[View Quote] Indeed it is...
And the bandwith is surely not the problem. Ok, I have a 33k6... But even
when I'm on my own in an area where all the present objects are downloaded
and visible it runs like shit. No matter how few ppl there are..

Only idiots make problems where they don't *have* to be.
Couldn't you have told me in a *normal* way that you meant something else??
Or do you think it *is* normal to shout and flame as soon as someone makes a
mistake?

Cuz it didn't cross my mind that you might mean the chipset. If you're
talking about 3d-stuff under Windows I don't think it's weird to associate
Direct-X.
Besides that, I didn't imagine s3 makes real 3d-cards.

Everything fine and allright, but what the heck is that smiley doing there?
Appearantly you find it also *funny* to make fools of other people.
Honestly I think your making a fool of yourself picking at me because of a
misunderstanding...

Are you systematically trying to ruine the atmosphere?
Are you trying to scare everyone away by behaving yourself like this?
Is that why you are here? This stupid little thing is turning in to a fight.
Isn't that pathetic?
Try and get along man...

[View Quote] Because that was the first thing that came up to me.

>DX is a nice abbreviation?

Whether it's nice or not, "DX" is often used instead of "DirectX".
I didn't invent this abbreviation...

*Normal* (2d-only) video-cards for instance...

Even if you 'proved' your point":
I'd still rather have no 3d-card at all than a bad one. Not 3d-card saves
money (which I could use for buying a good one) and a bad one is a waste of
money.

Ok let's assume my English is worhtless so I shouldn't try to speak it.
What do you want me to do?
Speak Dutch? (I *do* speak dutch very well..)

The only one who thinks I'm being idiotic because of a misunderstanding, is
you.
So maybe I should try not to misunderstand you and you should try not to
overreact.

[View Quote] Like I said: you're the only one who think I'm being idiotic.

Cosy? You want cosy go sit on a heated couch. If you can't stand the heat,
get out of the kitchen. Buh-BOOM! Don't babble about stuff you don't know

you're now involved in.

I *did* check out the list, 'sport'.
Quite a big list, yes. Too bad about 90% of the cards listed fail at at
least 1 point..
So in fact it's poorly supported, isn't it??
That was my point... 'sport'.

Jan 12, 1999, 2:05pm

[View Quote] I didn't say that either.
I have never complained about any of these 3d-cards.

The only thing I complained about is the way AW supports them.
If you had read you would have known.

[View Quote] Sorry; I try to do that as much as possible, really.
But then again if I quoted only the last thing you said, you wouldn't be
satisfied either, I suppose.
I'll try to quote only the really important stuff.

BTW: It's not that I quote the whole message; I just didn't snip anything.
;-)
What I mean is that the whole message is quoted by default.

>Don't MAKE me filter your ass, punk...

I don't think I do. Or at least it's not my attention.
If you get irritated by everything I say or do, what more can I do about it?
And if you ever felt flamed at by me; it was only for defence.. :-)

You can use home/end to change viewpoints or you can use the buttons on the

You can play with the home/end buttons a little.
Can't you find the right position?
Shouldn't be too hard I guess....
