PDF reader for webtv ?

Jun 14, 2006 3 Replies

Sorry for this very OT question, but I'm not sure where best to go for answers and you computer literate woodturners are my friends. My classic webtv seems limited to html format so I miss out on PDF info that doesn't have html as an alternative format. ex: Lyn's articles in Fred's "More woodturning". J T's webtv apparently can read PDF, but he may have an advanced version of webtv. Mine's the old classic. I've asked him privately.



Obvious question: As I don't want a computer, can I get PDF on a classic webtv? If so please email me how. Hope my question isn't too stupid or phrased too ambiguously, altho it's ok to laugh. :)

Arch, have you gotten an answer back yet? :) JoaT's a COC of the first degree when it comes to people sending him emails off the group. You may have to "ping" him publicly to get an answer.

I did a quick search and came up with a couple sites that look promising:

Thanks Owen, I'll keep trying. So far I can't access the second site you gave and I'm still trying to figure out the first. :) No reply from J T yet. Hope I didn't annoy him. I only know of him from his recent thread here.

OK Arch

I have a friend here in Ventura CA who refuses to have a computer in his house. Never mind that he is only 80 years old. This guy can out bike me and stands on his head each day doing Yoga.

So I gave him a gift of a stand alone email station. I showed him how to use it and he signed up for service.

People have been emailing him and has has learned how the thing works.

Today he asked me why the long email messages were trunkatated and why he could not get maps.

I told him that he had an easy problem to solve: get the computer! I think it will show up soon.

(by the way the email station came from freecycle: people giving stuff away so it does not end up in the dump: lots of good things are offerd and people and the environment benefit)
