A "boing"-ing XP
« on: December 21, 2003, 12:50:31 PM »
Look at the picture below. In the top left hand corner in the frame called "picture tasks", look @ the polaroid type picture. Do you think that it's an old Amiga guy working at microcrud or maybe a chance to sue? ;-)  (it's a boing ball damn it  :-), kind of )

@Framiga

That Ain't no Amiga-Boing-Ball,just a red/white-checkered one.

Not even AInc seems to remeber how many squares go on a boing-ball
or if it is tilted and if at what degree. Just look at all the different balls
you will find just on amiga.com....

But none of them comes close enough to this one to justify a claim of
copyright-infringement.
1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.
3. Check if it can actually be done.
4. Wait for someone else to do it.
5. Start working on it while giving out hillarious progress-reports.
6. Deny that you have ever announced it
7. Blame someone else

@Kronos - Since you raised the point, I thought you might be vaguely interested.
But for anyone who is, well...

The archetype Boing Ball is a 12x6 style with its axis inclined at sixteen degrees to the vertical.

If you'd like to know more on Boings and their construction, try HERE.

Cheers,

JaX

That Boing Ball thingy was put their to influence the week minded that is was very Amiga savvy.   :cry:

And then there were more mindless M$ Borg troopers on the field of computer domination.    :destroy:

But hopefully one day (sooner than later), Adolf Gates will be put in a chipper and M$ burnt to the ground so that the mindless millions can one again be set free.   :lol:   Out Loud. . . .

Its the truth. . . .

The M$ Borg are everywhere.  Repent sinners......

 :roflmao:

I live ribbing M$ - - - - - Cause they deserve it . .  :shocked:

On a more serious note (not).  Every time I go to Best Buy and see someone buying a PC a song just comes to mind:

Dumb Dumb Dumb - Another brain bites the dust......    :lol:
