Oh, slide-show worked for me the one time I tried it.
I have SuperDark also and it seems it's forgetful or something. When I had the fireworks display loaded, it worked always. But I like the music blanker, especially when you run it using a tune called Boesen. I nearly peed my britches the first time I saw it. But it…
Ken, My kids are interested in buying the whole system if it's available. The 1080 `is' a color monitor, right? Skip
I'll be around. Just yell. Skip
Charles, Alas, I had originally planned to attend, moving to Sarasota and all, but the fact that we havn't sold our house in PA yet put us in a not very good position, economically, that is. Figures:-(………. Hope everyone has a great time. Skip
Hey! I used to run down to Gene's Books all the time for my monthly magazine `fix'. The book store in the newer section of the mall also has a decent selection of mags and even carries Amiga software. Or did. Now that I'm in Florida, I miss the mall.…
Anthony, I havn't been to a user group meeting yet. Right after I arrived here, I visited that store. They told me about the users group and that it was on very shakey ground. Apparently, according to the store owner, the group let it be taken over by some `kids'…
Anthony I live in Sarasota but might try to attend a meeting some day. Skip
Thanks, Jim. Skip
Thanks, Richard. Jack left me a reply. Skip
Anthony, Thanks very much. At least with the same area-code, they will be cheaper to call. I've been calling one in Ft.Lauderdale, I believe, and it claims to be the best Amiga board in FL. I don't like it at all. He's using Binkly-Term on a clone and it's very…
Jack, Ohhhhh.. I only heard that it was a phone company recording and so many times it's been that the lines no longer in use. Not yours. BBS's in general. Thanks for the info. Skip
#Final List?
Message #82088
Has anyone heard from Jack Radigan re JRComm? I tried calling his BBS last week and I got a recording but couldn't here what it said. In any case, I'm looking for a copy of `The Final List' or at least a list of Amiga BBS's in Florida and in…
Ray, I have AMAX with the cartridge,ROMS & Apple 800k drive. Skip
Maybe I'll do a `PowerUp' with my ProDraw. Thanks. Skip
No big deal. Skip
Thanks for the information Michael. I'll keep it in mind. I've been waiting to see how Art Expression is recieved before I order it. I've been using ProDraw/ProPage but I'm not crazy about proDraw. So maybe I'll be get Art Expression. Skip
Are you really sure about that? I have an older version that I bought used and it won't do it. I DO have ImageMaster but it's at version 9.10 I think so maybe the newest versions import EPS files. I guess I should upgrade. Thanks, though. Skip
Jonathan, I thought about getting Post. In fact, I had an older version somewhere but never used it. Maybe I'll give it a shot. I'd love to get Aladdin 4D, though. And just might once I get back on my feet down here. No job and very little business hasn't…
I believe your right about that. It was very tough to get it distributed properly from Canada, from what I understand. I know Eyo's one sister and we talked at length at one of the Amiga shows in NYC but I don't recall any of it. Too many shots of…
Vance, I used to have every single issue of AmigoTimes and the disks but had to give them away when I moved. That magazine was far ahead of any other at the time and still would be if it were around today. The person that started and basically put AmigoTimes…
Michael, Thanks very much. /\ |~~\ Skip-now /–\uto|–'iloting from Sarasota,FL…….
Michael, I know it's on Fish disk 227 but since I've moved, I don't have a way to get it without downloading the whole disk. I was hoping it would be around by itself. I only need it for a little arexx golf game I D/L'd from somewhere. So it's…
rexxmathlib…
Message #29639
Could someone point me to the library that has rexxmathlib.library? I need that and rexxarplib I believe, for another program, but can't seem to find them. /\ |~~\ Skip-now /–\uto|–'iloting from Sarasota,FL…….
Mike, I was the one who told you how I digitised my slides with my video camera. I might have neglected to mention that the camera has a macro mode which made this possible. What was this project for? Did you plan on making hard-copies of the slides or would…
Mac ROMs
Message #73694
2 128k Mac ROMS $150.00 1 Apple drive $75.00 By both and you get AMAX (1st version) free /\ |~~\ Skip-/–\uto|–'iloting from Mohnton,PA…….
