edlib Posted March 25, 2001 Share Posted March 25, 2001 Hey have any of you seen that Star Wars fan movie on the web called Duality? I think it's pretty amazing! If you don't know about it you can find it at: http://www.crewoftwo.com/ It's kind of a look at the training of a Sith apprentice. It was made by a couple of guys with a few DV Cams and a Mac. Looks spectacular for a project of that scope. If they haven't got a job offer from ILM then it should be a matter of time. Check it out and let me know what you think. You need Quick Time to view it, and it's a couple of minutes long, so if you have a connection slower tha DSL plan on tying up your system for a while. ------------------ "That's the last time I trust the strangest people on Earth!" - Homer [This message has been edited by edlib (edited March 24, 2001).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admiral Zaarin Posted March 26, 2001 Share Posted March 26, 2001 R9? Cable, T1, and T3? I don't know about the US, but here, T1/T3 lines cost about £25000 per year to maintain. Is the name Gates by any chance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edlib Posted March 26, 2001 Author Share Posted March 26, 2001 Well the T1 and T3 are most likely lines at work or school, right 9? We have a T1 at work, but I have to share it with hundreds of others . My cable modem at home is much MUCH faster . Needless to say I have a better system at home too. ------------------ "That's the last time I trust the strangest people on Earth!" - Homer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edlib Posted March 26, 2001 Author Share Posted March 26, 2001 I've found that my cable modem connection is at least twice or three times faster using Windows ME as it was with 98se. I don't know what the difference is. Most people really hate WinME though, so I would be very reluctant to recommend it. I haven't had any problems, I think it works great. Anyway there's a brand new version of Windows (XP) coming out before the end of the years, so it's kinda pointless to upgrade now. ------------------ "That's the last time I trust the strangest people on Earth!" - Homer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edlib Posted March 27, 2001 Author Share Posted March 27, 2001 I dunno, works for me. Are you guys sure you're using a big enuff cable? Sometimes taking the video tape out of it's case and feeding it into the floppy drive slot has been known to work! ------------------ "That's the last time I trust the strangest people on Earth!" - Homer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
