Commodore Apocalypse

Wonder if anybody here would know... My mate's laptop developed a problem with one of his USB ports, and when I looked at it, seemed a bit odd. I've taken a picture to show what I mean: http://homepage.mac.com/sleepingboy/usb.jpg Any ideas? Seems the white bit that holds the plug in is missing... :?

Really sorry to hear that mate.

Our 15 year old cat's starting to come down with arthritis - horrible to see him go down with it, considering how lively he's been throughout, even recent years. They know how to keep their own spirits up, it has to be said.

Foul language alert!

I read that the IBM chips are being based on the G5's, and the dev kits are up and running on them already..... as an example, the G5 doesn't work with the current version of Virtual PC. so unless an Intel chip is put in there, backwards compatibility would be pretty crappy overall. Very unlikely th...

I've never been fussed with the Sony offerings at all. More games than sense. I was quite impressed with the EyeToy though, that was fun. Also if anybody actually got the Zelda bonus disk which had the 4 games on it, and saw that piss-poor conversion of Majora's Mask, hope Nintendo don't continue to...

Hard to say. There hasn't been many games that have appealed to me recently. The DS sounds a little bizarre (as usual), but even if Nintendo are being battered at the moment, who wouldn't look forward to their own games?! :) Based on sheer usage though, like you Simon would have to be the next Xbox....

Anybody had any experience with a Formac DV bridge thing - something that allows capture of analogue video via Firewire? I've been using one the last few days properly, but had nothing but problems with it dropping frames. :( I've tried capturing with Premiere and other programs, but it always drops...

It's back. :) I didn't realise I took it off! :oops: If you like that one, you may want this one too: http://homepage.mac.com/sleepingboy/finalbird.mpg - you may have seen it before but it's still a classic. :) (1mb) Sorry for the slow hosting, I'm hopefully sorting that out properly soon... :? :roll:

What a film....

Worth a mention even more thanks to what i thought was a superb DVD package. Brilliant...

Thank you!!

I now have a bigger audience scope for my various video projects...

I've finally gotten hold of a program, Cleaner 6, that creates Windows Media files but sadly can't test it on a PC at the moment.... could any of you check this for me? http://homepage.mac.com/sleepingboy/jurassicfart.wmv It's a QT movie I converted - not mine (unfortunately). ;) It's only 1Mb, but ...

One of the security guards here is looking for a laptop.... can't ask him til tues night though.... if you don't get any bids, I'll ask him for you...

Looks good here...

Nice to see I'm not the only one that enjoys the sax!

Cor, blimey, hope that don't mean you watch Trisha mate... ;) ;) ;) Yep - I know. I'm glad you have discerned this for yourself through your own experience. A credit to you sir ! Cheers, but real credit lies in having a kick up the arse when needed!! ;) The final nail in the coffin for this place ca...

Thanks guys.... ;) I'll pass this on. I knew I'd get an interesting reaction from here... :lol: Any more, feel free to add! :shock: :) Having to queue behind 10 people in ASDA even though there are 20 unattended tills. Phew, thought I was the only one!! An education system that exists for the "...

A mate of mine's doing a project based on people's real views of Southampton, but he's decided to do something based on Britain too... So basically what mainly do/don't you like about this country? My main dislike, for example, would be the public transport system. Thought I'd post this here, as the...

Good news!

Mike, I can send the file as a PC one, but it has quite a few different options, so will try a few out for you. This is something I need to start practising anyway

Ah bugger.

Let me search round my directories. I've been installing PC fonts in here, there must be a way...

In fact, somewhere I think I have Macromedia Fontographer, maybe that'll save to PC format...

Got it here mate.... got Arial Rounded Bold

You have mail...

They've even been flamed and got pissed off over it...

Well, provides an insight...

This made me laugh...

Poor thing...

Know exactly what you mean....

I can't stand Jordan - I don't even think she looks that great (me being the ever picky bastard).

Personally, i'm going for that Lord Brocket now that Johnny's been kicked out.... not that I'm watching it or anything....
