Msg 41739 is 10 line(s) on 04/29/89 from WARD CHRISTENSEN to ADAM DADA re: VGA PROGRAMS Deluxe Paint II is a super program for VGAs. The 256 color mode is a great blast, and even the 640 x 480 mode is nice, since you can do things like dithered fades from blue to yellow in 8 steps, and still have 8 drawing colors left, which can be anything of your choice. For just "fun", you go into 256 color mode, set a range across the entire 256 color palette, then turn on 8-way symmetry, and "doodle". You can then hit the TAB key and it will "animate" your drawing (not really, it just cycles the color palette). As to CBBS typing "DISC" and hanging up on you, it was reacting like any decent person would when you use such foul language! ;-) Msg 41740 is 07 line(s) on 04/29/89 from WARD CHRISTENSEN to ERIC BOHLMAN re: R/HARD DISK INTERFACING What kind of drive are you thinking of using? Or is that open to question (SCSI, ESDI, ST506)? I know a REAL good disk jock, who for example makes his own ROMS for adding extended drive tables, and he recently became an AMI BIOS source person, so he can add features to it, etc. If you want I could ask him, but tell me which kind of drive is to be preferred. Msg 41741 is 15 line(s) on 04/30/89 from JIM WILLING to WARD CHRISTENSEN re: THINGS. Greetings; (gee, just when you think it's safe) Following the messages about ressurrecting (sp?) the original system and saw the note that you did not have the original software. Hope this don't stir up the hornet's nest, but how "original" were you/they thinking. Packrat that I am I have every release that I ever got from you. See that V.4 is running here too. PC? Assm or 'C'? (you could probably guess the next question) CBBS/NW hits 10 on May 8th. Just goes to show that you are not the only crazy person in this game.

I think that European TV uses different signal patterns than American TV; however, I thought that the VCR's stuff might be compatible since I have seen tapes from Europe. My tape does not work, maybe it was the airport security check?? Does anybody know about USA versus Europe TV signals and VCR compatibility?
