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 …

More work on this project and some more pictures! Upgraded RAM to 52 MB (with two extra 8 MB sticks... 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 …

I watched some of it. The dude is a hero of mine but I disagree with his pushing so hard for virtual reality. It's just not for me. Cool technology, yes, but has implications for the human mind that I do not like. But John Carmack is a walking computer anyway, so it makes sense for him.

Part of my not-caring-about-the-camera attitude is because I simply don't take very many pictures to begin with, except documentation purposes such as posting pictures of my old computers on VOGONS. When I take "nice" pictures I use my old film cameras, because I don't take very many to begin with, …

Oi, I, one of these so called “people”, I don’t want that. I just want better batery life and better processor performance. I don’t need a “new” design or three useless cameras. I am also one of these people. The processor performance is good enough for me though. When I tap on something, it comes …

I always keep some menu options in my CONFIG.SYS for switching between memory managers. Usually I have: HIMEM only HIMEM + EMM386 HIMEM + EMM386 NOEMS JEMMEX And I keep JEMMEX the default, as it gives me the most free memory, until I have to run the odd game or program that doesn't like it, in which …
