RE: Psion Wavefinder



Windows XP is the worst operating system I’ve seen…

 

It runs more efficiently on a dual cpu system (PII-300 x2) than it does on a single cpu PIII-750…

 

It uses far too much hard disk space

 

It requires 128mb of ram to contemplate running anything like ok

 

When you logon, it resembles a well-known kids tv show..

 

I hate XP!!!!

 

Now – linux – runs like a dream.. never crashes… but wont run a wave-finder (I have looked!!)..

I have good results with both Wavefinders that I have - one on W2K and one W98 - I do not experience any stuttering or software instability - the original W98 install worked fine although I now use DAbbar on both machines as I am playing with the traffic news data stream (TPEG). I am in an excellent signal coverage area though. Line of site to Emley Moor.

I got slightly better results with Dabbar, - went >from face="Courier New">
3-second audio segment over and over and over again, to stuttering about
once every minute or two... much better, but still unable to get through a
whole song without stuttering at least once...

I'd hardly call this a new era of audio entertainment!
