Well, I would have to say that Chenko did beat me with his plasma display... :D

About the player, yes, CD's hold more mp3's than my smartmedia 64MB card (which looks considerably sexier though :D), but it makes the device big.

Xenonic_Rob, did you say you have a Jukebox??? I bought my Nomad just before they published the Box. If I had waited for a while longer, I just might have one now. Since my Nomad II can only carry that content of one cd...

The two PCs are both NT4 Workstations
My main PC is the one on the right.
I installed JBuilder4 about a month ago and when I'm using it everything else grinds to a halt so I dusted off a spare one (the one on the left) to run Outlook, access this forum and to run a couple of "Web-based" intranet apps which used to be on my main PC but I moved to ease the load.

i decided for a disc player since there's where my mp3's end up anyway. HDDspace is considerably more expensive (yet) and smartmedia is way out of range. Simon is probably kidding about the plasma screen (but who knows)
May 13th, 2001, 07:25 AM

The plasma screen was a rental at work... I had used it when it was not in use :D well I had to :p

Keddie: Is that a Mp3 cd player....they seam like a good idea, but I dont really like the size... I prefer my Minidisc player, same quality as CD, and it costs 50p - £2 per disc.
May 13th, 2001, 07:46 AM

yeah it plays audio cd's too (not that i do) it fits fine into the pocket.
i'm not sure how much 2£ is, about 20mk i guess, cd's are 4mk.

Mp3 Cd players Jump more often, and are genraly larger :p

Keddie: you will find it is £2 (our symbol is in the normal place ie. in front:p)

Any why do you want the blue prints to a fighter, when you can get the ones for a nuclear tactical stealth bomber :D

Well they should be matching... anyways, they are still MUCH better than Mp3's :p

I think MD work off DVD technology, im not sure thou

I used to live pretty near to helsinki. BTW we are so going to win the world championship of hockey... :D

Anyway, I think minidiscs are a little hippier than mp3's, although I somehow just think them as something that's not that sophisticated as mp3 players. I really don't know why. But I prefer mp3.

And by the way, I think napster's dead. I went online last night (on napster), and there were something like 9 thousand users online. Of the millions that there once were. I tried searching for that song from the movie "evolution" trailer. "Play that funky music." But no matching songs found. Tried other stuff also, like ANYTHING with artist Iron Maiden. Nothing. NOTHING!! Napster's dead. And who are we to blame? People like the guys of Metallica. "We are about the richest metal band there has ever been, but while our CD sales have only increased during the time of napster, we still want more money from our [crappy] music". Camoon. That is the most un-hip thing I have ever seen a big rock-star do. As someone said. Then lets take Maiden for example. They have their own policy about piracy of their music: "We have enough money. If people like our music, then by all means download it and listen to it". Go british!

Oh, and did you see the MTV [something]awards some time ago. I have seriously never in my whole life seen anything lamer than the anti-napster propaganda that one guy from metallica had got MTV to show. "We are just sharing." Remember that? AND HE PROBABLY THOUGHT HE WAS FUNNY!!!

Actually I never used napster much. Suddenly I am extremely angry.

What the heck lets all be angry for no reason.

I know what you mean about the search facility never finding anything. They've blocked out loads of key phrases (like "Iron Maiden" for instance) so that they never return any results. You have to basically just search for something like "Iron" or just "Maiden" and hope it doesn't block it. If you want AC/DC stuff you can't type in "AC DC", you have to put in "AC" and then search through all the crap you get to find soem AC/DC tracks.

It's sad though. Napster was a nobel idea.

one of those gnutella clients, i'd prefer to use audiogalaxy but there's something wrong when it tries to connect.

I've been using BearShare. It finds loads of stuff but you can actually download about 1% of it.

Sucks.

i didn't bother with bearshare, limewire is slow as it's in java but it does download stuff

Nothing came down using Limewire for me.

And MiniDisc is either normal CD (prerecorded), or magneto-optical (rewritable).

Well alot of people are using now 17" monitors on a low 1024x768 (some on lower for some reason) and when im programming I like to see as much text as I can, But the interface always comes out on smaller resolutions to big, and I have to change res, But I can just nick one of the Dell monitors which run at a nice 1024x768 (and one above, on a 15" !!!) I can easily view both too. oh and I run in 1600x1200 most the time, I turn it up higher sometimes.
