I myself have bought productivity type software in the past and, when a later version comes out I have nearly always upgraded. Now, when I look at buying some new software I find myself asking the question will I end up with a product that won't be developed? I want to buy software, I want the software I buy to be developed, to progress but, these days who knows? It's happened many times before, I've bought new software and it's life is over before it's 1st birthday. I can't be the only one who thinks twice before parting with the cash. Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to make excuses, just trying to find a reason. > In theory, it was a great idea, in practise we managed to scrape > together around 40 sales from the promotion, hardly inspiring.

There was loads of PD, Shareware available, programs given away on the front of magazines ect, ect, after a while you get used to something being cheap or even cheaper (free). The reason why the Amiga was so successful in the early years was, in my opinion, down to the fact that it was a cheap home computer and, therefore, attracted a buying public that did'nt have hundreds and hundreds of pounds to spend on hardware, software. The Amiga market changed in terms of hardware/software, the Amiga buying public, (not all of them) did'nt. So, on the whole, I have to agree with you, but I also think it may have something to do with the way the Amiga buying public was brought up.

The PIII-800 was running Win98 though ;-) Well, you're hardly comparing like with like :) The benchmarks I've seen generally rank a G4 at being slightly faster than a PIII 50MHz faster at integer, and around the same FPU speed as a PIII 150MHz faster (although the Athlon does somewhat better here). A PIII 900 ought to be able to outperform a G4 of up to about 750MHz. Of course, it doesn't make a great deal of difference - the vast majority of stuff people run is never going to take advantage of that sort of speed. -- Matthew Garrett | mjg59@cam.ac.uk ------------------------------ message 48373 ------------------------------ http://www.eGroups.com/list/afb/?start=48373 Date: Mon, 21 Feb 2000 11:45:16 -0800 From: "Steven Holmes" In-Reply-To: <88pskq$bjuj@eGroups.com> X-Mailing-List: afb@egroups.com Subject: [afb] Re: over sensitive idiots MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit "steven holmes" wrote: original article:http://www.egroups.com/group/afb/?start=48209 > matthew o'neill wrote: > original article:http://www.egroups.com/group/afb/?start=48197 > > On 20-Feb-00, Andy Mills wrote: > > > Would there have been such a big outcry if It was against short, > tall, ugly > > or stupid people?

Its no > worse than calling a short person a 'munchkin' or a tall person > 'lanky' There are plenty of people out there who are having enough problems with coming to terms themselves with the fact that they're gay - when they see people making casual jokes about it like that, and using the word 'gay' in a derogatory sense as in the original mail, all it does is make them more uncomfortable with themselves. A smiley doesn't make an offensive comment go away, but its often used as a convenient shield for truly hurtful words - and in both your case and the original poster's case, all those offhand remarks can do more harm than good. At least have the decency to consider that what you say may be offensive to people when you're speaking in a public forum like this, and rephrase it accordingly. And remember, you don't know *quite* how many people out there reading this are gay and took offence to your words - either of you. More than worth giving a monkey's left testicle about, I'd say.

Blimey, I used to know this...hold on...[thinks]... PNAMES is the area of a .WAD file used to store the texture patches used on walls. Doom assigns each one a reference number for building the actual TEXTURES. What seems to be happening is that Doom is being given a number by a TEXTURE for a patch that doesn't exist.

Basically, Maybe you know already Ben, but Power Computing have Amiga 600 accelerators in stock! And they appear to be a new type, called the Viper 630. Now these ones aren't like the Viper 630s from 1997-8 (AF98 had a revierw of 'em if IIRC :), in that they are a 33MHz RC68030 (you know with MMU etc.), space for a PLCC 33MHz FPU (not sure if it's PLCC since I left the house before it arrived, lucky someone will be there to take it! :) and up to 32Meg of RAM. I was under the impression this was an Apollo 630 until I ordered it yesterday (I was contemplating whether I should get the FPU or not because of my limited money and though: oh what the hell... :)), I was informed it is the Viper 630. Perhaps a rehash of the Apollo 630. Anyway, you may all be interested in the prices if you want to soup up your A600 and here they are: Viper 630, 33MHz 030, Up to 32Mb RAM, FPU Space, MMU - =A379.99 FPU at the the time of purchace - =A310.00 I can't wait till I get home and then I'll be able to fire up the Mac emulation on the A600, now that should be rather cool...

This actually sounds quite bad because ramlib is ROM based; now when you say mucking about with your Amiga, do you mean inside of it or playing about with software. All I can say at this time is: are the ROMs seater properly, does the machine have sufficient ventilalation? Also, you were fooling :) about with your hard disk partitions; there's a possibility you have done something to the RDB of the Hard Disk and you may need to try and recover it with something like Angela's Schmidt's (i think that's the name :) RDB Salv.

Nick thanks for taking the time out.... .....I knew I was going to be in trouble here. :( I'll try and make this brief, using OS3.5 I Shortend my empty DH4 partition and created a DH5. (I re-booted and booted OS30 HD install disk, and installed OS30 to DH5) (note DH0 Boot priority 1. DH5, -1) The idea of having the OS30 is, that I can run all my old Amiga games favourites, Pinball Fantasies, Fury of The Furries, Chaos Engine (all broken with an 040) OS30 requires minumum mem to boot, so I can run these games. (BTW I already installed Pinball and Fury of the Furries on to DH5) Now neither boot partiotion will boot. What's worse is that DH0 to DH2 use PFS2. DH3 is a Mac Partition. DH4 & DH5 use FFS (OS35) and when I boot from floppy, only DH3 to DH5 are viewable. > All I can say at this time is: are the ROMs seater properly, does the > machine have sufficient ventilalation?

Imagine my suprise at getting an email back saying it had been"put to moderator". What did I do wrong? Is downloading these illegal? There was no bad language, it was short and I had only posted about 6 or 7 emails in total over the 24 Hours. Comments please,Ben?

We have a Napster client (amster) , we have MP3 players - AmigaAMP, and many more!, we have MP3 encoders (SecondSpin, lamer etc). We can not only USE mp3 tracks from the net, we can also make them ourselves and put them onto the net alan ------------------------------ message 48461 ------------------------------ http://www.eGroups.com/list/afb/?start=48461 Date: Tue, 22 Feb 2000 11:27:45 +0000 (GMT) From: "Alan L.M.

Umm, I thought this could be fixed on NN (and any other browser for that matter) by adding CELLSPACING="0" into the TABLE tag. Of course, it only works fully if you turn borders off (which is the default setting anyway).

Sure, you can have it in the tagline of every mail you send, but people usually have to pay for their own phone bills, so think "It might be crap, I'm not going to waste money". Not that AYP was; I thought it was a great site. I've given up plugging my site. To be honest with you, I think I'm the only visitor to it!
