Oh, I'm a Knight Person allright. I practically never get up before lunchtime. :lol: But it's allright Flagreen, you may call me Sire if you wish. I respond very positively to flowers too. Diamonds I have a passion for. (I don't actually like the things, but, well, I learned a thing or two...

OK. Step one completed. I registered Opera 6.0. On impulse, I took the offer and registered the Linux version as well. Now all I have to do is find a machine to load Linux on :-? Next step ... try to fix IE 5.0 using the Groltz method. But later.

I suggest the following: Apprentice Jester Sage Veteran Fixture No Life What's Life? These categories to be assigned to post categories at random: i.e., if the server thinks that the number 7 looks good today, we have: 0 to 10 posts: What's Life? 10 to 50 posts: Jester 50 to 250 posts...

But don't let his nifty URL mislead you: Tannin isn't remotely cool. Trust me, I know these things.

Hey! Settle down you two! Don't you know there is a lady present?

My Samsung supplier is closed for the day - putting in a new electronic ordering system, I hope it is as good as the old one - and they don't list that particular model, CougTek. But I just said "to hell with it" and ordered a Hitachi, sight unseen, for $825 ex tax - that will retail for $1000...

My Internet Explorer has gone the way of all things. When I visit Storage Forum it loads most of the page, then appears to freeze. Eventually I have to close it from theW2K (SP2) task manager. Al other apps carry on just fine. Been using Opera instead. Getting to like it. After that, I restart...

Hmmm ... I bet it's more like $1200 AU, which would put it out of the ballpark. But sounds nice. I'll check it out.

I also tried the MSI KT-266As, Vlad. Found that they were very fussy about RAM, particularly with two 256k DDRs in them. Didn't have to RMA them but had to fiddle around too much for my taste. (In fact, this, my home machine has one in it, together with an XP 1700. Couldn't make it go with...

Yes!

Been using the A-Open TFTs quite a bit lately. Very happy with them. Alas, A-Open are out of stock and don't look like having any for quite some time. There are plenty of Acers, but the Acers are nowhere near as clear and sharp. Looks like we have to switch brands. I have easy access to LG and...

Oh, and Pradeep: Thankyou to you in particular, that looks like an excellent suggestion. Next time I need a box of that kind, that thing (or at least the mainboard out of it) would be ideal. James: So far as I can tell, the case I have won't be able to use a 1/2 height PCI card or AGP card. But...

Camel plain? Or Camel filter?

Sounds very likely. The way that different browsers handle tables, especially slightly malformed tables .... enough to make you tear your hair out and spoon all dislexic fish often.

Hmmm ... .Curioser and curioser. I whacked that into a few files here at home (on my W2K machine with Navigator 4.08) and they worked just fine. So I went to www.storageforum.net and .... that worked fine too. I'll try it at the office in the morning on my odd-ball browsers. I'm utterly...

I have never used a recipe in my life. Just constitutionally unable to do it. I'm the same with music: hand me a page of sheet music and I can't play it. Hum a few bars and tell me "just improvise in the key of F" and I'm fine. Mostly, I cook what we know as "a tomatoey thing". This nearly...

Damn! No I have to go back and re-read the RAID thread because, to my shame, I have forgotten which one RAID 5 was. (Brief flick into a new window.) Ahh, yes. Minimum of three drives. Plus an extra because I'd have to pirate the one out of this, my home machine. Still, I guess I could buy an...

Read "world" was younger. Who? Me? Preview my posts?

I confess to a total lack of interest in the violent arts, be they conducted with fists or with more high-tech implements. No matter, gentlemen. I don't really need to return to this thread until I slip in to claim my rightful post #1000 and right the wrong that CougTek inflicted on us all back...

There are various i810 versions. There was an i810, an i810e and them some others, which I lost track of. This must be one of the more recent ones.

Thanks Time. I got the model number over the phone, so I may have garbaled it. I just ordered one of the Gigabyte boards. I figure if it doesn't fit into the 2U case, I can use the board up by plugging an old Celeron 600 chip I have spare in and making up a second-hand system.

