Have I ever had an SL-75DRV2 fail? Nope. Must have sold a few now too. Fifty-odd, I guess. All working just fine. The Epox equivalent - I can never remember the model number - has been equally good.

Oh no, Sol had it right the first time. Ain't you never heard of Wayne Carey?

Actually, it's a cross between Gailic Football and Aussie Rules, Sol. But that's a really good point you raise. Why on earth isn't the World Cup played using the proper International Rules? I figure the Australian side would do pretty well. :)

Great idea, Flagreen. But don't think so small: why not translate the forums as well? Coug should be able to translate all our posts easily enough. Hell, I don't believe in making people work too hard, we will give him the whole weekend to get the Computers page done. Then he can start on the Pub.

Yup. Win 2000 should be no problem. I've certainly run NT 4.0 on a number of FIC VA-503+ boards (same chipset as your Epox, Clocker) without the slightest problem. My burner box at the office is a K6-III/450+ on a 503. 503s can be difficult with Win ME though. On the other hand, not working...

Hoolie Doolie!

It all depends on the board, Greg. The CPUs themselves are just about bulletproof. If the board is VIA-based, you should be pretty right. The only real worry with the VIA chipset Super 7 boards is power to the video card. A TNT should be fine. A Gforce 1 or a pre Ti Gforce II can be problematic...

Huh? Football? Everyone knows the World Cup is the cricket championship.

Hoolie Doolie! 754 pins! That's only a Slot 1 shy of 1000 pins! I guess that meand the days of straightening someone's bent pins with a strong light and a pocket knife are numbered then.

Only if they are green. Or possibly blue.

Funny you should say that at this particular moment, Syrob. :) For some reason I've always been a bit leery of Fujitsu drives, expect them to under-perform in real life use. I guess it's because of all those ultra-quiet but sluggish IDE things they made in 2GB to 10GB days. (Actually, I...

Don't be nasty, Tannin!

Win 2000. If it ran under OS/2 I'd have six machines on the go, instead of a lousy one - and that one I have to share with Tannin. :(

No results up yet though, because not long after I installed it my system went stupid and I couldn't even close anything using the task manager. Had to hit the reset switch. Tried again, same result. Normal operation for a while, then screen refuses to update. Only two things different: (a)...

NRG, I just uploaded Toggle Minimize for you: http://www.redhill.net.au/zip/tminim.zip It's described in the downloads section on the front page - or it will be as soon as Coug gets off his arse and OKs my upload, but the direct link is above. It will minimise anything to the system tray, an...

Ye Gods, Tannin! They are all on Valium or something. That's a nice, old-fashioned bit of traditional Tannin plain speaking up there a post or two above - I have to admit, brother, that you were always good at telling them all they are talking horseshit - and we get not one peep out of the whole...

You guys will have to excuse Tannin. The poor old fella gets a bit emotional at times. (Don't tell him I said so, but he's past it.) What he should have said, had he been thinking with his brain instead of his digestive system - (Hey! How can I not think with my digestive system when Buck goes...

Why thankyou Buck. Coming from the man with the best-chosen pair of avatars on the site, that's a compliment indeed! Tannin and I were just saying the other day that we liked the air of old-fashioned, no-nonsense good cheer your friend the Bartender has about him, and your own image carries a...

Mercutio! Go and wash your mouth out with soap. As if Tim would be seen dead buying a Gateway.

Actually it never occurred to me to use the words "fun" and the words "Windows XP" in the same sentence before. :) Still, we all have our own particular diversions and each to his own. Mind you, like nearly all the other good things about Windows, the technology is stolen from the OS/2 world...

How can you mistake a hostess trolly for a CD player? :roll:

Didn't they teach you anything in school? It's quite simple, really. It's all to do with the initial letters. All programming languages that start with the letters "M", "P", "F", and "Z" are wonderful and very cool, whereas, as everyone knows, any programming language that starts with the...

Thanks Buck. Thanks too for your help with it (and indeed to SF members in general - yes, even you, Pradeep of the unutterably awful link). I'm concentrating on the CPU pages right now. www.redhill.net.au/hw-cpu-1.html for example. Some of them are the new look now, some the old; many entries...

