I couldn't get GEOS to run stable, a lot of screens would be f*cked up, both in demos as well as in games. The only programs that really befitted from the Flash8 were Basic programs and a few other programs that just ran faster like a flightsim (don't remember the name) in which you could take off, climb to 40,000 feet and crash in 2 seconds flat :-)) >> >Now if you have a CMD Hard Drive, which offers Parallel, >> You don't need a CMD drive to have a parallel drive.

So far, the end isn't in sight yet. I love it to see a true believer like i once was. But i have never declared the commie dead, what i do say is that the scene isn't as vibrant as it once was. For example, the Fairlight site (which C= user never heard of Fairlight?) hasn't been updated since 1997... -- Peter Punk \ / ---\\\\--- / \ Draai je V3.03 al van de SETI@home client? http://home.hetnet.nl/~setiathomegroep/index.html voor tips, antwoorden, discussies. links, downloads en meer. 812wu/8740hrs You're at the end of the road again.
