I was getting some red lines marked "BUG" in the log from time to time. Maybe one of those was gdjacobs' attempt. EDIT: Got some recently... timestamp 10:41:36 (US Mountain Time), "Parse error on HTTP req 400 -- Bug: HTTP response not tracked in stats" Another edit: gdjacobs is your IP 5x.xxx.xx.x7 …

Amazing stuff!! Thank you! Very interesting! I wonder how it would handle load? I used to host a low traffic page on a Pentium MMX 233 with 256MB and it was pretty good as long as nobody was downloading anything. I am not at all sure - you know it's kind of fun watching the requests come in as …

You can look at it here: http://casablanca25.mynetgear.com:286/ I'm continuing to mess around with it today so it probably will be a little intermittent in its operation. But it should be working for now =)

Well, the moral of the story with Windows 10 is that they will leave just enough computer resources free so that the average consumer can do their average tasks without the computer crashing, but no more. It doesn't matter what the OS is doing with the resources it takes up; it could be just sitting …

I believe there is 4 MB onboard already) -- I tried doing 64 MB but my two other 16 meg sticks appear to be bad somehow, or perhaps it will not accept 68 MB of RAM. Fully cleaned out CD drive and …
