I think not, so why take it upon yourself to crucify me >for any other type of person? Yes there would. Until recently (we fell out about a year ago), one of my closest friends was a lesbian. I *know* what gays have to put up with through her and her partner. I have also had to put with abuse myself because of my weight, although it's not as bad as gays have to put up with, it does give me some insight of what they go through as I've been on the receiving end (oh, no people! No!) of verbal and physical abuse/bullying. Yes, I used to take the p**s out of her over it and she didn't have a problem, but that's because I know where to draw the line here - whereas you don't appear to. At the end of the day, and what you don't seem to realise, is that it's not /just/ these comments you've made about gays, but it's many immature comments you've made over a period of time (that stretches back to before I left) that's made people less tolerant towards you and your immature attitude. BTW, I've worked in the motor-trade for over ten years, it's one of the worst trades to be in if your over-sensitive and has made me pretty much think skinned over the years.

No you cannot use a 10mbit card on a 100mbit hub. You can only use 100mbit cards on a 100mbit hub. What you need is a 10/100mbit hub - it senses the speed and does the necessary - however, i would not receommend running a 10/100 hub, spend the extra few pounds and get a 10/100 switch - it will make an *immense* difference - believe me :) l8r -- Tudor Davies Running Amiga, Mac, PC & Unices Technology in Perfect Harmony Team Member of AmiBench Web: http://www.AmiBench.org Specialist in Internet Security & ISP Email: tudor@high5.net Support (RADIUS, Firewalls & Routing) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ message 48223 ------------------------------ http://www.eGroups.com/list/afb/?start=48223 Date: Mon, 21 Feb 2000 00:57:46 -0800 From: "Paul Laycock" In-Reply-To: <608.85T1185T14344067ajmills@wharne.u-net.com> X-Mailing-List: afb@egroups.com Subject: [afb] Re: network MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi Matthew, > >Yes, but can I use a 10mbit card on a 100mbit hub? that what I reallt need > >to know, if not then I wont be able to etwork my miggy. are there any > >100mbit card for big boxes? > > I'm pretty sure you can.

Yes, AF's Workbench section used to be poor, but then so did a lot of the rest of Fomrat (sic). Before I started working here, I wouldn't even look at AF, now I edit it, I'd hope that things are a lot more accurate.

I used to have ooooh 4 disks like this (two for Fusion; two for PC-Task), get around it like this (works for PCx and Fusion, PC-Task is more involved): In PCx and Fusion you can create a mountlist for a device; click on the drive that you want to make a mountlist for and save them to SYS:Storage/DOSDrivers/ now; in HDToolBox turn off automount for the partitions. Then make an AmigaDOS script to call Fusion/Pcx and Mount for the Mountlist for example: Mount sys:storage/dosdrivers/machd Then when Fusion/PCx terminates; call for example: assign [machd:] dismount [machd:] should be replaced by the dosdriver's name, e.g.: if it was 'apple' then you would use: assign apple: dismount All the best, Nick. ------------------------------ message 48247 ------------------------------ http://www.eGroups.com/list/afb/?start=48247 Date: Mon, 21 Feb 2000 03:24:24 -0800 From: "Matthew J Fletcher" In-Reply-To: <200002201827.SAA05471@babe.milanet.ie> X-Mailing-List: afb@egroups.com Subject: [afb] Re: Elate vs. QNX MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit mr halibut wrote: > for DI; Tao\'s Elate and QNX.

Hee Hee, I have only been away since Thursday and afb seems to have been surrounded with flames! :) None the less, Mash - think about it, PAL is 50Hz and NTSC is 60Hz. What is Hz, KHz, MHz, GHz etc.?? A measurement of frequency. 50 for PAL means that the screen is refreshed 50 times a second; NTSC 60 times a second. Hz is a frequency measure!!! A 44.1KHz sound sample, it plays 'faster' than at 22.8KHz for example. A 25MHz processor does more stuff (in theory, without getting bogged down with word sizes etc.) than a 16MHz processor. In this case; it's how frequent those instructions are carried out! :) Ahhh well...

First of all, I said that, to you when I was on a downer. I was going through a bad patch at the time. :( Secondly there are two r's in Carrillo :P Thirdly. Amiga Yellow Pages had to go. I could have renamed it and changed the images but it wouldn't have been the same. I have therefore decided (at the suggestion of a certain Mr Korn) to come back with a new idea. It will incorporate some of the good ideas that Amiga Yellow pages had, but with a much easier layout (I hope). It will however mean that a new site will not emerge for a good couple of months at least. I am currently applying for a .com address. I will not say much more just yet, apart from... Amiga Rediscovery is BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Well at least from 7:30pm tonight) Yes, one of the most original concepts in Amiga websites will be up and running tonight. This month, see how good "Fury of The Furries" by Mindscape is. In my opinion it is probably one of the finest platform games on the Amiga ever. But don't just take my word for it, log on to http://ayp.amiga.tm from 7:30pm tonight and download the demo.

Nope. QNX is a good implementation of an operating system that can look like UNIX from the outside. Consider: AmigaOS can be made POSIX-compliant to a certain degree with the ixemul system.

Its not obvious which. The intent multimedia toolkit provides the tools to build a windowing system, it doesn't define how it should look. The screenshots seen on Tao's website is merely an example. Amiga Inc., will be creating a user interface using intent - in some ways this is lower level than Intution (Intuition does provide a definite look and feel), in some ways higher.

It matters when you want to run existing Java software. It matters to companies currently developing Java software. It matters to companies who don't wish to retrain their staff in yet another programming language/environment. It matters because Java is portable to other system beside Elate.
