New Program

18 years ago

Who wants to be the guinea pig?

This is supposed to be a unique program for the "brainy"? (I don't know).

Looks like a fun program if one can figure it out?

I gather it's an animation program for you to do creations?

Soooooo much to read, oooof.

I can't remember where I was to descibe it's functions so you will have to hunt.

I just grabbed this page to give you a place to start at.

Who is bored and would like the challenge?

Maybe we could have fun with it?

I just glanced at it and it looks interesting enough to download?

BLENDER

Ooooooops.
I just read where you have to have an OpenGL compatible graphics card, whatever that is?
And how do we know if we have?

A discription of what I received to give you an idea or scare you away------

Blender is an animation program that is out of this world. It really is full functioning professional CGI program. As far as digital animation and 3D rendering goes, you're coveredÂwith this program you are only restricted by your imagination.

There are numerous examples on Blender's site of still images, 3D models, and fully animated movies that really showcase some of what Blender can do. If you were to go and buy a comparable program be prepared to dish out the cabbage.

If you're interested in CGI, I couldn't think of any better way to get started. The program is complicated, but that's the nature of 3D animation, and since it's from the Open Source Community you know that you'll find tons of help out there. As a matter of fact you will find instructional overload at Blender.org. If you have a question you can easily tap into a plethora of resources whether it be the a link to one of the almost countless number of community forums, online manuals, tutorials, examples, whatever you need it's there.

New program--what will it do?

Out of curiosity, I downloaded the installer. Opened it with my archive extractor to find, upon other things, just "one" audio file. That lone audio file proclaims that it has finished your scan and has found problems that require your attention. What I find interesting is the absence of a corresponding audio file proclaiming that it has finished scanning and... congratulations, it has found NO problems. But I reckon that's not really surprising. I mean, how could they scam a person out of their money if they told them their system was already clean and they didn't need to buy their product? :)

I have enjoyed the disucssions here. I am on the quest to find what I will be able to do in my new RV. The main issue will of course be first getting a wifi signal from something. I do have an ATT air card which has a 5GB cap, I have my cell phone but have the minimum data plan on it currently and they do not offer an unlimited. I have a zyxel portable router that can make a hotspot from a wifi signal. 11n-compatible Wi-Fi router supports DSL/Cable and 3G connectivity, and a unique failover capability; should your wired connection be interrupted for any reason, the MWR222 will automatically switch to a 3G/4G wireless signal via the users Mobile Broadband Adapter modem. So now I have the ability to have enough wifi in the RV to use any of the devices I want to use. but I need to search out other cheap(ha!) sources to obtain an internet signal on the road. I know some places we will stay do provide free wifi and using my own portable router will make that wifi secure, but for those places out in the boondocks that don't provide wifi, I will need some kind of access. My ATT air card at 5GB cap sure won't allow much streaming of anything. Any thoughts? I have been looking at Roku and other boxes and with the usb port I definitely could download plenty of my own content to have available to view for the times I am not able to gain decent access to anything. The RV does have a roof top antenna and it is wired for cable for when we are at a site with cable. I do have direct tv at home and I know they do offer an on the road version to be able to use you current direct tv account with RV direct tv equipment, no idea of additional costs. the zyxel I have MWR222

New Protection Program

That is a product that was called Cyberhawk which PC Tools bought, changed up and renamed to Threatfire (Novatix Cyberhawk (www.novatix.com)). I have looked it over and read a lot of reviews on the forums by users and testers. I chose not to include it in my layered protection plan because many of the reviews stated it is resource hungry, it uses up a lot of the cpu, and also it often causes conflicts if you have other similar programs running because they are all trying to do the same thing and some use the same registry items. It works similar to a hips, it watches behavior hence the cpu usage. Many said it caused their machine to slow to a crawl. Also unfortunately PC Tools has had a bit of a bad history with some of their other products, Spyware Doctor for example caused many some serious problems with having to wipe clean and reformat and re-install windows. Now of course things run different on different computers and different programs so feel free to give it a try and see how it goes. One thing I like to do besides reading up on the various forums about a product I am considering is to go to the actual support forum for the product itself to see how many problems/ issues are mentioned in the forum, here is the one for threatfire. http://www.pctools.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=59 I had also heard that PC Tools was going to end threatfire as a stand alone and incorporate it into one of it's security suites and I see that question was asked on the forum and not answered by the admin, so it could be that it will not be available for too much longer. Anyway long answer to your short question LOL Each person has to decide on their own, personally I choose not to include it but I do have a good layered protection already.

New mail program

It's got a whole lot of other programs with what you're looking at for photo/blog writer/and I forget what else. I installed it at one time 'beta, then did away with it, just too much stuff to comprehend quickly & I was in process of skinny'ing down the hard drive. I'm sure it has changed and been made better and more easily intuitive. No it didn't foul up OE or Hotmail for me. They still exist separately for OE and hotmail was painlessly easy to convert back to. I might try it now that its out of beta. Realizing that it will take probably require some time than I care not to spend, to get rid of the extra bytes its loads, if I dont like it. If you're into photo sharing and blogging its probably the bee's knees.

Judy,
My problem is: I speak before I think? "lol"

Anyhow, that is one way to get replies to myself?

Here is what I found on OpenGL:

OpenGL is the premier environment for developing portable, interactive 2D and 3D graphics applications. Since its introduction in 1992, OpenGL has become the industry's most widely used and supported 2D and 3D graphics application programming interface (API), bringing thousands of applications to a wide variety of computer platforms. OpenGL fosters innovation and speeds application development by incorporating a broad set of rendering, texture mapping, special effects, and other powerful visualization functions. Developers can leverage the power of OpenGL across all popular desktop and workstation platforms, ensuring wide application deployment.

My card will support the software. It is an ATI 9000 Radeon Catalyst. I believe I upgraded my graphics card last year. I'll have to download it and see what it is all about!

Thanks Rebecca,
My card is: ATI Radeon X6000XT Pro and assume it will support it too?
I will have to check THIS out that I just now found to see.

I came upon a page before, where it showed a sample of the walking man etc. and can't find it now? "lol"
