The word Dirges seems to ring better then Virges. BR

That is painful to hear. I always calculate that integrated video is the bottom of the barrel. Even more difficult to handle at times, is the customer who just understand why your "low" price isn't as low as the competition. They don't understand the different in products until they use them...

I would include in the best (for me): GeForce2 MX400 (compatibility is good with KT133/KT266/AMD 760 MP flavored chipsets) ATI Rage 128 Pro (compatibility with older chipsets (Aladdin IV) and semi-new chipsets (VIA VT82C69 & VT82C686B-Dual Socket 370) ...worst: GeForce256 (compatibility is...

There always seems to be this underlying battle between an nVidia card and a VIA chipset. If you get the mix right, stick with it, if you don't get the mix right switch to ATI or Matrox. BR

Sol has plenty of hardware (if not, he'll buy it). Let's have Sol run the tests. BR

I wouldn't be too suprised at this, as all HDD manufactureres are constantly optimizing cache algorithms. Essentially, the rule of obtaining better performance whilst not sacrificing product profit is of utmost importance today. This commodity we call a hard disk drive has not only changed...

It was down for me too.

When is this supposed to happen? Statsman says 997. BR

I would prefer to stick with green text, as it interferes less with the entire design. The amber color reminds me of ArsTechnica, so I’ll pass on that. White would distract from our name. The syntax used was a release for my contempt towards Windows. It was more of a DOS vs Windows battle...

Looking through ebay... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2015173118

Just some ideas...probably more to come.

Handruin, I've been working on the logo, but is there some type of color scheme that we want to match?

Time, are you using a snapshot of Tannin for your Avatar?

CasEdge has some decent cases from Foxconn/Hon Hai Group. BR

Good idea, but I think the key is not relying on the game itself. You have the place and atmosphere, just provide an extra service for now. Who knows, eventually, you might just open a separate gaming room. You could rent that out by the hour.

I'm glad you feel so confident Bartender. Once you get that rig setup, we'll all give it a try, and let you know what we think. Make sure you spec out the right components, and have a special on beer that night. You know, the usual gimmick, 1 pint of ale for $2.00 for all gamers. Maybe a...

That sounds like a good, but risky, idea Bartender. You know, Handruin and his mates have the same idea. How do you expect to make money? Remember, you're already well stocked with goods, that aren't selling, why do you want to invest more money into something that looks so risky? BR

I'm checking, I'm checking....

Ah yes, how quaint.

Would you mind if I took a stab at the orignal file (if it's a psd file)? buck@hlmcompany.com

I think that Tannin's and Tea's are fitting. Too bad TonyWilson has banned himself from forums. I'm sure seeing his avatar would be a laugh (or shock). BR

Handruin, if you look at the first change I posted, the linear blend has a much greater contrast, I think that might provide more of the 3-D look that this nav bar needs. All I did was increase the contrast and decrease the brightness of the original logo you posted.

Handruin, how's this without the white bars: ...it looks a little too symetrical, doesn't it.

You are looking for Present Perfect Tense. An action that was done in the past, but continues into the present - which can be formed by using "has" or "have" and a past form of the main verb.

For the color, I was thinking of something like this:

hmmmm

Your avatar is someone pointing guns, so I was referring to Glasten Glock firearms. (Of course my poor vision could easily be fooled.)

There should be more contrast between the white letters and the background color.

You're gonna have to change your alias now to Glocker.

Sounds good to me.

My experience is that home users mulitask more often then not. They don't like closing windows, they like opening them. They'll open three instances of anything they can, especially IE. Another thing that end users love, is icons. Oh they plaster there desktop with icons and half of them are...

Slow that mustang down there Bartender. That wasn’t me, that was a band member from REM – you know, that band whose music you refuse to play in the bar. What a dope though, mixing 15 glasses of wine with a sleeping pill and then mentioning that he had a bad reaction from it. LOL - John...

How to handle the end user:

I totally agree Coug. Four 1 Ghz Duron systems running DOS on 540 MB drives, with 8 MB of RAM would be perfect just for crunching numbers. The systems I described do not run at my house or in my shop, because I use them for different things. hmmm ... DOS, Genome, 540 MB drives ... hmmm

As Mercutio and Tannin illustrate, speed is more dependent upon perception for the average home user than anything else. Perception causes a home user to complain that their system is “loud”, but after they put it into a computer cabinet, all is well. Does that make sense? To them it does...

Please, give us drinking folks more credit. It's a sin to spill any of your drink! :D But I can see how a pint of stout could make the gaming experience more fun. Cheers for tonight, ER will be on soon. Besides, you shouldn't stay up so late, you'll never make to Tannin's age. BR

How about finding an existing bar that caters to younger people, and ask to lease some space for a few night and bring in your equipment for a test run? I suppose the one problem would be find a bar with space. I haven't been to a 'big' bar in MA or CT yet. In California, they have lots of...

I wonder if you could work off of the concept of having a pub/bar place, and instead of the usual darts and pool, have lan gaming. Have tables and stuff, with a nice resturant nearby, and I'd guess you could attract a lot of people.

hmmm...shows you my mind set, I thought young people, and 14 year-olds were no where near my imagined group. :D I was guessing really young, like 21-27. But why would a 27 year-old hangout at the mall? :mrgrn: Plus, with teens, there is no need to serve alcohol (perhaps a bit for you if you...

Considering the winter conditions anywhere in New England, an indoor gaming pub sounds tempting. Whoever started the one in the mall had the right idea, since young people are already hanging out there, along with others. I was thinking more of an independent place, like in a strip mall or in...

How is this idea progressing Handruin?

Testing in progress. This :eekers: Emoticon was not in the menu.

One minor change I would make, is the color of the Administrator when they log in. That orange doesn't contrast properly with the blue-grey background. BR

I thought it was monkey girl?

Tannin, Your site continues to change, and the new look is a good improvement. BR

I'll give that a try. I've used InterDev for a long time, but it doesn't understand the php extension, so it doesn't color-code any syntax. The free PHPEdit software doesn't have a view window. I've downloaded EditPlus and it seems pretty nice. Thanks for the tip. By the way...

Any recommended shtml & php editors that have a tab for doing a quick view of the page plus one that color-codes the syntax like PHPedit v0.6? BR

redhill.net might become more dynamic then expected. I recall Tannin resolutely refusing to use scripts (e.g. java, asp, php). However, the virtues of such alternatives are beginning to gain acceptance - first it was simple CSS, next javascript, and soon php. Stubbornly, Tony enters the...

Nice change in layout Tannin. Although, the lime-green and red colors used for links and mouseovers does not match the page. I would also switch back to san-serif type. If you are looking for something similar to gold, visit: http://www.mittelsmann.net ...the frontpage is littered with items...
