  1. can someone explain to me in layman's terms how fast this thing works....in respect to my 900Mhz sony with 128 ram? http://www.physorg.com/news70294725.html heh heh heh...forgot to put the link.....
  2. though it may not seem complicated for some people, I for one congratulate you on your accomplishment and your endeavor to venture into the realm of the unknown. keep on truckin'
  3. interesting reading http://www.darkreading.com/document.asp?doc_id=97378
  4. I have, in the past, bought machines from the chaplain at our hospital. good little internet machines. $35 each with a monitor and a keyboard. I have had only one hard drive die on me.
  5. question: what will screw up a computer faster than anything? scroll down for the answer. answer: two people having access to the same computer
  6. I agree with TT. run the programs manually. melodi, it's not like you're gonna lose out on life by doing the maintenance.
  7. well you know that depends on the material the carpet is made of and the humidity but I wouldn't worry too much about it. just don't go handling any of the patrs inside. don't be stupid like me. I changed out a drive the other day ignoring that the computer was still on. no harm done.
  8. how about Bear-Bytes? nah, forget it. don't mind me....I haven't had my coffee yet.

    well I did it. I switched over to dsl today. $20 cheaper than satellite. I'm getting 384 wacha ma calllet download. satellite was supposed to be faster but my pages are loading just as fast as with satellite. I wish they had done this 2 years ago. big problems in small towns.
  10. I don't know about tennessee but the cottonmouths here don't run from you. they are quite aggressive and will actually move toward you.
  11. suggestions? yes..let me put my armor on. " oof...ugh...ugh..grunt". ok, got my armor on. suggestion: wipe that sucker clean and put a copy of winme on that thing.
  12. keith, sometimes I wonder about your mental wellness...but that is a good site.
  13. thanks handplane, my memory takes me back.....aaaaaaahhhhhhh, how I yearn for the good old days.
  14. well thank you terrorist. dang if technology isn't moving too fast for me. sometimes I just feel like going back to dos if it wasn't for all these pretty pictures. have a good day.
  15. executive software's disk keeper was implanted into winnt 4.0 by mr. bill way back when. I'm runnning wnnt 4.0 and I can't find the defrag thingy. I don't want to download a defrag thingy if I already have one. does anyone know how to access the defrag thingy? do I really need a defrag thingy? I've tried running it from the command line but it keeps telling me it's not there. I'm running winnt and winme on the same box but I like winnt 4.0 because of it's more secure invironment.
  16. dam I need a drink..this has been one hell of a night.
  17. looks good but in order to use it I would have to upgrade to win2000.
  18. well let's see.......it took me 2 minutes to download 10 MB so to download the whole thing will take me almost 3 hours. I'm going to bed.
  19. maybe that's because wives such as mine insist on using IE. the only problem I have with firefox is getting the cnn media player to work. had the same problem with opera.
  20. http://www.pcworld.com/news/article/0,aid,125772,00.asp# I agree with most of them but I can't understand winme. am I the only one that didn't have problems with winme? I've been running this thing for almost 6 years and rarely have problems.
  21. as much as I hate to say it...am I the only one that can see why all our compaines are moving overseas? why is detroit failing? it's hard to say that unions are killing their selves. $30 an hours to put 2 hubcaps on a car? for years I have worked my butt off building houses for $7 an hour. the last time I checked the nissan plant in tennessee was still non union.
  22. you have to understand that REAL american companies probably won't make this item as union labor would put the price around $3.
  23. my god...you killed it? that was the pet from the basement that macmarauder was looking for. better have jeff delete this post before mac sees it. on second thought that may have been mr. spock's little pet gherzt. actually what you are describing makes me think of a baby armadillo...
