OK, I guess I have to be the desenting voice here. While I admit that the graphics in FF were some of the finest eye candy I've seen on the big screen, the plot was the most worn out, simplistic scenario I can imagine. I've seen Saturday morning cartoons with more imagination. I won't throw any spoilers out for those of you who haven't seen it yet, but I challenge you to grab the video (after it comes out), watch the thing with the sound muted and tell me that the dialog and plot added even

Reply to O/T - are there any amiga 500 users here? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

David, This will be a quick one since I have to head for work. Amiga disks are formatted to 880kb instead of PC's 720kb.

I'll root around in my archive and see if I can find a solution in the mean time, and I'll get back with you if no one else can come up with a solution...

At some point your mother said, "Well, I gotta let that child mess up on their own sometime, or they'll never learn". Do the same for her. And if she messes things up - fix it for her. Remember: She's been doing the same thing for YOU for a lot longer than you can remember...

Such a shame that it had to go the way it did - it reminded me so much of losing a family member to a slow and painful disease. May it Rest in Peace. Skinz.org set a standard that we may never see again...
