OK...
[font color=yellow]1. Thanks for the tip. [/font] = "Thank you for the information and link about this new version of Chronotron."
[font color=yellow]2. Hmmm... tempting. Something to work with WMP.[/font] = "That it (ChrII) works with WMP is an attractive feature... The earlier version only works with Winamp."
[font color=yellow]3. I'll try it..., [/font] = "I'll try it..."
[font color=yellow]4. BUT it's for wmp9, which only works properly with WinSP*.
[/font] = "Chr.II is designed to work with WMP9. WMP9 is designed to work in WinXP." (*Typo for WinXP.)”
[font color=yellow]5. The player for win9x is wmp7.[/font] = "The player for win9x is wmp7."
Lines 4. and 5., effectively state that
a.)Chronotron II is developed to work with WMP9;
b.) WMP9 is designed to work in WinXP.
Lines 4. and 5. also intend to suggest that
a.) should one have Win9x, then one (ostensibly) cannot use WMP9, but is stuck with WMP7;
b.) should one have Win9x, and thus WMP7, one cannot use Chronotron II.
(What, perhaps, is missing here, is the clear statement that I am running Win98.)
[font color=yellow]6. Will report on the bastardisation...[/font] = “I will report on tests and experiments to match WMP9 to Win9x. (With unstated reference to line 3.: “I’ll try it.”)”
(What, perhaps, is missing here, is a clear indication other than context, content, and the ‘edit’ note, that some minutes have passed between lines 6. and 7., during which time I attempted to install Chronotron II with WMP7, in Win98.)
[font color=yellow]7. Nope - been there, done that.[/font] = “I attempted to install Chronotron II with WMP7, in Win98.”
[font color=yellow]8. Can't get it to work with wmp7, and last time I tried to install wmp9, it didn't hackle. [/font] = “I am unable to make Chronotron II work with WMP7, and the last time I tried to install WMP9, I was unsuccessful (it being for WinXP... etc.)”
[font color=yellow]9. I'll try again, but it's late just now...[/font] = “At some time, I shall have another go at installing WMP9 and/or Chronotron II, but its late into the night and I am tired...”
Does that help?