Paul, I havn't the foggiest idea on how the 2.0 chip is different from their earlier version as I never got to install it. I originally was going to put it in my 3000 because I heard it was much faster than the 2091 controller I have. But I never…
Mike, I `digitised' a bunch of my slides by simply hlding each one in front of (against) the lense shroud of my 8mm video camera. Worked great but I suppose you could do better with that Polaroid set-up. I'm not sure how that works though, since I don't have one:-).…
Steve, I have a TrumpCard with the case. It's been upgraded to their 2.0 version. I just didn't install the new chip yet, but I have it. Includes the case. Make me an offer. Or…I'd be interested in that 20 meg HD. Is that SCSI? /\ |~~\ Skip-/–\uto|–'iloting from Mohnton,PA…….
Jim, You make it sound so easy. And I'm sure once you DO it once or twice, it is. It's just learning first that you CAN do that sort of thing and then learning HOW to do it. And of course, remembering it all. I'll save your message for later:-).…
Look into a program called Contact 2.0 from Consultron. Looks very nice. >>>>>Skip (SKP Graphics)
I recall when my sister-in-law got their Tandy. Couldn't use it for 2 months untill they finally figured everything out. Now it's second nature. Same with me. I'd like to have one of each platform:-) >>>>>Skip (SKP Graphics)
Excellent idea. Service is the key. Make it easy and they'll keep coming back. >>>>>Skip (SKP Graphics)
I'm currently `making do' with 105 megs since the Syquest went poof. One of these days I'll get off my butt and send it off to Syquest so the can anylize it. Hopefully I'll be able to save the stuff on the platter. It's all me artwork:-(. >>>>>Skip (SKP Graphics)
I saw it. It's one of the many magazines I get that I have no time to read. Someone around here said it best; "I don't read `em. I just build with `em":-) >>>>>Skip (SKP Graphics)

#Byte's NEW AMIGA??
Message #65813
I often wondered about just HOW MUCH better VGA & SVGA really was as compared to what we have available. Oh. I've seen a few screens here and there but never had the `opportunity' to use one. And I've heard the with all the different mfgs. making all those different…
I anxiously await it's arrival but untill then, WHAP! is doing very well. >>>>>Skip (SKP Graphics)
Michael, Really? Now I don't feel so bad. >>>>>Skip (SKP Graphics)
Betty, Well, then. I shall leave you alone to get back to your work. >>>>>Skip (SKP Graphics)
Dave, Yes. I've been guilty of asking first and reading later. Although I did read the WHAP! docs twice, many times certain things just don't sink in. I also know of the other platforms front ends but have never seen any in action. >>>>>Skip (SKP Graphics)
We(all of us) could argue this till we're blue in the face, I suppose. But the bottom line is that for all IBM's dominance and Apples ummmm….smuggness, C= DID show a nice profit last year. Guess they know what they're doing. Maybe it can be compared to the way a…
Erik, HAR! Bottom feaders. Thats good. Sounds like me. I know just enough to get myself in trouble(out of water). A bigger hard drive is only the tip of the iceberg. It'll only lead you to bigger downloads and bigger phone-bills. >>>>>Skip (SKP Graphics)
Michael, Oh, I'm sure thats true for the new user but I'm positive I'll be satisfied with AutoPilot. For $20.00 you can't hardly go wrong, considering the terrific job they did with WHAP!. >>>>>Skip (SKP Graphics)
Wayne, I'll have to try that. I had some very strange things happen to my `settings' with out me touching them. Gets me all screwed up. I just like to browse around every once in awhile. >>>>>Skip (SKP Graphics)
Michael, I obviously tend to agree with you. I use WHAP! ALL the time. It's my fault that I havn't tried using the interactive feature more often but WHAP! kinda does that to you. It's just sooooo easy to click a few gadgets and sit back and watch. I often…
Dave, I wouldn't say it's narrow, exactly. Just witness all the questions Steve gets regarding WHAP!. Many are from new users. `Power Users' tend to be able to figure it out for themselves. And I do disagree that CIS has more `power users' than casual although maybe our definition of…
Betty, I can't wait! Other than WorkBench itself, the 2 programs I use the most are WHAP! and JRComm. Has anything been set up yet with regard to payment for AutoPilot? I was wondering if we could pay in advance to kinda avoid `putting up with' the crippled version for…
Motivation, huh. I suppose nothing motivates like free equipment and lunch:-). >>>>>Skip (SKP Graphics)
Kinda along the same lines, the latest issue of AVideo has a good article on the emergence of desktop video by Ed Cornell. In it he talks about the Toaster and the Amiga and says " Using the Commodore Amiga platform, possibly the most underrated and misunderstood computer of all…
Michael, One thing I've never cared for about WHAP! or any other front-end like it is that simply by using it, don't we miss a lot of current info that CIS offers? Basically, you have to know where you want to go before you use WHAP! so therefore, browsing is…