Some great advice here. Thanks guys. I just found a Gigabyte board that supports the 1130 CPU, has on-board video and on-board Intel LAN, and will fit in the case just fine. GA61WS2, I think. It's an i810 chipset. Is that an absolute no-no? Or is the 810 OK? Remember, I'm more concerned with...

Ahh! It's not just my OS/2 browsers. Navigator 4.08 (the last "real" Netscape before all that Communicator bloatware destroyed it) is the same. (A Windows 2000 machine, this one.)

OK: let's put this forum to the test. Here's a curly one. I have a regular customer who wants a small server, which must fit into a 2U rackmount case. Anticipated workload is small, we plan a single 40GB 7200 RPM IDE drive for it. I have to work within my customer's specifications. And no, I'm...

I just read that again. Are you serious Greg? 4 x X15? Hoolie Doolie, that makes your rig to computing as SuperCaff's little Beamer is to cars. I'm jealous.

Well gentlemen, I'll just remind you of the faculty rules: Rule one: no pooftahs! Rule two: no member of the faculty is to maltreat the Abbos in any way whatsoever (if there's anybody watching). Rule three: no pooftahs! Rule four: I don't want to catch anyone not drinking. Rule five: no...

There are el-cheapo scanners that sell for under $100 AU, Mercutio. Canon have a parallel port one that retails for about $120 or so, I think. Actually, come to think of it, why don't we sell that one? Lots of people just want a very basic model, after all. I have avoided it simply because of...

Sorry Time, I know very, very little about scanners, or any image-related stuff for that matter. Years ago, I had persistent problems with two particular Epson printers (ones that broke and were fixed, broke again, fixed, broke again) and wrote to their service people. (Real writing, on paper I...

Mostly I like the Western Digital WD400BB, and we sell a fair number of them. Just going on gut feel, they seem a fraction faster than the Samsung 40GB 7200s that we often stock, though I often wonder if that is my imagination. But 40GB 7200s are in mild short supply right now and we have been...

I'm surprised to hear that you aren't getting any sense out of Epson Service. They always used to be excellent. And Epson scanners are not exactly low end - they start at two or three times the price of thet major selling ones.

Really? Oh goodie! Can I have several of them please? I like things that are inappropriate. Excuse me, gotta rush. Have to go polish the afterburner on my tricycle.

"... but since I type at light speed is there any way that this limitation could be eliminated?" Yes! Simply take a pair of bolt cutters and remove about six or eight fingers. Then we would be typing at the same speed and the world would be a fairer place. :cry: (Hint: I suggest a few asprin...

Just for you, Helldiver. And '59 was a very good year.

Has the timeout been accidentaly reset back to 15 minutes, by any chance? We keep getting logged out. I should really start using Opera for me and make Tannin use Explorer, or something. That way we could both log in at once. But we'd get very confused about which threads we'd read.

Well, Tannin might be bound by the non-disclosure agreement, but I'm not! Alas, Helldiver, there is little to delight you with. There is a small amount about SR's business affairs - which, essentially, boils down to "not sure yet but trying X, Y and Z" - and a whole stack of "has anyone got...

Tannin has finished his mega-post at last (over in the feedback area) and is taking a break. But yes, Mercutio, you can help. I happen to know that he needs: A new brain - old one has melted. New eyes - old ones have gone glassy and point in different diections. Someone to run an eye over...

(Actually, I'm not supposed to be in the SR Confidental area, but Tannin lets me look over his shoulder if I promise to keep quiet and not laugh at his spelling).

Nice to see it happen to someone else. :wink: Three months after that, HD. The way things have happened, a lot of the Storage Forum organisational discussion has taken place in the password-protected SR confidential area, but the vast majority of it is not relevant to the NDA, and there is no...

Looking good Doug. How about something along the lines of: (Rough hack by me and my very non-visual skill set.)

Praise to Webslave Handruin for getting our new domain name registered: www.storageforum.net It will take a few days before the new name works, but it is safely in Doug's hands now. The site titles have already gone from "Post Storage Review" to "www.StorageForum.net". Hmmm.... I'm not sure...

Fine. Going to do the other 993 posts yourself then? Err .. welcome aboard Coug. :)
