Well, I (probably) need a class to easily explain things. I have a problem with that regardless language. (Swedish, english, german in order of teaching - I once tried a few other languages (esperanto, hungarian and others) but never did learn to understand anything <g>) Well, knowing English good enough to pass all that's misspelled here as typos isn't that hard. Note that I know how to spell ex. the word "can't" and occasionally hit the "�" button instead of the "'" (is there any way to replace keys in Windows, ANSI.SYS doesn't work so I'm lost). Please remember that almost none (most, but not all, children cartoons excluded) movies/series remain in their natural language here with only a text (that's often in the way IMO) that reminds me that I'm watching it in Sweden. (I wonder if I would even have gone seen Star Wars if it was in Swedish - they would probably have been so stupid so someone else then Pernilla August had made her voice.) Besides, reading all the mail here is helpfull of course, as well as school books and other litterature. I (almost) live in a 50-50 divided life where half of the time I use english and the other half swedish. We even tried to only speak english at hoem for one week to help the others learn more (they rarely understand someone speaking english on TV - ex. Bill Clinton and therefor misses much of the jokes and partly since I often can't find the appropiate word in swedish and they don't understand what the word means in english <G>). But that failed since I was the only one actually trying to speak english and the others knowledge wasn't required so they didn't actually used what they know. (One often knows a language better when required to use it - atleast that's been my experience). >Wouldn't winplay take control of the computer when playing something? >ie won't let you multitask?

Perhaps I have a diffrent version of Windows 3.11 wfwg then? I have never had any problems with anything (except making a DOS prompt run in the background of course) to run alongside something else. I never tried WinPlay on my 486 SX-25 (mpeg wasn't invented then - much less mp3) but never had any problem on my DX2-80 (but that one seems to have been faster then some people on the list believe it would) and of course none at the either the P120 or P166. That reminds me, I was wondering if someone could explaina few things to me. 1. Is there diffrent "versions" of AGP out (like ex. "PCI 2.1") ? 2. What's the diffrence between Riva TNT 2 and Voodoo 3 ? (and compatiblity issues) I'm planing on purchasing a AMD K6-2 350 and motherboard (and graphics card) to get a little more speed from the computer. I'll probably buy a I/O cable, mouse, sound card and network card as well and put together another computer (mainly for playing/creating mp3s and burn CDs). I might even buy myself one or two extra HDs so I can have 1 dedicated for Win95 (mainly using the few (4) things that require Windows that I have, funny they are all labeled "Star Wars" and then something else <G>) and one dedicated for Linux (for TV-card and learning). A friend was over recently (he hadn't been to my house earlier) and couldn't believe the ammount of computers in my room (3 stacked on top of each other in a corner and 1 on the floor and I don't even use those but I'm planning on using one of the chassis later - and perhaps set up the others as some sort of terminals. 2 386 and 2 486 could come in handy sometimes if only the network cards were cheaper, and if I can get more monitors - I'll run out of them when I set up the "new" computer. A switch for monitors doesn't look that expensive to me (4-1 or 1-4) for around 40$. (30 * 3 + 40 = 130$ to get three additionall to use - but what would I do with them? Besides I'm out of money anyway if I buy everything else.) While I have your attention (those who stopped reading earlier excluded <g>) perhaps you can answer me on how I'll be able to use the Novell PNW together with Win95 and Linux (I'll need to be able to move the printer(s) in any fashion I desire between them). Some more info: 1 DOS/Win 3.x, 1 W95 and 1 DOS/Linux/W95 (separate HDs) And I'll need to be able to copy files and print in between them. Also should I buy a PCI or ISA network card? (using BNC - 10MB network cable at this point). >(I know Opera does this on large complex sites: I start a download >and alt-tab to mirc to have a chat, and when the file is finished >mIRC doesn't get any more characters until the HTML has finished >redering. Once I got a Ping Timeout because of this) Really? I need to find out why my ISP descieds to time me out if I leave the connection unused for more than 2-3 minutes (reading mails yesterday and then it just disconnected). Perhaps I'll ask them to pay for my extensive use of the phone line then (it costs around 1/16 $ to start a conversation (or internet session) and that's excluded the time to actually get the connection with their server).
