know what we mean, right?). The reason why they thin that is because
here in
good all Europe users are really behind, lets face it the Gringos are
much
better in this and many other fields, mind you not in every field, lets
not get
too confident here O.K>? In any case, there are a lot of problems,
technical
problems in these parts of the world, so the Dutchies really hope that
their
Gringo counterparts can help to solve some of those problems. On the
other
hand, the Dutchies (and some of the Colombians that have infiltrated the
Dutch
scene) have come some times with very practical (improvised) solutions
to
technical problems that are often described as "guerrilla attacks." This is
one
of the examples that has created riots in the digital community in
Amsterdam,
Enschede and other major Dutch and European metropolis.
A while ago one of them (me as a matter of fact) came with an idea, a very
unorthodox idea (that at first was very criticised) to solve the problem.
In order to transfer graphics and animations from Amiga to Apple one
simply had to go from the video out in the Amiga (the Gen Lock) into the
video in of the Apple (the Video Card?). It worked out believe it or
not!!!. Old fashioned, prehistoric, called the way you want, but it
worked!. That's the sort of thing that makes this country and this
continent
great and happy! Little joke ha! ha!). At first the computer wizards
from
"the Pepsi generation" that were present during the experiment laughed
at us. But this proves that they have a lot to learn, let us remind them
that while they are "Pepsis", we (above 40) are the real thing. People
can
still say that this solution to the Amiga problem is kids stuff, that
this is a Mickey Mouse solution, so what? it works!!!One more thing, a kind, loving message to the American, the USAers to be precise, lets not forget that America is not Gringolandia only you have some other little countries in the neighbourhood, countries like Canada, Mexico and Brazil, but that's another story that we will be dealing with at a latter date (if ever). In any case, please don't feel offended because you are referred to as Gringos in De Hoeksteen Internet, it is meant wit all the love and tenderness in the world. It is one of the many codes used by the gang here in De Hoeksteen. For more information on the subject please refer to De Hoeksteen Lexicon, one more of the services of De Hoeksteen Internet to bring you into the exiting world of Peter Stuyvensen (do you know that cigarette brand a little wimpish for our taste but who we are to judge and remember smoking is not that bad there is a new Russian report that argues that in fact smoking is extremely good for your health but who can trust the Russians any way. Once a Commie always a Commie and the only good Commie is a dead Commie that's what decent folk used to say). We leave you with all of these thoughts to reflect and now a word from our sponsor: Help us with our problems and we will help you with yours. Adios!, Calimero (?), chao pescao.
(personal computers that is) and they were not available then. We were
getting
ready to order expensive custom-made video switches when I came across
some
old Sony video selectors. They looked like "Russian Tanks" (if you want
to find
out what "Russian Tanks" are you must refer to De Hoeksteen Lexicon
somewhere
in this site) and nobody used them. This selectors had 5 inputs and one
output.
I suggested to use the input as outputs and vice versa. All the techs
working in
the project looked at me like if I was crazy (they all knew that I was a
total
ignorant in the field of video) We tried and Bingo!!! it worked. After
that
some people think that I can perform miracles.
I also found out that earphones and headphones can be used as microphones.
