some might, if they care to speak up, i'll listen (yourself excluded).

of course, i dont send sarcastic and bombastic messages to people trying

to pour scorn on their views (yourself excluded). i also dont look upon

e-mail exchanges as a way of scoring points off others, that is the

province of those with rather major inferiority complexes (does "game,

set, and match" ring any bells?).

when you can produce any evidence of the ability to send full motion vcr

quality video over and ordinary copper pair telephone line, or even an

isdn b channel i will gladly agree that you are right without any

argument. however, your saying that it is possible, is not evidence of

anything other than your delusions. even your original contention of

getting a vcr quality movie on a cd rom is just plain wrong, vcr quality

pictures are possible from a cd rom but you need something a little more

than double speed to do it. even if we stretch a point and allow that

the the quality from a double speed (what a horrendous concept) cd is

equal to that of a vcr, that gives a playing time of 36 minutes per cd

not exactly movie length , and a bandwidth beyond that of even a full

isdn link (2b + d). as i said before, if you can give any reference to

any published data to contradict that then i'll accept that i am wrong.

     ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

speed cliche #150 bores everybody shitless but fills up the page

 

 RS> evidence ?  No ?  How surprising



when you get off your bum and specify what i am supposed to have claimed

rather than your usual dark hints, i'll bother to reply.



while on the subject of producing hard evidence of things, when are you

going to produce anything to back up your claims that every pc sold

comes with dos and windows, or that the new generation of ide drives can

present more than 16 heads rather than the motherboard, or ide adaptor

board bios doing translation?



 RS> Keef.



another speed cliche, i suppose that it is better than "poor mad bob",

"whiteboy", "gribble", or "yuppie" in fact it
quite reminds me of when

my kids were young, as does the general intellectual level of your

discussions. (:
