Hi.
I finally looked @ the info for my RULE install. It is incorrect. So here is
the corrected version. If there are any questions, just ask.
PC OWNER : Eugene T.S. Wong, please contact me through the mailing
list
BOX TYPE : Desktop
BRAND OF PC : n/a
CPU : 486dx [or 486sx]
CPU SPEED : 33 MHz [I think]
MOTHERBOARD : n/a
RAM SIZE : 8 MB
RAM TYPE : n/a
HD SIZE : approx 500 MB
HD MODEL : n/a
HD BUS : n/a
CDROM MODEL : none
CDROM SPEED : 0
CDROM BUS : none
GRAPHIC CARD MODEL : n/a
GRAPHIC CARD RAM : 0
GRAPHIC CARD BUS : n/a
MOUSE : n/a
KEYBOARD : 101 US
MODEM INTERNAL: none
MODEM EXTERNAL : none
MODEM INTERNAL BUS : none
MODEM EXTERNAL BUS : none
SOUND CARD : none
SOUND CARD BUS : none
NETWORK CARD : D-Link [NE compatible]
NETWORK CARD BUS : n/a
OTHER CARD : n/a
MONITOR TYPE : crt
MONITOR SIZE : 0
MONITOR RESOLUTION : n/a
MONITOR DEPTH : n/a
MONITOR FREQ VERT : n/a
MONITOR FREQ HORZ : n/a
PRINTER : n/a
Also, there is an error in the template. The template says,
MODEM INTERNAL:
MODEM EXTERNAL :
MODEM INTERNAL BUS :
MODEM EXTERNAL :
but should probably read,
MODEM INTERNAL:
MODEM EXTERNAL :
MODEM INTERNAL BUS :
MODEM EXTERNAL BUS :
I would like to suggest that there be another option other than "n/a". As
far as I understand, "n/a" is the same as "none". Maybe the template should
suggest, both "unsure" and "none" for text, & 9991234 for numbers. I say
that in case somebody actually has a zero. I'm not sure if anybody would
really need a zero, but I suggest it just in case. I don't mind either way.
If you do decide to make that change, then I'll send my computer info again,
with the relevant changes.
Also, if the user is having trouble understanding what certain fields mean,
then it should be obvious that he can look @ other pages. However it may be
wise to mention it, just in case. For example, "If you are having trouble
understanding what kind of information is being asked, then try looking at
some of the other pages.".
Sincerely, & with thanks,
Eugene T.S. Wong
