    Ignore that book.. it's just 1001 st basic listings. ST BASIC is a bad implementation of BASIC. Any generic book with BASIC applications will do. The listings there use none of the st features and the same book has been written for multiple other systems with just the necessary corrections for differences in dialects and computer names.

     

    I think it's far more interesting to try and find things you like doing, or things you do daily and see how and if they can be done on an ST.

    Yes, you are kind of misunderstanding something. Though the term was not originally used for what I mean, it has now become a synonym of laissez - faire capitalism and the elimination of the state's role in the economy. Basically the ideas of Hayek and Friedman, though Hayek wouldn't actually go that far.

    Let me explain it to you in the proper neo-liberal economic terms you should be able to comprehend, judging by your comment on healthcare. When you commited to buying Another World you knew that it was an unfinished product. Therefore what you did, was not a purchase but an investment in the manufacturing of said product. With that you assume the financial risk that's inherent in that investment. Now since you are so much inlove with private insurance, as a good investor what you should have done was to insure your investment against any problems that might arise. The fact that you failed to do that means that you assumed all the investment risk yourself. You have noone else to blame but yourself.

    Many sites have mobile versions that are usable with CAB, try m.google.com. Maybe CAB can be faked to send a different user agent and mask as a smartphone to automatically use mobile site versions?

     

    That might be helpful for sites that have a special mobile version, assuming that that version is not more modern than the classic one, but for sites made with responsive design it will be painful.

    I don't think MP2 is possible on the Jaguar DSP, but I may be wrong.

     

    MP3 is right out, since even the Falcon's DSP is not powerful enough to decode in real time (and as GT Turbo's said, it is more powerful than the Jaguar's DSP) ; MP3 players on the Falcon use both the DSP and the 68030.

     

     

     

    MP2 is about twice the size of an MP3. The track in the falcon demo Beams is an MP2 @ 32KHz and it sounds OK. The falcon can play a 64KBps MP3 with about 5% cpu usage but I guess that's because of resampling. It should be OK if you have a 44.1KHz clock on the DSP.
