that was the point of the script in the first place-to split a huge text file into 4k chunks. having to split it into 20k chunks before hand defeats the entire point of the script. anyway, it turns out that if you have the debug window up and have show event results checked it will break on...

can anyone test the ipod applescript that converts text on the clipboard from text to 4k notes files with a file over 20,000 characters? when i try it it returns error 20013 which the apple website says occurs when the result of an event exceeds 20,000 characters. since this is rather...

id just like to jump in and say that for learning to write gamesTNTbasic is awesome. once you have learnt some basic programing it lets you do quite complicated 2d sprite stuff very easy. whether it would be better to start with something smaller and then move on i dont know.... plus its...

on an imac 450mhz the most processor intensive games i can run comfortably are -quake 3 -starcraft -buldurs gate 2 -diablo 2 -ghost recon -warcraft 3 (a bit choppy on larger maps though)

crucial does has 512 from £63/40 euros to £86/60 euros apple (apple the company that is, im not sure about apple stores run by individuals) is expensive for ram but hats because they will fix a price and leave it at that, even if the market causes the price to fluctuate constantly. also, for...

sorry but the 5% stat just reminded me of the last day before we hadto hand in a technology and design project in june. using prodesktop-possibly the most unreliable cad program known to man, and a really bad printer, i would have would eaily have been double figure *per hour* and there were...

um, im running warcraft III on a g3 450 imac and aside from when you have a battle more than about 20 units it runs fine. everything is set to its lowest graphics settings though. (running 10.2 with 196mb ram)
