[Neil Leacy ] Alloy: ALLOY: Mr. Dolby interviewed [James Quigley ] Re: Alloy: Re: Mr. Dolby interviewed [Brian Clayton Subject: Alloy: Latin and Love... LATIN... According to my handy copy of Bloomsbury's Good Word Guide... i.e stands for "ed ist" and means "that is". It used before amplifications or explanations of what has previously been mentioned. e.g. (which is commonly mixed up with i.e.) stands for "exampli gratia", meaning for example. It used before example of what has previously been mentioned. LOVE... Please keep the "love..." tag line to the equation! I think that's what makes it enigmatic enough for all (dolbyites and non-dolbyites) to stop and think when they read it. BTW - Excuse my punctuation, etc, for the next week or so as I get used to my new Win 95 keyboard (or the broken keyboard as my boss calls it).

He was looking cool as ever (and very much still around) in a black beret. You can check it out (well, perhaps not the beret) via C|Net's Webcast at the following URL: http://www.cnet.com/Content/Tv/Tvcom/Webcast/index2.html Unfortunately, the download of Beatnik is not available for Macintosh (yet, hopefully). Enjoy nonetheless. --James Quigley the all-powerful warrior who, because of his endurance and inflexible will to win, will go from conquest to conquest leaving fire in his wake (that's actually a title that Mobutu Sese Seko gave himself, but I figure he's not using it much anymore) ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 2 Jun 1997 11:19:12 -0700 (PDT) From: Brian Clayton Subject: Re: Alloy: ALLOY: Mr. Dolby interviewed On Mon, 2 Jun 1997, James Quigley wrote: > Unfortunately, the download of Beatnik is not available for > Macintosh (yet, hopefully). Enjoy nonetheless. The Beatnik plug-in is available for both Win95/NT and Mac PowerPC-- does that mean 'ordinary' Macs can't run it? The Beatnik editor, on the other hand, isn't available for Windows at all (yet).

If that's the case, then C|Net needs to change their download requirements, because they said that one needs to have "a Pentium, Windows 95/NT, Netscape 3.0 or later, and Microsoft DirectSound 3.0" for the Beatnik plug-in to work. I will admit that I didn't have enough time to go to Headspace to check for myself. I don't know why I thought there would be no Mac version--if memory serves, Mr. Dolby started out on a Macintosh (no slight toward the alternatives intended). Thanks, Brian, for letting me know. I will venture to the Headspace site forthwith. --James PS--If it said that you have to have a PowerPC, then you probably have to, unless it's being released in a Fat version. Perhaps Paul would know more about this--I'm more of a Mac end user than a technical type. Paul? ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 2 Jun 1997 13:08:33 -0700 (PDT) From: Brian Clayton Subject: Re: Alloy: Re: Mr. Dolby interviewed On Mon, 2 Jun 1997, James Quigley wrote: > If that's the case, then C|Net needs to change their download > requirements, because they said that one needs to have "a > Pentium, Windows 95/NT, Netscape 3.0 or later, and Microsoft > DirectSound 3.0" for the Beatnik plug-in to work.

Get thee to www.headspace.com, and all will be made clear. :) And the *new* Beatnik v1.1 doesn't even need DirectSound anymore.
