Good bye, cruel Matrox.......

I prefer keyboard/mouse to a game pad. I've never been good with game pads.

Some games on a PSX are fun. I may even get a PSX2. But not for a while. :-)

"But then you have to depend on MS to write a file to replace the one that the offending program needs to run" Not so...

As I understood it at a MS seminar that I attended.

If a program is W2K, that program will install .dll's in a seperate folder that that program will call to use. That way the O/S .dll's will be untouched when installing software. This is not really new, but it is a great step for MS.

Did you know that you can order a Dell with W2K beta installed ? pretty funky

LAMFDTK, that was out of an earlier in the year magazine review of Win2000, so anything is possible.

Bye bye.

Well there will be a Windows 2000 driver when Windows 2000 is released. The TurboGL driver will INITIALLY appear for PIII and Athlon.

This cartoon you guys are talking about, do you mean Voltron!?! That show was awesome. With the lions? Pidge was the little guy that had the green lion....
I even had the toy. So many moving parts, a budding engineer's dream.

LAMFDTK,

I've been using the Windows Installer for a couple of months now. The major difference with Windows 2000 is simply better support for network installs. Most of the benefits are also available on 95/98/NT, but every app has to have been installed via the Windows Installer, and not have used the self-registering functions in any dll's. Neither MS nor most other vendors have released proper Windows Installer merge databases for their shared libraries / components, so dll hell is going to be with us awhile yet.

Paul.

I'm still using RC1 as from what I've read a few things have been disabled in RC2..... can't remember what they were now, though they were important enough for me to decide it wasn't worth bothering with. If anyone has a good reason for swapping over, let me know.

I think it was something to do with OpenGL or maybe about using NT drivers...... hmmmmmm nope mind is blank, as usual.

Personally, I prefered Star Blazers. :-) Hope that one comes out on DVD.

Voltron, with the pieces (not the lions) I'd like to see again. The lions were ok, but not as good as the pieces.

Robotech, while not exactly true to the original Japanese story line (ok, it's three series hacked together to make one - forgive them), I wouldn't mind seeing come out on DVD, either.

Transor Z was cool, but the story line got chopped to death. Needed some work.

Eh, they all pale in comparison to the newer stuff - Gundam series: Original movies, 0083, 0080, War in the Pocket, Z, ZZ, (NOT G - what a cheesy one that was), and the alternate universe of Wing was great. Macross Plus is amazing, but too short. Macross 7 has some great animation, but the story line is a bit out there :-). Bubblegum Crisis was great, but Crash wasn't up to par.

But then again, a little kid isn't going to understand any of those, or even have the attention span to read the subtitles. :-)

I just wasn't aware that Matrox was developing a Secure Socket Layer (SSL) only version of their driver. But according to the first post, hey. Speeds up them little "we accept visa, amex, mc" images at the bottom of ordering forms, see.

Gawd! G-Force! That's a trip back. The bloodiest (and most cheaply animated) cartoon I can remember. Pidge was the little be-speckled green wearing kid, the voltron rip off.

Anyway. Seems like someon up top had a need of some serious patience, not to mention a spelling editor, sheesh. I'm not anal or anything but use a dictionary man!

When I bought my Marvel way back when (shortly after G-Force went off the air come to think of it ) I had some problems, just like everyone else, but I 've come to love it and know that I made the right decision despite the issues I have with the company itself (thats a whole 'nuther thread) and although I don't plan on getting a G400 Marvel anytime soon, I still know that it would be a good decision because I think the products stand up. That's my 2 pence anyway.
