  Windows Media Video V7 under Windows 95?
 
I have a video in .ASF-format. The video uses the Windows Media Video V7 format. The needed codec is included in Mediaplayer 7.0. However, this program does not install on Windows 95. I have Mediaplayer 6.4 installed, but it does not have the needed (...) (24 years ago, 1-Jan-01, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Help Needed with Quick ebay Test-UPDATE
 
G'day folks, Thanx to everyone who helped me with the tests! :] I figure there no sense in doing any more at this point. I did a pile more experimenting and discovered that my favourite searches (the ones I was using steadily) are the ones that are (...) (24 years ago, 1-Jan-01, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Help Needed with Quick ebay Test
 
(...) Thanx for checking this for me John. I, too, noticed that the time at the bottom does not match my search time. There is also a time at the top called "current ebay time" or something which I think is supposed to match the search time. The (...) (24 years ago, 1-Jan-01, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Help Needed with Quick ebay Test
 
(...) IE 5.5 on Win98 - have run several searches I've never run before and, no, the Last Updated time does not change. But the Last Updated time was not the current time of my searches to begin with. It listed the exact same time some six hours ago (...) (24 years ago, 1-Jan-01, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

See also: (URL) has a reply by me extolling my 800 (...) I have an 800 and like it a lot. The only thing I miss from my older camera (now defunct) is the swivel feature. I believe the 950 has more additional features than just the swivel, though. I (...) (24 years ago, 31-Dec-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.off-topic.geek, lugnet.publish)
 
  Help Needed with Quick ebay Test
 
[FUT lugnet.off-topic.geek so I don't clutter .auction] G'day folks, As you've probably read I've been having problems with search result data on ebay. Well I've just now determined that the "problem" is being done deliberately by ebay. In their (...) (24 years ago, 31-Dec-00, to lugnet.market.auction, lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Digital Camera
 
(...) I'll speak up in favor of the 800 as well. I love it. I took it as my primary camera on my honeymoon (to London) and got some absolutely incredible shots. J (24 years ago, 31-Dec-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Digital Camera
 
(...) I couldn't disagree more. I *love* the swivel when composing shots from the LCD, which is what I do mostly. I wouldn't buy a digital camera without this feature. (And if you don't like the swivel, the Nikon 800 is still a nice camera -- most (...) (24 years ago, 31-Dec-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Digital Camera
 
As far as macro shots go (especially LEGO) I use the LCD for composing the shot, since that gives me an SLR effect and what I see is almost exactly what I will get in my shot. With any non-SLR camera, macro mode is near useless since parallax is (...) (24 years ago, 31-Dec-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Digital Camera
 
(...) Not if you have #7. I have a PCMCIA adapter for my desktop computer ($10 at the MIT flea; $50 online somewhere), and you can get $3 adapters for compact flash cards, and probably-slightly-mo...-expensive adapters for smartmedia. This is much (...) (24 years ago, 31-Dec-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Digital Camera
 
(...) I think someone mentioned this aspect of your search as being something that could mean you only need a puny camera. I personally think this is something that should make you look for the best quality, largest resolution, etc possible. Think (...) (24 years ago, 31-Dec-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Digital Camera
 
Digital camera parameters: 1) use it to take pictures of my Lego creations 2) the pictures will be no farther away than 5 feet 3) they will not be printed out in any type of quality 4) they may go on a website (when I get one) 5) the camera must be (...)

(...) Epson Photo PC 750z. Can be purchased for under $350, includes charger, batteries, 8mb card, and other useless stuff. For another $40, you can buy the card reader, all you have to do is plug in the card to download. I recently got my 750, and (...) (24 years ago, 30-Dec-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

Wow, Thank you all for your suggestions. I am *leaning* toward Geocities its small ad and a whopping 100 megs of space! That I *think* is what stood out from all the others. -- Kenneth A.

Wow such a firestorm of info and opinions this is going to be a hard decision! I'm making a list of what I want to do with the camera and I hope that narrows things down. I will post that list soon.

  Re: Digital Camera
 
(...) It's about comparative pricing: if any company included a 16mb card, their camera would be $25 less profitable than the other guy's. Plenty of reviews lament the 8mb card. Might as well sell the darn cards separately (but that risks alienating (...) (24 years ago, 30-Dec-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Free? Website?
 
I would suggest www.f2s.com . There are NO ads of any sort, and it supports advanced PHP, PERL, and MySQL. I've used them for awhile now, and the only problem I've encountered is that they are down sometimes. (...) (24 years ago, 29-Dec-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.off-topic.geek)
