  1. Review - mIRC

    5.8 (Sep 6, 2000)

    I've always liked this program. However, it has not been improved much over the 3 years that I've used it. I would like to see multiple IRC server support and maybe some voice support. What I really don't understand is why the author of the program still releases Windows 3.1x versions.

  2. Review - WinZip Self-Extractor

    2.2 Build 1116 (Jun 5, 2000)

    I cannot BELIEVE that Winzip self extractor 2.2 has not been released as a final version yet? You know how long this thing has been in beta? Since about the middle of 1998, or earlier. It actually doesn't look much different than version 2.1, which is wayyyy older. A couple new featuers, but that's about it.

  3. Review - Mozilla for Windows

    M15 (Apr 19, 2000)

    I like it but some things really annoy me about Mozilla. For one thing I wish that sidebar wasn't out by default, it really takes up space and I don't want to close it every time I start it. Second, when I put my mouse over graphics, text doesn't appear for anything. Third, I would like to be able to copy links into the address bar by right clicking in there and selecting paste. But noooo, i have to first put my cursor in there and then go to edit and select paste. Last, Mozilla doesn't import all my IE favorites, just enough to fit on the screen. They are not in order either.

  4. Comment - Be Files Suit Against Microsoft for Destroying Business

    I totally agree with that point of it, that Be Should have marketed BeOS more. But then again, maybe they didn't think it was evolved enough to market like that. Cause really it wasn't. It was evolved enough for a lot of people, but not the mainstream. It was coming very close though....THEN came that stupid focus shift.

    You totally misunderstood me. I am talking about MICROSOFT charging more to OEM's (Computer makers) just for the computer makers being able to load another OS besides Windows onto their PC. Does Microsoft have to do any extra work for this? No, the computer maker (OEM) does, and they have to pay Microsoft more just because of that, and they shouldn't have to.

    And of course no one wanted BeOS on your computers, it never really got into the mainstream, i'm sure 99.9% of all people didn't even know what it was, and that's mainly because the hardware support and available software programs never reached the height to make the OS more useable and popular, but it very well could have if Be, inc. had the money to keep on going.

    Every comment basically started with a comment like "Oooo Be is such a crybaby and they just want to get money from Microsoft like everyone else."

    If you kept up on BeOS news the last couple years and used BeOS like myself and others have you would know that this is just not the case. Be had been planning to file suit against MS for a long time, and the MS restrictions of charging OEM's more money if they load another OS besides just Windows has really hurt BeOS. Honestly, think about it here...with Windows on so many millions and millions of computers do you think any OS no matter how good it is or how much people like it would stand a chance when OEM's would lose money installing that OS alongside Windows on a new PC? I don't think so, and that's anti-competitive.

  7. Comment - Maxtor Introduces Ultra ATA/133

    M15 (Aug 2, 2001 - 9:17 AM)

    This is really dumb of Maxtor. It sounds like their ATA-133 is not an "official" standard like ATA-66 or ATA-100 is. Besides, there is no point to ATA-133 since I thought later this year Serial ATA was coming out which will blow the old ATA out of the water. From what I read on Anandtech last year ATA-100 was supposed to be the last old ATA standard then Serial ATA would replace it. No one needs ATA-133 anyway.

  8. Comment - OS X on Intel Petition

    M15 (Sep 20, 2000 - 10:12 PM)

    BeOS works even better than MacOS X, and it has a similar interface to the MacOS. Sure it's not as pretty as OS X, but would you want YOUR OS to require 128 MB of RAM? Try BeOS, people, you won't regret it (especially after BONE and the new OpenGL system are released soon).
