing macros and opening files someone wants to see. I
081108 - expect that will not be very hard. Another advantage is opening files
081109 - in particular applications with those tools, like Lotus, Wordperfect,
081110 - etc. We could just extend the existing SDS citation feature to the
081111 - other applications, as reported in the PC Magazine.
