BlueOrbb Personal Manual v1.1c

BlueOrbb is an online information tool that utilizes resources on the Internet to provide you with a wealth of information in a simple, easy-to-use software package.

This is the manual for BlueOrbb Personal 1.1c. It contains all the documentation you need to get the most of BlueOrbb. This manual is regularly updated and contains the following sections:

BlueOrbb's weather forecaster is perfect for those who needs the weather forecast and don't have time each morning to turn on the TV to get it. BlueOrbb provides 5-day weather forecasts for every major city in the world.

To check the forecast on a major US or international city, first choose whether it's a US city or a international city. If it's in the US, type the city name and the 2-letter state abbreviation. If it's in the rest of the world, then type its full city name and country into the box. Then finally click lookup. A 5-day forecast will be shown for the city.

If the city could not be found, try including the province or the state between the city and country (eg. Montreal, PQ, Canada).

Note that if the city you're looking for is in Australia, you must include the province (eg. Melbourne, VT, Australia) since Australia is a special country and its own continent.

Tip: All capital cities of their respective countries can be typed without their country name or state/province (eg. Canberra, Copenhagen, Paris, Rome, etc). However exceptions to this is if the capital city happens to have the same name as a Canadian city (eg. London, Ontario will be found first rather than London, UK, if you just typed "London"). All Canadian capital cities may also be typed without their province or countries, (eg. Toronto, Montreal, Winnipeg, etc).

If it still cannot find the city you're looking for, first make sure it's a major city with more than 50,000 in population. Also try using full names rather than abbreviations. If all else fails, post your city in BlueOrbb Forums under the forum, Weather Forecaster and the tech support team or another user will get back to you.

Now this feature, most of us cannot be without. How many times have you had doubts on the spelling of a word? How many times have you loaded Microsoft Word just to check to see if your suspicions were correct?

Fairly straight forward, type the word to spellcheck and click lookup. If the word is spelt incorrectly, it would display a list of suggestions. Note: If you type more than one word or if you type a sentence, only the first misspelled word would have suggestions.

In a hurry to check how your stocks are doing? BlueOrbb gives you up-to-date information and latest share prices of your stocks. You can also look up common indexes such as DOJ, NASDAQ, NYSE, etc.

To lookup information for a ticker symbol, first choose whether it's a US or Canadian Exchange, then type in the ticker symbol into the lookup box.

To lookup information of an index, choose US Exchanges then type any of the following into the lookup box: $DJI (for Dow Jones Industrial), $DJU (for Dow Jones Utilities), COMP (for NASDAQ Composite), NYA (for NYSE Composite), SPX (for Standard and Poor's 500). Note: During a normal trading day, all data will be delayed at least 20 minutes.

Like to travel? Like bidding on auction sites and need to see how much the item costs in your local currency? BlueOrbb gives you the ultimate flexibility by incorporating a currency exchange feature. Updated daily, this feature allows you to stay on top of advances on the US Dollar and allows you to perform conversions between 63 countries and currencies in the World.

To convert a currency, first choose a country whose currency you wish to convert from and a country whose currency you wish to convert to. Then type in the amount to be converted and click lookup. The first conversion that day will update the exchange rates. All further conversions will be instant.
