Has anyone tried using FX-Manager with WINE? Does it work very well?

I was just reading about them so I would know what your abrev would mean in the future.  I knew the site was for coders but when I stumbled upon DJ's thread when surfing the web for the "future or personal computers" I thought I would join and offer him my subjective point of view about desktop computers.  I've connected to desktops over 2000 times since 2003 and about 1000 laptops since then. It's all on my web site.

OK. Like i said, we'll like you all the same. :)

Do these sites ships outside United States and do they charge a lot for it, though? I know that on Ebay, just by buying a tiny graphing calculator device, people from USA charges me $40 for shipping fees most of the time, and it takes 3-4 weeks for the item to arrive. Granted, the price would be much lower than in Canada, but if they charge incredibly high for shipping and I end up paying more in the end... D:

Wow. maybe you should have them send them to someone in the US, who could send it to you ;)

I love desktops. I have had 2 laptops with broken screens (stepping on it, lay a book on it, etc.) Desktops just seem better. And I love large screens.

I don't quite understand the significance of MPoupe's addin. I think this may have to do with the fact that I do not program in C.

DJ_O: I think usage is tricky, but easy for average user (programmer in Basic). We need to specify (and agree on) list of functions and interface (how to communicate), which the TSR will support. As a quick draft one can imagine:
variable A - code of routine to call
0 = nothing
1: get TSR version
...
127: load cas program from flash, name in Str1, filename in Str2
128: delete cas file, name in Str1
Then Basic user would do following:
1. set parameters:
"Game"->Str 1:"\\fls0\Game.g1r"->Str 2
2. specify function:
127->A
3. wait for execute (TSR will reset A to signal execution)
While A:WhileEnd
4. check result (?)
If B:Then "ERROR":Stop":IfEnd
5. use the program
Prog "Game"
6. delete it
"Game"->Str 1:128->A
7. wait for execute ...
While A:WhileEnd
8. check result (?)
If B:Then "ERROR":Stop":IfEnd

One can also imagine really asynchronous processing, we may have function, which will periodically check variables X and Y
and display user defined image (figure) here. You may create e.g. Arkanoid game with nice ball without drawing ball at all (OK you need to draw it once and store it to TSR by another command)


And whats this? Does this mean that we can use syscalls in BASIC now?

I'm kinda confused.... Could someone explain how this is significant?

Sorry if i'm not being clear, or am sounding rude, but I'm just trying to understand... :P

He won't go back to the 1800's now.
