Subject: Re: Epson memory card?
I use an Epson 2mb s-ram card in my Envoy. When I originally purchased Envoy it came with some Epson brochures. I picked up the card at CompUsa about a year ago. The coolest part about it was that an Epson 2mb card cost the same as a Sony 1mb card. At the time I was using a pic1000 and was told by Sony tech. that it may cause problems if I were to change cards alot. I never removed the card until I got my Envoy and made the switch. KEY: I found out the hard way about a week ago, the s-ram battery should be changed every six months. I went over a year without changing it because my battery power window told me that my 'slot one card battery is O.K.'. It wasn't and I did lose some key data. My fault for sloppy backups. |> Jon-Michael Whitney |> jwhitney@radiomail.net

tote bag it always copies the last item in.

Doesn't work for me either (I'm th one who asked originally)
The only way is to click on pen button, left arrow, pick copy tool.=20
Clearly too many steps for the most basic of operations. Heck, isn't copying
and pasting what computers are all about? Simple management, duplication,
transportation of information...
I'm a poet and I don't even... blah blah blah blah.....
There should be more option buttons on this little ML box.=20

The Epson cards work fine. I had one fail, but Epson replaced it.

The option dragging from the totebag ONLY works when the totebag is closed. Option dragging it should bring out a copy of the last item in the bag. I can't speak for the problems that may be caused by some software incompatibilities or whatever, but I've used Envoys with both MC versions and never had any trouble. Hope this helps, Rick Tasher Motorola WDG

You need to perform the option-drag right off the tote-bag icon. I have noticed some users open the tote bag, then try to option-drag a specific object out of the tote-window, which won't work. If it still doesn't work, does just try tap-holding on the tote bag and dragging away from it (without option), does this produce the last item you dropped into it? If even this doesn't work, make sure you don't have a tool selected from the tool cup; tap the tool cup icon twice to clear the current tool. Regards, Luke Derossi for General Magic, Inc.

Anyone know how to change the battery (and where to get one) in a Sony memory card? I didn't know that this was possible. AJ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ "Trust yourself.

Sucks, > doesn't it? no, option-drag works on the last item put into the tote bag, no matter how many other items are there. There are several other copy functions in Magic Cap. For text, just highlight the text, then select the copy button from the pop up window. In the tool cup, in the 'arranging' section is a copy tool that works on just about everything. The shortcut to this tool is to option-tap the title bar of the tool cup after you open the tool cup. This gives access to it in scenes where it is normally hidden. I use the tote bag option-drag most often. You are holding down the option key until you finish the drag?
