Let me preface this by saying I'm not the thread police. I did not molest your message. I do not make policy in this forum, nor are my comments an articulation of it. My comments are my own, so you are free to disagree with anything I say here. As…
You can try Loretta Holtz, at Varitronics systems.
Before I jump on my trusty steed and tilt the windmills, I'd better double check my sources. I was told at one point that there was no constraint on commercial use of 3DS/Educational — but that may have changed. I agree that the educational program has good intentions, but you…
James: I don't really like how Autodesk has handled the student version of 3DS, but I can't fault people for taking advantage of it. If GM were to offer Corvettes for $1,000 to students, I'd matriculate in an instant. As far as I know, there is no prohibition against using…

If you think this is bad, you should try America On-Hold. Evan
Hey, Dave. I've got to stop posting messages when I'm grouchy. Sorry. (But then, you know I'm a grouch, and probably don't take offense.) In any case, I can see the justification for the quoting in some cases. I've got pretty good thread tracking tools, but I guess some people…
Actually, Les Paul didn't invent the electric Guitar. He was predated by Fender, who was predated by Rikenbaker {sp} Evan
Dave: I know you like quoting messages in your replies, but 8 lines of quotation for 2 lines of reply seems a little… excessive. I'll admit that quoting has its place, but generalized quoting (called cascading) is really a hold-over from USENET, where there are no threads. Most of us…
Kathy: That's "Insight Development", not "Insign Development" Evan
The coax is in the cable. It provides impedence control and noise immunity. Evan
Your message regarding computer erotica includes references to: Home production of cocaine Child pornography Civil war Slavery Apartheid Stalinist Russia The Kamer Rouge The Holocaust Nazi Germany Low self esteem Dictatorships Purges Massacres Anarchy Bosnia Although there is a lot of thread drift here, this is getting out of hand.…
I just took a moment to download HEAD00.JPG. Glenn, you are a god.
I guess I'm not the only one to occasionally wake up on the wrong side of the bed. A very well stated message.
I have a source for true coax DB-15HD to DB-15HD cables. They are quite reasonably priced. If anyone is interested, they can contact me via email, and I will connect them with the source.
Steve: Get a cable with a VGA connector on one end, and BNC connectors on the otehr end. It'll reduce the ghosting. Evan
I'm saying that it retails for $800, but compares with $1,500 monitors.
Scott: In the past, I might have agreed with Doug about the NEC being the best choice. But not today. Let me be clear. The MAG and the Viewsonic aren't even in the same class as the Idek VisionMaster 17. And neither is the NEC. The VisionMaster is a $1,500…
Only some of it stays wrapped. The Truespace just came in when I was really busy. It'll get loaded in the next week or two. Your CD has not been in its shrinkwrap for at least 9 months. FWIW, the difference between Jerry and me is that I actually know…
I've got a copy of Truespace at the office. I really ought to pull the shrinkwrap off it.
They're chapter 11. It remains to be seen whether the Amiga is aquired by anyone who will resurrect it.
>Now, who's on line at 3AM central time ????…….. Me. Evan
Just add a second parallel port for the dongle. Evan
I personally can't stand 60Hz. I've used the monitor at 1600×1280, but only for testing. Remember that on a typical monitor, the maximum resolution trades off refresh rate. The Dec/Taxan will do 80Hz — but not at its top resolution. The Nanao is typically bundled with a custom MGA which…
John: Are you a 3DS dealer? (I'm curious — I didn't think so, but here you are, in the Dealer section.) In any case, this is a semi-private section, and the discussion of dongles here is probably appropriate. In any event, I won't likely get a chance to visit you…
The DEC 17" is/was made by Taxan. They no longer sell in the US, to my knowledge. There are very few monitors which will do 1600×1200 at 70+ Hz. Nanao makes one, and I think Nokia does too. Oh, yea — Idek said they are coming out with one. It…
How *does* Susan put up with you? Evan
Ang: Watch it, dood. I can give as well as I can get. BTW, I'll be in DC for A/E/C Systems from 6/18 to 6/26. I'd like to spend some time harrassing you then. Evan
I'm really not trying to put a damper on the used 3DS market here. All I was suggesting is to keep it low key. This is not a policy statement, It is not a dictate, it is only an informal suggestion! If you think I'm out of line, feel free…
The tests mentioned in this forum show it to be about 50% faster than a 486-66 for rendering. Evan
God exists, good will ultimately triumph, there really is motherhood & apple pie, and Frodo lives. Evan
Part of what I'm saying is that open price negotiations can turn this into a swap meet. If you post a message selling 3DS for $2,000, I might post a message selling it for $1,950. If you post a message offering $2,000, I might post a message offering $2,100. It…
3ds Sales Etiquette
Message #99242
To all sellers and buyers of used 3DS software: In general, it is better not to post prices here. If you can, take the actual price negotiations to email. I realize this may seem minor, but consider this — public price negotiations are an invitation for others to step in…
Sherwood: The DX4's are not interchangeable with the 486/66's. Different pin outs, different package, different voltages. Evan
Make 'em Phong shaded. Evan

#Ideal PC for 3DS Rel.3
Message #97445
Nik: The tradeshow configuration was put together by Raymond Jones at Micron. Micron uses 3DS in their art department, and is a registered hardware developer. In any case, the tradeshow computers are specifically configured for 3DS. FWIW, when you order a Micron, ask for the Platinum configuration, and you get…
I don't know about the Lincoln Memorial. I'm planning on spending a bunch of very late nights out. Evan
Rachel: If you can telnet through your UCI access number, you can find gophers all over the place. Here are some good ones: gopher.micro.umn.edu veronica.scs.unr.edu gopher.ncsa.uiuc.edu gopher.tc.cornell.edu gopher.psc.edu gopher.sdsc.edu gopher.micro.umn.edu gopher.uiuc.edu wx.atmos.uiuc.edu bigcheese.math.scarolina.edu athena.sdsu.edu You don't need a client Gopher program (such as NSCA Mosaic) unless you have a direct…
I subscribed to bobsbox for a while. I found lots of basic questions, and few people who had read the manual. I think there were a lot of students asking questions about R1 and R2. In any event, I didn't find much that I could use (no Yost answering questions).…
Yep — I run a SLIP line (actually, I have two SLIP accounts and two shell accounts for mail. I'm transitioning from a long distance provider to a local provider.) I use Trumpet Winsock (shareware) to get TCP/IP under Windows, and use NSCA Mosaic (freeware) to access the WorldWide Web,…
Personally, I think your concern is well founded. Autodesk is aware of the problem, and is indeed re-writing their program. However, discussion of AutoCAD is in the ACAD forum.
This is a family forum. Please watch your language. Also, personal attacks are inappropriate here. The fact that Bacci's message was strident and posted in the wrong forum does not justify an ad hominem attack.
Don: Yep, I've heard of a desoldering tool. I've got one. And I can use it too. But, FWIW, I would hardly recommend desoldering the battery on a computer which is still under warranty. I'm not sure what the normal current draw is on a CMOS clock calendar, but it…
Cheryl: Autodesk's phone number is (415)332-2344. If you want to email the primary sysop here, send it to Jeffrey Pike 76702,531 Evan
Paul: I've been off line a bit. When and where is the get-together? Evan
Martin: Since when are you using Softimage? You don't have an SGI at your house, do you? Evan
