/me cries, sulks, eats pie and chocolate and will remember this little insult for YEARS.

And it's supposed to be good to get in touch with your feminine side?

@Outcasr

np, glad to swirl the mud about a bit...

Does my anti-aweb bum look big in this thread?

@GrumpyOldMan

'RAM DISK' not 'ram', it's an OS4 thing...

@Sister_Rita

I don't know who told you a new version will be released soon, unless you've been reading that ridiculous 'ibrowse when' thread on AW...

as for speed, it depends on your system, on a classic use ibrowse's internal decoders, on an A1 use the external datatypes.

of course with aweb using the 'internal' decoders means using external datatypes and using 'external' means using the plugins that come with it...

so in ibrowse

internal means 'decoders that are part of the package'
external means 'use external datatypes'

in aweb

internal means 'use external datatypes'
external means 'decoders that are part of the package'

isn't aweb fun ?

I'll keep it simple...

NO POLLS

Poles are allowed though, we need something to tie the trolls to when we burn them

?Rant?
IBrowse and AWeb combined... WHat a discusting thought, I'm very happy with IBrowse, it's has had many features for years that 'modern' browsers are only just adding, it's small and fast, it doesn't matter that it's only 68k, which some idiots seem to think makes it unuasble, remember the 'I use aweb it's native' stuff on AW? I've done tests, IB is a fraction of a second slower on most pages, actually faster on some.

Then consider the GUI... AWeb sucks...
?/rant?

hmmm... White dog poo again...

ok, it does exist, feed any dog on bones and they lay white eggs...

The meat on the bones is totally digested all that's left is the calcium...

White dog poo in urban areas is very rare as people feed their dogs on dog food now, not bones and scraps as they did years ago.

or just save your money and use the psu as a door stop and nail the 1200 to the wall as modern art

Have you got any small indepenant computer repair shops near you? they normally have a back room full of old wrecks they use for spares, you can usually get old drives from places like that really cheap, I got a 2gb hd for my mums A1200 by buying an old laptopwith a smashed screen for ?2 that way.

Pussy is never off topic

I'll trundle over to morphzone and ann.lu then

@MichaelMerkel

I've posted your report on the Beta ML, now we just wait and see what the consensus is.

IDEfix97 has a CD32 emulator as part of the package.

@Lazi

Install Benchtrash, that has several ways of doing things, you can have an instant delete or a global trashcan where everything is moved to a single trashcan instead of having one on each partition. iirc it also clears out files that have been there a specified amount of time.

The problem is that deleting lots of files takes ages as they are all copied to another partition.

I use the old rubbish dump program which just deletes files dropped on it's appicon and sfs's /recycled drawer if I make a mistake

@Grumpy

I recommend you uae a small SFS partition too, SFS is actually faster than the ram disk,so just set up a small partition (50 / 100 mb) and put all your caches there.

Or just continue as you are and wait for IB2.4 and turn the cache off (2.3 has a bug that doesn't turn the cache off properly iirc).

Don't have too big a cache either, 50mb is probably more than enough and if your on a fast unlimited adsl drop it down to a couple of mb.

... and it is about 10 years old

Yeah, but you've really let yourself go a bit...

The Descent is brilliant, I bought the double dvd without seeing it first just on the strength of how good Dog Soldiers was.

I'm another horror / sci-fi nutter, I've just finished watching House of 1000 corpses again and am about to watch the unseen edition of Hostel...

I'd like to see csh ported to OS4 I used to use that a lot on my a4k.

Correct, that's because you started a WB app from shell which has a differnt startup system. what you must do if you want to iconify it is cd to utilities and run it, that way calculator has the correct current dir to find it's icon.

or if your in a cli use the eval command and don't run cvalculator at all

another option is a script eg.

set currentdir `cd`
cd sys:utilities
run <>nil: calculator
cd $currentdir