Your average porn baner is more credible than MSN. But then, what isn't?

It works in IE 5.0 and in Netscape 4.08, but not Opera. No big deal - I like my goats well done, anyway.

Sounds to me like they are going to fix their broken Javascript in about seven hours time. :roll: Actually, my guess is that it means they are ready to roll out the shipping version of 2.0. Or something.

Awesome page, James. Only one thing missing from it - when you close the window it stays closed. Where are all the porn-site style pop-ups that pop-up when you close the pop-ups?

You'll be sorree!

Buck, have you tried editplus? http://www.editplus.com I love it! Not sure about SHTML - how is this different (from a text editor's point of view) from plain HTML? I don't know what I'd do without Editplus.

I chose them deliberately, of course, James. I liked the old one dollar note. Also, it appears again only larger on the "how to buy from Red Hill" page, which is mainly there to discourage idiots emailing in to say they want to buy a (inset almost anything here, usually long out of production...

Thanks for all the thoughts, guys. I'll start with Doug's idea: to use php to include files. I'm not actually sure where I'd use that, Doug. Perhaps something will occur to me down the track a little, but at present I can't think of anything much that gets included without change in multiple...

I'd prefer not to use graphics for the headlines, NRG. Only if there is no other way. But how do I find a nice large font that everyone already has? Another one to research. But first, I better go do some work.

Ahh, thankyou Tim! I had: "if (screen.width>minwidth)" where it was supposed to be: "if (screen.width>maxwidth)" Fixed now. At least the real one is fixed now: www.redhill.net.au/ig.html You should only get that message at low res (well, a variation of that message) - i.e., 800 x 600 or 640 x...

What the hell, Merc - you've tried everything else haven't you?

"You know what, Ed?" "No Dave. What?" "That kid Splash." "Yeah?" "He reminds me of your sister." "My sister, Dave?" "Yeah, your sister." "And why's that, Dave?" "Well, they've both been virgins twelve times over now." Hi splash. :)

You mean there is another way? :-? The command line rULeZ! :wink:

Ahh yes. .name A quite useless TLD, I should have thought. Who would want to be a .name? .biz, OK, .info, no problem. But .name? I can't see it. Maybe it's for vanity sites. You know: "Come to www.AbrahamPWalrusstittie.name and you can look at the pictures of my dog." or: "Visit...

This seems to be turning into a habit. What happened to my day? I wasted it playing with just one page, that's what happened to it. Sigh. Anyway, the result is at www.redhill.net.au/test.html I think I like the overall layout - a bit radical for me but what the hell - but I'm damned if I can...

Just about has to be a security level SNAFU. It reminds me of the trouble I had getting connectivity between my existing workgroup and the two new machines I added a while ago: an NT 4.0 box and an ECS box. NT and ECS both caused the same symptom whenever I tried to log onto those boxes from any...

Err .... do you mind if I take the nails and the cross?

Woops! The green swash was indeed from the hard drives index, which I hacked to form the mainboard one. Forgot to change it. It's supposed to be orange. Fixed now. But would the very pale blue be better? Actually, I wanted it to be gold. Blue and gold work really well together. I wasted a...

OK, it's rough as guts, but I've revised the code behind, and hence the look, of part of the motherboard guide now: www.redhill.net.au/ib.html Opinions on color schemes, layout and so on welcome. Oh, did I mention already? The hard drive pages are now up. Much to do on them yet, but the bare...

Tannin is jealous. :mrgrn:

Id love to have seen Solti.

I didn't see the Stones till about 1990 or so. The Voodoo Lounge tour. They were past their best by then, of course, and without the best musician of them all (Bill Wyman) (except for Keef and Woodie, of course) but they still turned it on. Two or three pretty damn hot sidemen too: Bobby...

Yeah yeah! Buy another PC. :) ... then you can overclock it.

Two "p"s, grandfather Bill. Who did I see in the '70s? Um ... Frank Zappa and the Mothers of invention, Jethro Tull, Skyhooks, Nureyev and Fontane, Itzac Pearlman .... must have been lots of others, can't remember now. Getting old, I think. Pretty soon I'll be older than you.

And too funny not to post :)

Works for me, Doug. :) Great effort, Coug. :wink:
