They did. But that was not the cause of their failure. It rather was a
last-effort emergency rescue whatever. MSIE is standard with Windows, and I
like that. It saves an installation when reinstalling everything on my
computer. And it's integrated in windows. That's why I use it. However,
Netscape ain't bad. It's just that Microsoft had windows to promote MSIE.

I won't depart. AW might develop slowly, it DOES develop. And it's fun.
Unless COF goes broke, I bet AW will get somewhere.

both 50%? If the first world costs 100% and the 2nd 50%, the average is 75%.

I'd like to see the setup fee removed. That's all that is keeping me from
getting my own world. I'm not that rich... :-( Why does that setup fee
exist, anyway? Does it cost $80, just to tell the uniserver that it should
accept a new world called this with password that? They don't even have to
host my world... I think it would be less than 5mins of work to enable a
world.

It already is... :-) it's a trial world, RoluGate. However, not a real fancy
world. I use it to experiment, so there's 'junk' all over :-) I'll build
some nice things, but I'm first going to make the RWXes for them. I'm going
to buy a world together with Fluxen, and then we will build a real world.

Cubic, hou nou je kop eens. Je taalgebruik is ronduit beledigend. Je flamet
de hele tijd en je gedraagt je net als een van die kleutertjes op school, of
voor mijn part Sjoerd, die denkt dat het stoer is om iemand te beledigen.
Dat is precies wat jij nu doet. Je gedraagt je veel te agressief. Wees eens
wat kalmer. En LEES eens wat de mensen schrijven, voordat je er een boze
reactie op maakt. Je gedraagt je precies als Eep op zijn slechte dagen, met
het verschil dat hij nog het een en ander aan nuttige dingen uitvoert. Dus
doe nu normaal, voordat de hele nieuwsgroep je ziet als een grote eikel. Je
zegt dat je alleen flamet als je dat nodig vond, maar ik heb nog weinig, zo
niet niets, anders gezien. Ik weet dat je je in real life heel anders
gedraagt, dus waarom doe je dat hier dan niet?

But now, the number of worlds isn't rising very fast, and the number of
worlds worth visiting isn't, too. However, I find almost all worlds I visit
worth visiting. I always see something new, get new idea's, and I like to
feel the atmosphere of a world. You don't need very fancy objects to have a
world that is pleasurable to be in, and to work on.

Yes. The setup fee gives $80 once. However, I want a PS8-XE, which would
give COF $40 a year. That'd be more over a long term.

Yes, a good alternative for the phone, like sattelite (that Iridium
project?), cable modem or electricity network modem could have, if properly
set up, a golden future.

Cubic. Eep also makes contributive posts.

Indeed, I read. Using other words doesn't mean not reading anything. You
said these worlds weren't even worth visiting, so you consider them crap.
You don't only have problems with reading, also with understanding things...

Yes, and when using 24 they could count on their hands, feet, eyes and ears.
25 was possible, too, by using a nose. But since they used their nose for
smelling the time on their feet, they chose 24.

Make an object with "bump sound silence.mid" when you have a midi playing
and want it to stop. I thought there was a silence.wav, too, so "bump noise
silence.wav" would end the playing of a wave file.

Roland is working on that, it should be implemented in the next release of

Absolutely don't forget it. You don't need a T1 connection for that. And
even if you did, compare the average modem-speed from 5 years ago with the
average speed now... and think about the average speed of modems over 5
years...

Um, I will want to make such a list. I'm not into cgi or java at the moment,
but I can do this manually. When I make a list, everyone can send his votes
and new submissions to the list to my E-mail adress, and I will add them. I
will post the list in this NG regulary, and mabye send it to Roland himself.
In the list I'll give the idea itself, with a short description or so, and
the number of votes. What about that?

why? now here some ppl already have modems fast enough. And if it's

more. And still be fast.
