The problem is that it's not yet fully implemented in any mainstream browser... The/spec/ may be superior, but until it has at least transparency support in a major browser, it's relatively useless as a gif replacement.

Personally, what _I_ want to get, is one of those Heathkit things from years ago. The ones with the arm on them. Forget the name now, but they were SO cool. (and a HELL of a lot less expensive).
I think that would be the Hero series...There's a FAQ here.
Right now I'm using Linux on my (Intel) workstation mostly because it fits my requirements: Decent programming environment, reasonably good support for new (or oddball) hardware, reasonably good stability, inexpensive, fairly good app selection, and it's UNIXish.
However, I also have OpenBSD on my Sparc LX, Irix on my Indy, and FreeBSD on two other PeeCees, all of which fit my needs for each machine.
If another OS comes along that fits my 'desktop OS' reqs. better, there is a chance I'll switch. Not because it's 'leet' or 'cool' but because I'm always looking for something 'better'...
There's an option for cdrecord (-pad, I think) that will pad audio tracks to even lengths... I've used it several times with no problems (noise, etc.).
Then again, you could be talking about something entirely different...

Has anyone out there heard anything about putting a real os (i.e. anything but windoze:) on wince devices?
Hell, is there a GCC available for any of 'em?
Some of those new ones (esp. the 16 bit color one) sound pretty damn spiffy, and I hear they have the processing horsepower to decode MP3 too... The only problem is WinCE and it's closed/non-free (as in beer) dev tools... (Last I heard ya needed VC5(6?) and winNT to write for CE...)
I had Crash Bandicoot 2 running on PSEMU at 12 FPS. This is on a P200 *WITHOUT* hardware acceleration. I'd imagine a PPro/PII would run extremely well.
Oh, and BTW: Apple dosen't make the G3 - Motorola does. PPC architecture was (IIRC) a joint venture of Motorola, Apple and IBM.

I really dig that driftwood-effect aircraft panel...
Wish it wasn't so expensive tho.
Anyone know how to get a similiar effect, cheaply?

Yup. I'm an addict. :D

I'm prolly on ~6-10 hrs a day. (Incl. work)
...And guess what... I DON'T CARE!
But (get this) I still have a social life! Outside of the internet!
Isn't that impossible for an ADDICT like me?!
I dunno. Humans are silly.

They say it's connected thru a serial line,
(SLIP?) so there's another machine at the IP, acting as a gateway...
I don't know about TCP/IP in 512b, but I suppose
at least a limited stack could fit.
