  1. Review - Nero

    5.0.0.9 (May 30, 2000)

    Superb program that works perfectly with my HP 8100. Tried it once, and now Ez-CD Creator isn't even on my system anymore. :)

    -Ex-

  2. Review - ICQ Pro

    2000a Alpha v4.25 Build #3120 (Mar 27, 2000)

    "This ICQ sucks"
    Gee what a well informed comment that is, why don't you try thinking logically about why it sucks - I think that'd be more use to people - personally I like it, memory usage has gone down on my Windows 2000 box as well.
    Who needs IP cracks and all that anyway? - most people who use the program for what it's "meant" to be used for don't give 2 monkeys about cracks...grow up.

  3. Comment - Counter-Strike BETA 6.5: Round Two

    You're better off waiting, yes it's been delayed yet *again* (my patience with Valve is wearing thing) - but a) the leaked 1.1.0.0 will be different to the actual patch (which I hear will actually be 1.1.1.0 now) - and the CS 6.5 leak is pretty pointless getting cos it ain't on 99% of the servers. It should be out tomorrow, barring yet another farcical delay.

  4. Comment - Nvidia and 3dfx Poo Flinging Contest Heats Up

    They are, aren't they :) - I remember downloading some Voodoo 3 drivers when I had it, and actually experienced a "major" slow-down with those - never gone back a driver revision before then, or since...the Nvidia ones have always worked perfectly, EXCEPT for having to mess about turning off texture compression, makes my Q3 games look ugly.

    Indeed. The main thing I disliked about Nvidia was their total lack of "official" driver support. The official drivers were months old, and the only alternatives were unsupported "leaked" drivers...But, as you say, the 3dfx comments accelerated their intention to release them as official. Bout time to..

    Interestingly enough, Nvidia only seemed to actually release "official" drivers when this argument from 3dfx came out - before they were only classed as beta, leaked, or whatever else you wished to call them except official.
