Hello Maurice.

01 Feb 06 19:31, you wrote to me:

Well, if you have enough RAM to run your application, + a GUI, then it matters 
not that much, as the GUI, does not generally use up a lot of CPU cycles ... , 
unless you keep moving it around ...

That should be capable of producing very good results ....

Yeah, well, I still want to figure out how DVD's are put to-gether, but for 
archiving or streaming, other formats are definitely preffered ...

 MK> I call bullshit.  Only when conforming to sheepleware is that true.

Oooo .... yeah, it only took how long to process that DVD on your system, if 
you had more processing power, it'd have taken correspondingly less time to 
complete ... <VBEG>

As you describe it, I tend to agree ...

I cannot remeber at present ... <GRIN>
