Tim, PMFJI >…on a downhill slide just like the Amiga was since 1988. Your opinion only? >…The Toaster allowed it to drag on longer than it should. Why didn't Newtek develop the Toaster and the Flyer FIRST for the IBM clones (or NT for that matter) if they are so…
Beware "Software Hut"
Message #48105
Mike, I have been dealing with Software Hut for the last two years with no problems. That's not to say that someone won't have prolems, but I have had a couple of times that requested a refund or other matter with NO problem. You might call and ask for Trish,…

Robert, Get a chance check out DISCLOSURE…Michael Crichton flick…Filmed up in Seattle I see….Looks like they used SGI computers…Pretty good flick even though I figured out early how he was going to get out of that mess. BTW, it was a girl May 26. Little Cynthia is now 13 weeks…

Gord, I too am having the same problem with displaying/printed imported dcouments from MicroSoft works…I have even tried copying the MS Works text file to disk, read by CrossDos into my AMiga's WordPerfect and then tried removing some of the embedded formating codes…It is a lot of work…almost easier to…
I take it that you heard about Escom winning the bid.?. Personally I don't know what to make of it yet, although I wish to stay optimistic about AMY's future… As a subscriber to Video Toaster User, as well as Amazing Amiga, I have noticed A LOT of articles, question…
Amiga World's last issue was the April Issue…Even the staff on AW didn't know the bad news was coming until the mag went to press… As far as the Amiga's reintroduction/production….The AMIGA will be BACK, with much built-up demand….. Court system is prehistoric…. Patrick White Guru Meditation Error- OU812
Denny, It's ironic that AmigaWorld celebrated 10 years of the Amiga and then close down. I'll bet you may know more than you can share, but I won't press you. You've been a GREAT help to the Amiga Community, IMHO. Please don't leave the Amiga , we need you. I…
There will be one GLORIOUS bon fire in my back yard, if my AW sub turns into a PC-World sub.. and it won't be anything with the word Amiga on it burning. Run, INFO, Amiga Resource, Amiga +, all were good mags. My favorite here was INFO. The magazine for…
In December I purchased the NEC Multipspin 3Xp plus (caddyless) CD-ROM drive, which I use between both my 2000 and my 4000. So far everything has worked fine. For CD32 and PhotoCD support, you might want to look into getting the Asimware CDFS version 3.0 software. From the ads, 3.0…
The CD-ROM is last in the chain on my SCSI. I would have to replace the terminal resistors back into my SyQuest drive in order to get things to work right without the CD-ROM… (after I installed the CD-ROM, someone in our user group told me how to make the…

#MAC Quicktime for AMIGA?
Message #186572
Johnathan, Picked up this thread on Quicktime and have question for you. At our last Users group meeting, (A.S.K. Amiga Society of Kentuckiana),one of the members asked (pun intended) me if there was a way to view and/or convert Quick time movies on an Amiga (2000?). Thanks in advance for…

#Clip Art- Geese
Message #43666
It is a while since I used the other Forums here on CIS… Can anyone help me in locating a Forum which would offer many IFF, TIFF or GIF files? I can easily convert with ADpro so the format doesn't really matter. In particular, I am looking for some clip…
Personally, I don't see how it would be possible to get ANY machines out by Christmas, unless the factories are just BUSTING to get started… Remember Miracle on 42nd Street? What's the address for C=UK and CEI???? Patrick White "The new $3 BILL is out!t"

What's going on?
Message #165262
Dan, Just a thought…. C=UK has the European experience and , from what I've read about CEI, CEI may be better suited for the US market. Why don't the two companies put their heads together and consolidate their interests in order to better serve both major markets for the AMIGA….…

Robert, How's the weather in Seattle usually, let's say around the fourth week in September. I won a fabulous trip to Seattle and plan to stay at a fine hotel, check out the sights and look up some old roots. (I mean OLD roots.) Patrick White Burning the Midnight Toast
#T-Rexx/Toaster 3.1
Message #81134
When I first double-click T-Rexx, the Toaster Effects start loading and then I get error message "Error Opening File". The loading of T-Rexx interrupts six times and the file I/O requester pops up asking if I wish to continue loading the project anyway. The six errors occur when "HEARTSOFTOUT:", "ViewFinder:",…

