I have no opinion on this, as long as it's readable. But if I could ask for one change, I would like for the site to auto scale down big images for users like me who browse with a 1024x768 monitor. (CRT) It is somewhat annoying to have to use my browsers built in zoom features to view pictures.

If you need such a detailed response, shouldn't you seek out, y'know, an Epiphany (or an ElementaryOS) web forum? Thought I'd test my luck by asking you guys too.:) Elementary OS forum gave me one response but it does not answer all of my questions. https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Web/ …

Anyone familiar with Epiphany web browser?

I've just downloaded ElementuaryOS for the first time and it comes with Epiphany browser. I want to know more information. I am unfamiliar with Epiphany because I use Firefox. I value my privacy and I believe Firefox cares about that, what about Epiphany? Please give me an honest answer describing …

Okay, folks, I got it. For the survival of a company it is absolutely necessary to implement cheap low-quality parts into their products' core elements. If they wouldn't do that, they would face bankruptcy. Edit: Changed by a change of mind. :) Or have a blend of the two. You get what you pay for. …
Re: Which old hard drives were high or low end?

Another Deathstar victim here. :blah: On the other hand, I have a Quantum Fireball 3.2Gb from the mid to late 90s that has seen a lot of use but still works very well. However like many (most) drives of that era it rattles horribly and on power on it needs to "warm up" so I have to set a few …
Anybody bought from this Ebay seller before?
Posted on 2016-09-29, 12:31
I see this store on Ebay called k-systems-store. Has anybody here bought from them? They have a lot of good stuff but they don't take proper ESD precaution. Some of their circuit boards are photographed on fabric even. Though in their listings they mention that they use antistatic bags and test …

I find DOS memory management to be troublesome. Games that require 8MB of memory work far better in a Windows 95 8MB system than the same one with DOS 6.22 and Win3.11. That makes no sense... I find that hard to believe too. Games build for MS-Dos 5.0/6.22, will run best in MS-Dos 5.0/6.22 Win95 …
Re: Best motherboards for Tualatin?
Posted on 2016-09-29, 11:29
I notice Athlon boards seemed to have more chances of bad caps than Pentium III boards, so I go with the Tualatin. If that's the reason for picking Tualatin over Athlon, then I think it's misguided. The best way to avoid bad caps (other than replacing them yourself) is to find a board where you can …
Re: Best motherboards for Tualatin?

If you want the absolute fastest Tualatin system, you'll need a motherboard based on the Apollo Pro 266T. This chipset easily outperforms i815 and smashes its 512MB RAM limit. And if you're made of money, dual CPU Pro266T motherboards are available as well. :) I have single-proc Pro266T system and …

I just thought that it was a reasonable trade. Just seen you offered him a Pentium board... Any Pentium board for good 486 board is not reasonable trade at all in my book ;) FIC PA-2013?! It's a SS7, going for the same or more as his board on eBay. Both overpriced on eBay. Though they should both …

If AGP performance is important then I think that rules out Serverworks, even if you got a good deal on one. I've never tried them but if I'm not mistaken they have a bad reputation with AGP. It wasn't a priority for them. If you want it to work with much later AGP cards, including the cards with …
