16:10/16:9 or 4:3?

Eller

16:10 for me... well not really 16:10, but my main LCD is.

I am running 3968x1200. How can I do that? :D

One 1920x1200, And two 1280x1024's running in portrait mode? :confused:

Nope :p:

.avi for me, that always works. The next person can have another guess. If that isn't correct, I'll let you know. Oh, the resolution increased to 4992x1200 today, that might make it easier ;)

avi - mkv isn't as widely supported and I've never notice much of a difference although mkvs are supposed to be smaller.

no idea on the resolution thing - sounds a little like 4x HD but pretty sure that's not available yet.

True 120 or Xigmatek S1283 - overall - I know that a lapped true a few degrees better.

nice set of axes in the second pic. What's in the middle - too short for a soprano sax or a standard clarinet. Looks like it has to be double reed - oboe? Kinda short.

I've never seen a black piccolo. I still can't see the side hole in the picture and I figured that the blunt end would have to be for a double reed. I used to play alto and baritone (since they're both E-flat - IIRC). I always wanted to get a soprano or sopranino, but I suck so bad there wouldn't be any point. I still can't play anything with more than 3 sharps or flats without getting a headache.

Yeah, this is a 'proper' piccolo... They're wooden and cost ~1400 euros. I still haven't found out where the money went into. As for the saxophone, I started only like a month ago with that. It's awefully difficult getting used to a reed when you've played nothing but flute/piccolo. Thank goodness for common fingerings, that makes it a lot easier :cool:

Back OT now :D

The money went into controlled harvest hardwoods, expensive boring, skin pads and solid silver keywork.

Does everyone cross their fingers with me that I can bring my board back to life tomorrow?

I don't drink.

Anyone wanna lament that I split my NF200 with me?
10-30-2008, 11:24 AM

Lament for the board, the NF200 itself is not exactly a piece of stellar engineereing...

Blues or jazz?

What's your favorite imaginary musical group?

3 Strikers and a 1950pro which I had vmodded (in fact I did get it through RMA lol). Don't get me started on the hundreds of P2/P3 based systems I kill just for the fun of it :D
