Re: NV Mag, Mar 2004 Issue, Non Receipt

Re: Tables in webpages

The spacer.gif is used to make the table size correctly. That means that if the spacer.gif was 5x200 then the table would size to 5x200. This also means that the spacer.gif would have to be transparent so the user could see the background yellow_lines.gif.<p>You could also make the table size withou...

Re: can visual basic control serial or usb port power?

Mr. Dale Y,<p>According to the webpage http://www.logix4u.net/inpout32.htm you can have full port access in windows 2000 and XP. The dll uses a win 2k / XP system driver to access the parallel port.

Re: Please Help - My Power supply broke

Hello,<p>You might try looking at www.rc-cam.com for your x-10 cam modifications. That website has plans for making a half wave antenna for the camera. I have done this for mine and it works great. I mounted my camera on a small remote controled car and the signal quality is great.<p>Harrison
