2008.8 Goes to sleep too fast!

2008-08-10 Thread Anton Persson

Hi Guys and Gals! I've uploaded a first alpha version of a program called Signal Applications To Any (Audio) Network, or, ehm, SATAN for short... It can be used to create simple music, or just jam on the train, bus or café. For instructions see this short file:

If you make a borderless case the risk is bigger for scratches and other damaging things to happen to the display... In that case a hard surface would be preferable. Best regards, Anton On Fri, Nov 21, 2008 at 2:58 PM, Lech Karol Pawłaszek [EMAIL PROTECTED]wrote: Michele Renda
