Things have been pretty slow behind the scenes at ANN. I still worked most of January 2001 and the past two weeks of February, so my free time was limited. My PC seems to be working okay now, but my dialup has been very unreliable and painfully slow (how many errors are normal in W2k's dialup status window? So far I have 143 for less than 200k transferred...). The DSL line is supposedly being installed "in a few weeks". Sounds oddly familiar. I finally found an Amiga sponsor again, so that my phone costs are almost covered. Thanks also to the individuals who offered donations - sorry I didn't get back to you - but I'm always reluctant to accept individual donations for a number of reasons I won't go into since space is limited. :) To wrap up this MOTD, I'm trying once more to find one or more reliable contributors to do a bit of moderation and article posting. Please apply via email.

MOTD 12/Feb/2001 : Comment 15 of 64 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Christian Kemp on 12-Feb-2001 23:00 GMT | Windows might be bad, and have many shortcomings, but it certainly doesn't behave as described above. With WinAMP (with visualisation studio plugin), multiple browser windows, Eudora and TextPAD running, I can move any window without the screen becoming corrupted or audio playback stopping, as should be expected. My machine is a Duron 750 with RIVA TNT gfx card (PCI) and cheap onboard audio, 128 MB RAM and a 7200rpm Maxtor 40 GB. Right now, it is connected to the old Pentium3/450, which is busy encoding MP3's and keeping the connection to the Internet (with zero errors, by the way).
Now, if I could only be sure that the system will keep on being as stable as it is right now, and not surprise me with yet another incompatibility, software bug, or beta driver gone bad.
And I guess some day, I'll get back to actually updating ANN again. :) |