#Mouse Pad
Message #73862
Fred, Came home today to two surprises. 1). My $100 Commodore check arrived. 2). 3.1 showed up today (with the VT4000 mousepad). Patience pays off. (Can hardly wait to load up 3.1!) How's the infection? Burning the Midnight Toast Patrick White
Video Toaster 3.1
Message #73861
> I'm just sorry I bought the 4000. You'd think by now the WHOLE world knows THIS… Give it a REST! Burning the Midnight Toast Patrick White
I'll call SoftWare Hut tomorrow about the $100 rebate… Have you gotten 3.1 and the pad yet? We haven't had any mail for 4 days now. Nor has the garbage been picked up for a week. Nor have the main streets been plowed, (four days now.) There I go sounds…
Kent, There goes more bad marks for Sony tapes…. I'll purchase Fujis tomorrow. Thanks. Don't be a viedo dropout stay in broadcast college. (Antartica, boy I felt that close to being there Tueday with our -40 F.) Burning the Midnight Toast Patrick White
Thanks David. Rule #4: If it's -40 degrees F outside, build 230 degrees F fire in fireplace and drink 110 proof bourbon. (sounds like the cold may have played a big role in the dopouts…) Stay in school don't be a video dropout! Burning the Midnight Toast Patrick White
David, I bet you mean, "don't use Sony tape". (couldn't resist, ) Your advice will go in my tips from the experts. Thanks for the help. Since almost everything, (except my AMYS) are from SONY in my house, it has just been a habit to choose Sony tape. I'll give…
At the present exchange rate 159DM = (about $91.69 US dollars. Patrick White "Burning the midnight Toast"
First off, What a GREAT looking Flomder guitar. You must have spent quite a bit of time modeling it. Secondly, if the $100 rebate was given to the 4000 vendor, are they obliged to pass it on to us. What if they simply say that they had reduced the 4000…
That sounds like an interesting film with J. Rivers. Take care. -40 below (with wind chill, without just -22) and 17" on the ground.
David, I'll try the droout trick. Yesterday we shot a personal ducomentary of the record snowfall here in Louisville. Came home that night to view the tape and it was nothing but dropout city. The shots were recorded on a CCD-F40 8mm Sony camcorder but this time, for some reason…
You probably know this but use the best Metal Evaporated Tapes, not the Metal Particle Tapes. Still with such a small size tape format, dropouts. I hear are fairly common. (I haven't had that problem, yet.) Burning the Midnight Toast Patrick White
#T-Rexx/RexxMast
Message #72359
After having installed T-Rexx with the "install" program and having put RexxMast in the WBStartup drawer. Each time I startup my Toaster 4000, I get the error message, "The ARexx server (RexxMast) is not running. Please start the ARexx server before running Pop_TR". What am doing wrong? Do I need…
I called customer service a couple of weeks ago and GVP didn't have a price for the new '040 for the 4000. Can you 1). give a hint, 2). tell us if there will be a trade in policy. Freezing in Louisville. Burning the Midnight Toast Patrick White

How did you get your $100, did you threaten Commodore. Ha! Where did you purchase your 4000 VT,to get the rebate? I received a call from Commodore in Dec stating that the rebate was on its way. I am still waiting though. (watch it come with 3.1 and the mousepad…
No, haven't tried the 'Back to the Future Ride", but I have tried the Star Tours ride at MGM. In fact several times…. Great Ride. The Luxor ride was on cable a while back , don't remember where though.. How's the Amiga Gang Video coming? Freezing in Louisville, (singing Elvis…

I asked about your meds since I have a strong interest there, (pharmaceutical sales rep for 12 years.) Keflex is a good drug, Cipro may help you that much more, since Cipro is one of the newer antibiotics with a wide spectrum of coverage. Take your meds as directed and…
