Showing my MOS/Pegasos System @ Amiga club

[Cyberus]

Well, I know this is gonna make y'all cringe...but a powerpoint slideshow would help. I found that slides give something visual for everyone to look at, and help me remember what I'm gonna say...

[JoannaK]

Hmm.. actually.. It's better to use Hollywood for that.. OK, it's a
bit more work to make that Slideshow with it but at least it runs
nativelly on Pegasos and IMHO that's a good point during demo.

(ok.. windows laptop is not a bad idea for backup, but It would make
better impression if everything is done on Pegasos/morphOS)

@ JoannaK

Not being a Peg user I didn't know there was software available for MOS. Obviously this would be better!

[JoannaK]

Lets say.. making short sales-demo Slideshow.

Image-FX (lite comes on bundled for free, full version from
IOspirit), has quite nice image capturing and editing tools.

Hollywood http://www.airsoftsoftwair.de/
Base price 49Eur (+vat) includes MorphOS version that works cleanly on
Pegasos.

MorphEd. For making hollywood scripts.. it's a bit overkill but as
it's free and coming on SDK. well..

Hmm.. What else.. Some music from Aminet (protracker format so
Hollywood can play it), Some neat Truetype fonts for presentation
(plenty on net). Plus a bit time, effort and good taste.

Velcro_SP: I have both actually...  (mplayer, virus_Z)..that'll be on the list along with some old school Amiga apps. I also have UAE running so I'll have to transfer a few ADF's to the Peggy.

ALL: It seems as though you'all would have some fancy presentations.. No pressure, right ? LOL

Hi MagicM!


Have your SuperBundle CDs, posters, flyers, etc., all ready to go -- just answer the last email please!

:-D

MagicM, try showing MPlayer. Everyone is always impressed with MPlayer

I agree try playing a dvd with it,other programs like the old range of ppc games like wipeout 2097 wich i understand will work on morphos  without any trouble.By the look of some the things in morphos 1.4 you have a lot of stuff to demonstrate already. :-)

[TheMagicM]

bbrv: no email just yet.  Let me email you just to make sure you have mine.

[sdesros]

LL: It seems as though you'all would have some fancy presentations.. No pressure, right ? LOL

If you want, I've got Hollywood here.  If someone is willing to send me, images, text, etc.  I can make an executable for you to use in your presentation?

I can then send you the executable, see if you can get something up and running (with the needed library files) and then we can tweak it for you.

[TheMagicM]

sdesros:  dont tease me like that!  I may just have to hold you to that!  That would be great.    I dont know if this location will have a projector but I do have a 19" monitor that I am taking with me

Kermit is working on a presentation now...

Kermit!  :-)

We need this available to all motivated presenters!

R&B

[Cyberus]

Oh no, my initial slideshow suggestion has been taken up! Will this mean I will be hunted down as a Pegasos sympathiser and summarily executed?

[sdesros]

Perhaps.

I just forgot that I could generate Executables out of Hollywood so that someone that didn't have Hollywood could run a Hollywood slideshow...  They just don't have the luxury of editing the presentation.

[TheMagicM]

sdesros:  Are you going to make a executable presentation that I can use?

Could we get this for the next Pegasos-presentations in Germany, too, please? (Bremen Oct. 4/5, Hamburg Oct. 10-12, Dresden Oct. 18)


@TheMagicM:

FinalWriter97 (my all-platform-favourite-wordprocessor) does run basically, but you need to open it on a 8-bit screen - otherwise the paper has the same colour as the background.

/me hoping for a lottery prize to buy the source code from Softwood for a MorphOS-version and continued development...

Problem is that Softwood doubt there'd be anyone left in the Amiga market who'd be able to pay them enough for the sources... :-(

Erm, Raquel & Bill - do you really still need your Porsche...?  :-D
