apple and aol have something in common

You are right, I can't find Lucas involved with Dreamworks SKG, except for projected movie projects, usually rumours of 'indy' films made with Spielberg (they are best buddies I think). Don't know why I thought that, still it's nice to have my facts straight. My mistake...well sometimes I'm a stupid shit.

Video on PCs does suck, the compression is bad. You lose frames, and 30 mins is still 3 GB    :eek:  

Not only are these people dumb, they look like they are on drugs...all of them. Especially that Eilein feiss thing.

In thw world of Windows it is but not with Linux and Xine, i have 1.5 hour movies taking up meerly 600mb.

Ya AOL was origional an Apple project called eWorld, or iVillage or something like that. It was a big deal for a while, I still have MacWorlds that talk about it.

Anyway, for some reason or other the project fell appart and Aol took their share and made.... well, AOL out of it    

Hmmm... Ill look up a link with a more accurate version of the story.

The first AOL was for DOS, have a look at toastytech.com's gui gallery. It has screenshots of some GeoWorks or somthing, which has A0L

AOL started as Quantum Computer Services. I believe they hosted eWorld. eWorld's UI and backend evolved into AOL... or something like that. All I'm really sure of is that Quantum Comp. Serv. was the original name of the company.

pkd... don't worry. it happens to us all   :cool:
