What is TIPS? TIPS is a collection of ASCII files containing solutions or
|
|||
|
work-arounds to various hardware and software problems. I have
|
|||
|
spent two years developing TIPS, and they are being expanded
|
|||
|
and updated on a continual basis.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Distribution: This file may be uploaded to any Bulletin Board System and
|
|||
|
distributed freely. Although individual TIPS are not to be
|
|||
|
distributed in any way, this file is free to the general
|
|||
|
public.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Note: This file does not contain any TIPS. It simply contains
|
|||
|
a listing of the TIPS available on The Bertha BBS. Each
|
|||
|
TIP is located in a separate file on The Bertha BBS,
|
|||
|
allowing users to search for keywords and download only
|
|||
|
the TIPS they need. These TIPS may NOT be copied or
|
|||
|
distributed in any form. They are intended for the sole
|
|||
|
use of subscribers to The Bertha BBS. Non-subscribers
|
|||
|
may purchase individual TIPS files for a modest fee.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
TIPS are available exclusively from The Bertha BBS!
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Disclaimer: Use the TIPS at your own risk! I have tried to be accurate in
|
|||
|
my diagnosis of problems and their solutions. However, it is
|
|||
|
impossible to know everything about your machine. These tips
|
|||
|
worked on my machines, they may not work on yours due to some
|
|||
|
unforeseen differences. Neither I, nor The Bertha BBS will be
|
|||
|
held responsible for damages done by anything you do to your
|
|||
|
machine.
