Re: Treo 680 and the 5-way

Hello, Chris Antos.

On Sun, 7 Jan 2007 17:35:15 -0800 you said:

It does not.  At least, it does not on the Treo 680.  I do believe I
had said that when it reaches the side it stops.  This is the view with
all icons, 130 per page, no Clipboard viewer.

The next one with the clipboard viewer works as you say.  But I only
use that view when I'm copying in icons from another file.

It does not matter if an icon is selected or not, it scrolls a page at
a time.

I think I found my initial point of confusion re my saying that this
has broke in 680, when it was likely the same in the 650:  I was
confusing the UI with the icon selector in DateBk5/6, they're almost
identical, and the five-way works as expected there.  Up is up, right
is right, etc.  And I'm using the stylus even less with the 680 than I
did with the 650 because the 680's is incredibly flimsy, it bends in
normal usage.

Notes on Fortress Construction:  7. In an unobtrusive spot outside your fortress, plant a remotely-controlled boom box with a tape recording of a sports car speeding away. If the hero breaks in, just step into a broom closet, cue the boom box, and wait calmly while he goes off on a wild goose chase. Then come out and get back to work.
