#CD ROMs
Message #10656
I appreciate your experience and I may have to make a move based on (I gather) getting a CD-ROM with the 3DS 2.0 upgrade. But I read in PC Magazine about the new NEC CDR-73M (external) and CDR-83M (internal). They claim that it has a throughput rate of 300 Kilobytes…

What I have seen in various places is that the first fractal image compression hardware/software is from Interated Systems (a Mr. Barnsley being a principle). Most of what I have seen says that the description of this stuff is very proprietary. On the other hand, I saw a lead in…

#Data Catalogs
Message #82186
I want a complete list of the Data Libraries for a particular section, so I enter browse, but it keeps on asking me what I want to do. What I want it to do is do it and not bother me with asking me what I want it to do.…
#downloading
Message #68198
Hi, I tried to download arc.exe in order to download and unarc the arc23.arc, but arc.exe did not work. So I downloaded chop, so I could chop arc, so that I could unarc arc23.arc, but chop would not work either. I am using a program called comm, that I got…
