  Re: Bitmap to Gif/Jpeg
 
(...) Of course, if you're using Win98, the Paint program will do that (not exactly so in Win95). But, you're probably not using Win98, that's why you asked... BTW, I looked at that IrfanView site; looks like a great program! --Electro-- (24 years ago, 12-Feb-01, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

  Re: Bitmap to Gif/Jpeg
 
(...) IrfanView, put out by a fellow in Germany, is what I've taken to using. I know that others here use it, as they're the ones who clued me in to it. As a general image editor and file converter it's mighty nice: (URL) And the price for (...) (24 years ago, 11-Feb-01, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

  Re: What if Steve Jobs ran The LEGO Company?
 
(...) Whoops. My dealer (DataVision) called. Scott only needed 3 words: "I want it!" While I was picking it up, I got the sense that if I'd been a few minutes tardy it would have gone to someone else. Installing software......... (24 years ago, 9-Feb-01, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: From the first LEGO(r) Train Summit: LEGO(r) Trains are alive and well
 
(...) Steve's rise to prominence was due to the Mac, which was a computer that he did not design. He packaged it, sold it, and there were boom times at Apple. Then Apple began to falter, Steve didn't come up with any new stuff, and he was asked to (...) (24 years ago, 8-Feb-01, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: What if Steve Jobs ran The LEGO Company?
 
(...) Urggghhhh......... My PowerBook dealer, Scott, told me I maybe can have a 500 mhz Powerbook G4 tomorrow if I want it! (assuming they materialize in the morning as expected.) I'm going to hold off until a 400 mhz model comes in. Ooh... (24 years ago, 8-Feb-01, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) I'm under NDA... But look at what I've said in the past here on LUGNet(tm) about whether I wanted windows or not, and predict the likelihood that I never said anything about windows. :-) Or that anyone else there never did either.

  Re: What if Steve Jobs ran The LEGO Company?
 
(...) It's interesting how we have made action figures out of industrial legends. We imagine new adventures for them, going on to command such-and-such a ship, turning the world inside out, or just repeating the favorite hero moves to comic effect. (...)

  Re: What if Steve Jobs ran The LEGO Company?

  Re: What if Steve Jobs ran The LEGO Company?
 
(...) You're right. Hrmmm - maybe I saw a price list at the computer store on campus with a misprint or something, or maybe I'm thinking of the low-end iBook.
