What good is that going do them? Are they going to take my personal info. if I were to buy a disc, so that they could track me down if I made a copy?

When you are on your deathbed, you will wonder, "Did I waste my life? Was it worth spending all that time on that?" Do not despair, no one has wasted their life. After all, you can only waste something if you throw it away. And you can't throw life away.

Comment by: alxdotnet (Nov 07, 2003 12:31) Perhaps Sony is envisioning us using the PSP instead of a DVD player...lol... It would have to have over 8mb of RAM! Comp 1: Dell Inspiron P4 2.4Ghz / 512 MB RAM with 24x CD-RW and Firewire In, SVideo Out running XP Pro
Comp 2: Dell Dimension P3 550Mhz / 384MB RAM with old 2x CD-RW running XP Home. |

Comment by: alxdotnet (Nov 07, 2003 22:08) 8mb of ram would produce horrible graphics...current video cards have much more than that I thought... Is there something that I don't understand? Is it using the internal hard drive for graphics rendering? Comp 1: Dell Inspiron P4 2.4Ghz / 512 MB RAM with 24x CD-RW and Firewire In, SVideo Out running XP Pro
Comp 2: Dell Dimension P3 550Mhz / 384MB RAM with old 2x CD-RW running XP Home. |

Comment by: draconate (Jun 01, 2004 14:19) yeah, yer right, MafiaMan. The gfx cards are much different. Regular pc's run usually 512 mb of ram. 8mb of ram for this format is much more than enough. |
