Behold, it has been published!

And here i am, just putting all my ram into baggies and stuffing them all in a big box. Like some kind of pleb.

I have boxes for each type of RAM, and some ESD safe bags to separate some, but a lot of times I will use twist ties to keep matched sets of RAM together. This is especially handy for 72pin and 30pin SIMMs that basically require being used in sets. I made the mistake of using rubber bands many years ago, but the rubber decomposes rather quickly and then adheres to the RAM wherever it was touching. So... no more rubber bands!

3D printed holders would be neat, but I think I'd need a much larger container to put all of them in if I tried to store them this way. Also, a 3D printer. I'd need one of those too. And a place for that. And filament. Ahhh...

Now for some blitting from the back buffer.

I like NT 3.51 for its stability and the retro Windows interface. I didn't use NT as my daily driver OS until NT 4.0, though. I've learned to appreciate NT 3.51 in later years.

All versions of Windows are fast and stable when there is no software to load onto them 😉
