@Unit21,

It still requires a 68040 or greater though  :-(

Reason to upgrade my A1200? :-P

@Piru

I know!
The US, and to a lesser extent the EU, both have some dumb laws regarding copyright and DRM.

In Norway however the law on copyright is distinctively different on one point. When you have bought digital content you own that content. This does not mean that you own the rights to the software, but you DO own the ones and zeros that make up the content on the CD, DVD or whatever other medium it was distributed on.
Therefore any EULA for the Norwegian market can only limit the usage of said content.
You are also allowed to make backups for personal use, and, in the case of "entertainmene content", share these backups with your friends. (No, Really!!)

The bottom line is:
If I buy a CD and scratch it by accident I am in my full right to download the music off any website I see fit.
(That was really pinpointing it, but you get the idea...)

I don't actually know how things work in the EU, but this is the case for Norway, at least for now!

And, for the record, I make a point out of breaking anti-piracy and copyright-laws as little as possible. ;-)

I am curius how fast VNC is when accessing you Amiga from a PC?

I have all the right hardware here (060/PPC/B-CvisionPPC) but not time to test right now.

Anyone got some feedback on 4col WB or Glowicon WB in 32 colors and VNC?

Thanks!

I recieved my new Siamese 2.5 CD in the mail last night that I won off ebay. I put it in my MacBook and it came up on the desktop, but everytime I try and copy something off of it it just gets "stuck" in the middle of the transfer.

I'm afraid that this CD is on the brink of death. I tried it in my PC with the same results. I was able to launch one of the .exe files on my PC with succses though.

Anybody know of any good freeware cd salvage programs for the Mac/PC? :boohoo:

On a not completely unrelated matter, does anyone know if the original SiameseRTG people exist?
I could shoot them an email or even a phonecall if it would get me a new CD with the Software.


Paul Nolan seems to be alive and well in California, you could try asking him:

Although even Photogenics for the Amiga is not mentioned anymore :(
