HI

 1. With the mini -a usb port on the sl600l-- can it be hooked up to a dsl modem?

can the 400 mhz processor handle dsl?

-just curious

2. Very Basic Question:

with just regular 56k dial up
[cf modem] --

Is it True that:
 56k is the speed the info travels through the modem and 400 mhz is the speed at which the machine " digests" this information?


Thanks
-Anthony

Thanks for the replies.

Omega, so what are you saying -the manual is so basic it's useless?

like i posted before --it's only gonna be for web consumption --so it's self explanatory enough for my needs not to require an english manual?

the + part of the 6000 is

1. ruggedization --an actual drop safe pda!

2. superior screen

3. english

unrelated question --the front lit 5600 screen --it is said to be "dim"

if i just shne a lamp on it's face it should brighten up since it is " front-lit"  ...no?
sort of "poor man's" brite screen!  hahaa

Thanks again for the help,
Anthony

p.s. I have an EL-509A SHARP scientific calculator
  it is about 15 years old --I paid $10 for it,I only replaced the battery once --it has been dropped / smashed between books n a bookbag etc --too many times to remember--it still functions flawlesly --and I got all A's with it in college .

There is an apparent contradiction between the Ian Giblin and Lisa Grade reviews of the SL-6000.

Ian Giblin says you can zoom in/out from 20%-400% and choose weather
 **"to render images or not"**.

This tells me I would be able to zoom in on images on a web page with the SL-6000.

------------------------------------
Lisa Grade says that only text is zoomable and the only zoomable images are the icons .


------------------------------------

Being that the screen is so smalll, and this wil be my only web access, I need to know the truth here.

Can someone , preferably an SL6000 owner, tell me weather or not web images are " zoomable" or can be "magnified".

Thanks,
Anthony

P.S. I like the clamshell designs better but I  need english operating manuals as i only have webtv experence [ zero experience].

Hi this is my first post. I am on webtv-- i want to go to a z 6000 [or 5600 with the good processor chip ].

2 questions:

1. Opera--the z6000 zoom featue doesn't magnify images only text?

Does the other version of Opera on the z5600 magnify images using the zoom function?

2. basically the Z will be my only computer . i just want to surf the web, store favorites, email, post on forums --maybe get some mp3 music etc..

is the Z good and simple for that ?

if that's all i do with it?

i wont be able to run the cd on a computer and do any of that...so will just the Z and the manual be enuf to enable me to use the web?

i plan on using a cf modem 56k dial up --and storing data on an sd card.

Thanks for ANY help,
Anthony
