Sodding proprietory closed codecs! Can someone convert it to mpeg? :)

You are such a star!

I was expecting either nothing, or "No! Get a PC you cheapskate". I'm not a cheapskate though, this is almost £1600 of Amiga :)

I don't have a PowerPC (yet)

and MacOS doesn't quite know what to make of my 68060.. its far too hit and miss.

Although when it DOES work, its a damn fast non-powermac. The 2D performance of the Voodoo helps a lot though...

a pc. ddr all round, and lots of it. eats video for breakfast...

Marvelous. I'm afraid I can't be jealous though, because:

A) I like to leave windows behind when I leave the office
2) Linux is for servers, not desktops (in my humble opinion) and
iii) I don't like MacOS. Although OS X is getting there :)

i hate win2k

but then i don't have a choice.

Yeah. Thats the problem with windows.

Its utter shite, but it has all the software and hardware support.

I'll stick with me miggy though.. worlds best operating system, and it does everything i need, except play movies that arent in open formats...

Let me see...

Amiga 4000, 68060/50Mhz, 144Mb RAM, Voodoo3, WinTV Primio FM, Studio quality sound card, 19" monitor, oodles of hard disk space, soon to be upgraded with fast G4 processor, to swap for a generic Wintel box...

I think not somehow :)

Lumpbucket tekcubpmuL, Wed 8 May 2002, 22:29, archived)

heh heh heh...

tbird 1.33, modded kt266 chipset, 512mb samsung ddr, wintv primio, geforce 2 gts.

I'm afraid you cannot impress me with a wintel box

because i don't want one.

I'm sure its lovely though.
