I don't understand why you'd want a machine that screams. Wouldn't all that caterwauling get annoying after a while? I prefer my PC to be nice and quiet. Unless it's playing music or something. Hm.

My laptop runs on Linux. So far so good. It has Open Office which seems to be very nicely compatible with MS Office for file sharing purposes. It's a lot more secure against viruses and other nasties.

Anyway...I just installed that 1GB memory card UT encouraged me to order. Yippee! No more "Memory is low" messages.

Yes, TW, it works just fine alongside my 512MB card. :p

Or BSD. BSD has better documentation than most Linuces (faux plural for Linux).

Love it.

Oh-Boy!! What I learned reading this thread. :bolt:

I never thought of you as that selfish Pie. :rolleyes:

Really, I'm more of a shellfish Pie.

Its a virtual scream. Does not wake up the neighbors or bring the police.

My pc screamed until we took a can of air to its innards.

One can is never enough. I use 4.

UT is a severe disciplinarian. Gives a whole new meaning to canning a computer.

That's just because he turns the first three upside down and huffs them.

They freeze up fast. Man you should have seen the dust cloud generated by the machines in the supermarkets. Supermarkets are a dust factory. We would take the systems out to the dock and make sure we had good wind conditions before blowing them out.

Computers in hospitals, where the linen is always being changed, become full of incredible dust bunnies.
You can't just blow the stuff out, it would be re-absorbed by other equipment! You use a little vacuum.

Vacuums are great Van de Graaff generators...
:shocking:
