I would also enjoy neural computing. I could get a lot more done just by thinking it.Seems like a foolish risk. 😛
That depends on what it is that gets done.

...3. I always thought participation in The Thread was slacking. If it isn't, don't tell me. It would spoil all the fun.
True, but now you're slacking at slacking. Not a lot of skill sets below that ...

Hey, Steve! Where's my "mug"? 😛Here?
That mug's the wrong shape to be Jeff's. It doesn't look anything like a pork chop adapted as an offensive missile. Clearly the name on it is a forgery.

You still have a package!?!?!?!?!Geek alert! Whoop!
geek alert for a Win98 package? What on earth is that for - us real geeks still have complete sets of windows 3.1.1 and Dos 6.0 on 5.24" floppies (but nothing to load it onto, boo hoo).
I found Win 95 (and Win 98) so bloody awful that I had dual boot Dos6/Win 3.1.1 and Win 95 (Win 95 needed because some apps wouldn't run on DOS or on Win 3.1.1) on my home desktop until I "upgraded" to ME (probably the biggest mistake I ever made) which was very soon replaced by NT4 and then by XP.

...The site is member-only, so I had to join to view it (not many people know that my real name is Mr M. Mouse of Disneyland)...Hmmm, that would explain the yellow gloves, not to mention the three fingers ...

Nostalgic yes - But I have found that a bunch of mine were unreadable after several years in storage. I think I still have some, but most were trashed.White Elephant Gift - funny. Could you imagine Windows 7 being installed via floppy?
Heck, Win 7 on CD might be funny now!
Oh come on, 840 5.25" floppies would be much mre amusing that 5 or 6 CDs, wouldn't they? Or is Windows 7 even more bloated than I thought?

Probably only 7-8 CDs. Still, 7-8 CDs for an install? I remember that being a large complicated install with 5.25" floppies.
However 250 might be overkill. I think dropping 50 on someone's desk would be quite humorous.

If 50 is humorous, 250 must be a bust your gutt riot.
If I had 250 floppies to break down win 7 into, I think I would do it.

You know, if Paul keeps up this pace (100 pts/day average) in 2 months he'll be breathing down Barry's neck. Another 30 days, he'll quite possibly be in 4th or 5th position. Makes me wonder, do you still have a day job, or are you just not getting any sleep at night? 😛I'm a bit like Barry...I don't need much sleep, no...
Uh I actually had to stop that. Apparently every day that I went over 14 hours I started spouting crap so wrong even DBCC TIMEWARP couldn't make it right. I got so tired of apologizing for it all the time that it finally occurred to me to just stop when I got tired. So as it turns out, I do need sleep, I'm just not always bright enough to remember it. 🙁

...I like that version. That's even better. ("Even more betterer", since we're already playing with the limitations of English. Might even be "bettest".)Heh. Funny, that's what my mother-in-law called me at my wedding. Wait, that was with a "U"...

My working hours wax and wane with demand, been relatively easy recently.
And isn't it 30 days to Barry, then 30 days to you? 😉
Sounds like a gauntlet throw down there.
I sure wish that people would stop throwing those things at me... 😛

Higher ranking than Paul. First he will pass you (in 30 days) then Lynn (after 30 more days). In reference to him posting 100 posts a day / 3000 posts a month.

Sometimes I'm still amazed by how fast technology moves. I just ordered a 2 TB HD for $150. The first computer I ever ordered included a 75 Meg HD. I don't remember what the HD cost, but I remember that it was $350 more than the 40 Meg HD.It's crazy. My Home Server died with a disk error. I had 5TB in there, for about $350 and likely am going to be buying a new 2TB drive on there.
My first HDD was a 20MB one that was probably about $400. Before that I know I paid about $80-100 for a cassette tape drive back in the day.
🙁
Steve, was that Windows Home Server? I ordered this HD because I need more storage, but the first thing I'm going to use it for is to replace the C drive on my desktop so I can test Windows Home Server. I may build a new machine for WHS, if I like it.
I remember you wrote an article about WHS. I was wondering if you kept on using it.
Also, I've been debating what size HD to get. The bigger the HD, the bigger the potential loss if the HD fails. If I go ahead we WHS I'll probably have it duplicate the important files.
Edit: When will I learn to press F5 before quoting a post?????
This is why I always buy them in pairs now. Pretty much solves that problem.
