We basically had assorted cold cuts and 5 different cheeses including one smelly variety ;-) mayo, mustard and greens. 3 different breads, a sparkling juice for the grandson and wife and a red wine for the rest. The bucket had soft drinks and some beer. And a happy time was had by all. Thanks to...

Posting from Vietnam Happy New Year. A bit late for here but surely quite early for most in the Continental Americas.

I am now in Siem Reap, Cambodia. It's part of my family's vacation. Yesterday we spent the whole day walking through several ancient Buddhist Temples in various states of restoration. There are a lot more temples clustered in this region of Cambodia. Many tourists take a 3-day pass to take in...

Yes and a time for remembering Tony, wherever he is and however he is using his time now. May he be healthy and strong.

It's 3 minutes before midnight here in Vietnam as I type this. Still time to wish you all Happy Holidays. May you enjoy the rest of 2010. And thanks for being part of my extended family. I cherish your onlne fellowship. Tomorrow I will be visiting Cambodia. I have a missionary friend and his...

The farthest I have been into Thailand has been the airport, which is beautiful. I was enroute to a meeting in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, which is not remarkable. But I am not a good person to ask because I just compare it to my place. I am now in Ho Chi Minh City - formerly known as Saigon. Now let...

Wow! Talking about "better late than never" ^_^

two (2) units for $40? I'm glad I'm not in the States, or else all I'd be doing is buying up all these bargains. Uh... what am I saying? Is this another symptom?

so what shall the tombstone say? R.I.P. born: xxxxx died: xxxxxx

I finally sourced a Seasonic Bronze80 S12II380W PSU for Pesos 2,300, that's about $52. I'm happy with it. Solid, quiet and cool working.

okay, sir, okay. :-)))

Uh, I googled for a sound card with this Envy chip. It came up with nothing in the $10 range.

yes, JTR, one more year. Happy Birthday. 48 is good.

no, it's just some kind of plastic goggle/s I'm looking out of both eyes. But my left eye is the one which gets the useable image, and my brain picks that out and deciphers it. I am thinking that as the right eye heals and stabilizes, I will be getting a useable image out of it, too. And soon...

Thank you, Chewy. Just to say your signature is the one I like best. Is it original? Or was it taken from some novel or movie?

Thank you for your well wishes. I've been reading up on post-surgery dos and don'ts. A clear plastic shield was given to me to wear almost all the time, especially during sleep. This was to keep one from scratching the eye when one was not conscious. I just realized, one doesn't have to be...

Just to say, i had surgery to replace the lens on my right eye due to some cataract build-up. due to my hypertension, i underwent General Anesthesia to lessen complications. normally it's an out-patient procedure. Uh, my high school friend/ophthalmologist gave me the lens for free and the...

I think there is no big difference between 4.8 and 5.0 It's just that when my 4.8 expired, I went to 5.0. Didn't notice change except what you mentioned - the interface. Oh, that and Avast is asking to download and install Chrome

Wow, so many specs for beds. I could sleep on a bench if needed. Or on the floor, if there was nothing else available. We have a 3" thick foam mattress which we lay on the living room floor at night and which we fold up in the morning.

That is par for the course. My Samsung 160Gb SATA went through a low level format. took 2 hours.

Yes, it would be good to hear from him, even once...... in two weeks. But he has been silent for months.

A trip in the old sailboat will heal you.

I hope you will find a way to recover the data

The calculator said, I needed a 290W PSU. I think it over calculated.

Whoa, SD! That is a surprisingly low power draw for 10 hard disk drives. I will check that Antec calculator.

Thanks, Coug. Will consider what you said. Actually, I am worried. Will try to be mentally active. This forum surely is part of the exercise. :-)

The shops here don't carry Seasonic for some reason. I googled the S12II 520 watts and found a Vietnamese shop among the entries. Since the eldest daughter now works in Vietnam (in the city formerly called Saigon) I asked her to price it out for me. Now I have an X2-450 on a Gigabyte board with...

hmmm. the conversation is timely. my eldest daughter is 36, my 2nd is 33, my son is 28, my grandson is 6. if i walk for a while, my body aches. if i sit for a while, my body aches when i try to stand up. the memory isn't too good, too. if somebody interrupts what i'm saying, i tend to forget...

My car doesn't wear out. Oh wait, I have a bicycle. :-)

I noticed this. Every now and then, my PC would say the virtual memory is low... blah, blah, blah. I have 2Gb of RAM on WinXP Pro. and the only thing I would have on is Firefox. Admittedly 25 or so tabs but it is very surprising. Just bought 2Gbs more memory and will try Windows7 shortly. Am a...

It all probably is a matter of culture and taste. I can eat mashed potatoes but like bread better and rice, of course. In the Central Philippines, the staple is corn.

I'd be afraid, very afraid. Kidding aside, my eldest daughter who now works in Vietnam raves over how she is treated in the Spas there. She says she feels like a queen. Of course, it costs a LOT of money. I don't dare to ask how much. I've a feeling it could be, like, half of what I earn here...

I am 56YO now... I probably will not make it that far. ^_^

Huh! Sorry have not been around for a while. Thanks, Coug for the concern. The typhoon passed about 200 miles north of where I live. So it didn't really affect the metropolis. But devastation to agriculture was great. The rice harvests were ready. Plenty of electric posts down and school...

Yes this would be good for the environment. But most manufacturers do not take environmental issues affect their bottom line

HAHAHAHA!

HDD packaging yes, looks very good.

Eh, Gilbo, your lenses are very good. I am also reading through the news. Though I have had a K20D since December, upgrading is not an option. Just glad to know the K5 is shaping up to be a good mid-range contender. see here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KxGKSRFlMbA&feature=player_embedded

I watched that one Saturday. Had the same reaction as mubs. Funny, though, I was expecting the whole thing to waver or sway. Seemed like the upper part was very flimsy.

Thanks, Pradeep. The last thing I overclocked was a socket 754 Sempron 2600. That was a very long time ago, I can't even remember the year. I've never Folded, though I once tried looking for Primes. But the cost of electricity was too significant to ignore.

built one last night bought a budget gigabyte mobo, an X2-245 and budget Geil DDR3 2gb stick typing this on that. running Prime 95 in the background to stress. no hiccups on WinXP pro

If it were up to me, I'd help. Of course, if it would take too much time...

nah, don't worry David. just kidding. i'm old but I don't think I'm a fart. hahaha

somebody called?

Now let me post one so I can see how few I've posted. BTW, let me just say, thanks to Merc, David, Coug, Tony, Santili, Handruin (I'm sorry if I have left out others) for keeping SF very interesting.

for my purposes, AMD suffices. I have 2 desktops. both with Sempron procesors. one is still SocketA the other, is of the next newer sockets. but it's also 3 years old, i think.

Merc, Times are hard. My sister has a small business she left to me, my other brother and my wife while she tries to find her fortune in Canada (many Filipinos' fate) and the business is floundering. My wife and I usually cover for salaries and supplies until clients pay up. But it looks bleak...

yes, congratulations, especially on the very cute baby girl!
