Rate-A-Course» Did you ever sign up for a class, start attending it, and then remember that a friend of yours had told you that it was a headbanger, or not to take it, or that the Prof. was a slavedriver? Well suffer no more fellow Newt owner! Assuming you're a true Newt freek and have it with you nearly 100% of the time, you're probably going to find this piece of stationery quite useful. Rate-A-Course lets you keep track of: ´ The course #/name ´ The Prof's Name (and you can select names directly from the Names soup if you want) ´ The status of the class ('Breeze', 'Cool','Headbanger','OK','Sucks','Totally Blows' are predefined) ´ When it's offered (predefined: Fall/Spring/Summer Semester, First/Second/Third/Fourth Quarter) ´ Who recommended the course to you (you can select names directly from the Names soup if you want) -- this is good so you know who to go back to thank or otherwise deal with depending on how the class actually turned out ;-> ´ When the class was taken (if you do end up taking it) -- same predefined periods as when it's offered ´ What grade you received (lots of predefined's, although you'll probably only use the 'A' selection right?) ´ And a never-ending comments field so you can add whatever you want (e.g., where you took the course, what the prof was REALLY like, grading policies, adhearance to the syllabus, tips, etc...) ---- You can enter things in the fields (even if there's predefined's) and it'll remember what you created, so the next time you add another Rate-A-Course» note, you won't have to enter things too many times... --- It supports version 2.x of the Newt OS (I run it on my Newt 120 and my Messagepad 2000), and is an extension to the notepad stationery lists. (You'll see a little icon in your EXTENSIONS folder saying "RAC:GREENY"). --- What's it cost? Absolutely NOTHING! Nada! Consider it a gift from one ex-college student who got burned by many a scumbag prof. to another student out there! It's also useful for ex-college students who have to take courses for work and want to keep track of the specifics of those wonderful continuing education courses so they can feed the appropriate info to the boss when asked... BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE! I couldn't have done it without the expert assistance and tips of: James Speir, powerPen Software, WSU Dan Rowley, Innovative Computer Solutions Thanks guys for the tips... ----- Disclaimer: It's free, it's free, it's free. Caveat emptor! If your Newt blows up, I hope you have insurance or at least a recent backup of your data. It didn't and hasn't blown mine up and I haven't had any troubles with it, so I'm not anticipating any -- but I may not have the same packages that you have on your Newt so... I did my best to write it to the Newton Human Interface Guidelines as published by Apple, and where they said a developer should do something, I did...
