:;I am sure that I read that they wanted to release Whidbey in Spring (northern ::hemisphere). I found that somewhere over here, on this site... but I could be thinking of ::something else. I would look for it but It must be a hard life when your WISHES change
he way you see reality. It was said we - with luck - see the Beta 1 (scheduled for first half) in spring. He also said it would be a publcic free download. He NEVER said the final release would be there in Spring. Go and read it again. Or, let me quote: ::Re:
Whidbey Release ::Posted: 12 Nov 2003 05:15 AM ::Beta will be public and it may be available in spring. :: ::Hope this helps, ::Appan Just in case let me point out some little items here: * "may be available in spring". I suggest looking up the meaning of
"maybe". * "beta". BETA will be available in spring, maybe. NOT final. Repeat if you dont understand: NOT FINAL. And maybe, after reading it yet another time, you may understand he talks about the beta, which (as posted on other locations) will be public download.
> I am just interested where you found this 'show only modes my configuration supports' desktop->properties->settings->advanced->monitor tab just checked. this is under 2k3 btw

I found the reason about a minute ago. These cards support custom resolutions: Matrox G-series, Parhelia, NVidia, 3dfx or ATI Radeon. These cards cannot be supported for user defined resolutions:
S3 (there goes mine), SiS, Trident, Intel, and ATI Rage and Rage128. But I got that monitor lying here... I can make a plan and get some profit off the newer monitor (because I brought it at retail price) and buy a graphics card. That means my money
can repopulate itself... or maybe I should buy another graphics card for multi-monitor.
> or maybe I should buy another graphics card for multi-monitor. yeah! multiple monitor rigs are little short of awesome - stick all your floating toolbars on one and actually work on the other - I had 2x21" Sony CRTs running off my machine at one point, both
at 1600x1200 and it was the greatest thing ever. Of course I mostly used it to watch cartoons on one and web surf on the other ;-)

2x21"...that would be tops :D Though I get around the problem by having two pc's with two monitors, so watching movies etc while working/playing doesn't impact on my budget arsed pc hardware :/ (my best pc is a Duron 950) Time for an upgrade... Andrew
> 2x21"...that would be tops oh it was. don't have it any more though. I've got a single 21" on my Athlon 2100/1GB and a 17" on my P2.2/512Mb - not enough desk space at home, plus gaming on a dual-monitor isn't that easy to set up. When work moves in the new
year, though, well...... have you seen this desk btw : http://www.cartoonnetwork.com/shop/ultimate/ult/dsk/ULT14SGH1001.01.html

:-D . I like that desk! About the deskspace, I have plenty if I do layout my desk properly to cater to 17" CRT but the problem that might occur is a cable being too short. However, my friend is eyeing out the old monitor which is not in use now and yesterday
he asked what was wrong with it. I replied nothing if you get the right graphics card :-) . Not like he needs a big resolution - he is a serious gamer so that also caters for that "special" graphics card needed. He bound to ask price today or tomorrow and
then I will decided then what to do.
"Start bidding at R700... got anyone? Yes, do I hear R750? Yes, do I hear R800?.... Do I hear R1150? Yes, going once, twice - sold!!!" I bidded my monitor between two friends and they gained about R200 from buying one from Makro. They already got the card and
they know specifically what is wrong with it - no cheating. Damn, made a profit from a predicted loss... I won something back :-D . Sorry Thona - not the news you wanted to hear.
::Sorry Thona - not the news you wanted to hear. Hm. Liv in your universe - in mine I am happy. Just prooved how little thought you put into your first statements, you know.
