    Clumsy days

    I just posted about a few teenagers threatening me, and then going the other way, and destroying park property. I try and get along, more or less, with everybody, even at the ghetto school I was teaching at. Different groups have different means of survival, and, to tell the truth, at our...

    You got me thinking. With reading glasses, 1280 x 1024 is pretty cool. In quake 3, it's real clear, and fast enough to enjoy, though I'm at the end of the game, and the 3d guy keeps kicking my ass... s Plenty of real estate to work with, too.

    Dead Cheetah: She was almost 7;-(

    OK: Al Capone's servant will read more carefully. I'll give a try formatting it on it's own, terminated, in this case, LVD cable, and see what happens. Or, just terminate the drive, and see if it works on a GD UW cable. I've got a bunch of cables around, I'll hang one off the internal...

    NO. I tried formatting about 4 times, using different scsi id's,and the bios in the card wouldn't find the drive in one utility, and, gave warning signs. I still tried to reformat, as you indicated, but everytime I had an error, can't complete sort of message. With the indicator light, that...

    We've saved a goose or two, along with my mama mallard. What happens is guys go fishing, either with snags, for the large fish in the pond, or for catching geese. The hooks get caught on em, and tie up their wings. We've grabbed a couple, and took the lines off, one person holding the...

    No, it doesn't respond to formatting, and, it doesn't show up as a disk in 2000, unlike the 3 other cheetahs, and a Barracuda. gs

    Picture A has White Goose with hurt wing, and two canadian geese. They are very nice, and, as a general rule, are always very round and large. Picture B features MotherGoose, in grey, and one of the 3 white geese. MotherGoose is very nice, and usually has her tummy just about dragging on the...

    What to do with a G3 Mac, and old computers, like P3, 450mhz

    Someone once told me that you really should pick one or the other. I'm sort of stuck in between. I like the mac g3, and, I really like the Lombard. It's by far the better laptop. The other is a Panasonic running 98 the best, and 2000 if you want to be frustrated(driver for touch pad is...

    Thanks 500 bucks is to much for me right now, at least for this project. Maybe a better switching box is the answer. Noticeable difference after taking the box out, and going direct to the monitor. I so hate having good quality 2d cards, and having the box muck up the video quality. gs

    You can teach monkeys to program in C++ better than that!

    Yes, then move production offshore. I like the new attempt at legislation to require US workers, and US, or state factories. Massachusetts, or something like that, is trying to pass a law like that. gs

    Decided to use the 450 P3 as a server, and experiment box...

    All I have to do is hook into my 8 port hub, and I'm good to go. One ethernet cable, and I'll load it up with drives, to act as a NETWORK server,(my bad), for documents and backups. Only problem is I just hooked up my external raid box, using the 2940 I was going to use in the other box... Oh...

    In retrospect, taking a working, favorite PC, and trying new stuff with it is not the brightest thing I've done this week. Think the Doctor should have operated on another animal, rather then Frankenstein first. Plus, it really helps having another box around when you screw up the one your...

    GRRR: Trying to install both Adaptec UW card, and ATTO LVD..

    Well, I copied all my stuff to disk for backup, then started the machine again, moving the scsi id for that disk to 6, and the card is currently working fine at 15. That's the adaptec card. I'm using the adaptec formatting tool to format, but, according to my disk i/o lights, nothings...

    Voodoo 5500: worth replacing?

    You guys almost had me swapping the P3 450 from the backup to the Dell XPS R400, with the P2, 400 mhz. I thought better of it. This thing isn't bad, all things considered. It works, and meanwhile I'm screwing around with my PC, adding an adaptec card, and raid box for storage. gs

    GRRR: Trying to install both Adaptec UW card, and ATTO LVD..

    Figured it out. I had to disable the host adaptor bios on the adaptec card, so the computer goes to the next bootable scsi card, the atto. The other alternative is to play musical cards, in the different pci slots. s

    Having fits. I've got an UW adaptec 2940 card, and I'm trying to connect my external raid box to my pc. It was a mac box. When I boot, it says it's booting off the ATTO card, but, it's changing my hard drive ID from C to D. Can't figure out why. I've moved the scsi ID for the 2940 to 15...

    What to do with a G3 Mac, and old computers, like P3, 450mhz

    I've thought about that. First off, it has only 3 pci slots. USB takes one, Scsi UW the other, and Voodoo 5500 for the last one. The voodoo has no drivers under OS X, and, from what I can gather, niether does any old scsi card avaliable. So, if I upgrade to OS X, I have to pull the Scsi...

    WHY, if you have a MSFT defrager in 2000, would you ever put anything from symantec on your computer? They pull the same crap with macs. Give them no credit, they learned it from MSFT, who makes MSFT Office incompatible with core extensions, like OTransport, in the mac os... s If you steal...

    What to do with a G3 Mac, and old computers, like P3, 450mhz

    I've been thinking about this over night. The new macs may devalue my mac even more, or, they might come out with another upgrade, faster then the current 1 ghz for 300 dollars upgrade. Problem with macs is everytime you look at something like that, and the amount of speed it really increases...

    Voodoo 5500: worth replacing?

    Thanks, all. I always wonder with these great advancements, if I'm even going to notice. I noticed the 1.4 athlon, from the PII 400 mhz. Likewise the 4 X X 15's make a huge difference, as does 512 mb of ram. On the PII 400 mhz I bought a Kyro II 64 mb card to replace the 16 mb TNT, and that...

    Getting a Windows Refund in California Small Claims Court

    HP might have a really good position on this one.
