From the PC gaming world, I never did like Descent, and found Quake wore thin after the first level and after the Nine Inch Nails joke. I love FPS games; they're the reason I switched from Amiga to PC and spent hours with Doom, Heretic, Redneck Rampage, Duke Nukem 3D, and the entire Half Life series...

Those are some good numbers, Boray. I think it has more to do with buying games that will run on your system. Your scores would indicate that you'd want games rated at running on a machine with a rating of 3, and anything higher might be unsatisfactory. Here's what it says about it in Windows 7: The...

Apparently, they expand the ceiling of the scale as new technology becomes available. This means that when, for example, new processors are available, they're compared against existing processors, and the top end of the scale increases accordingly. This means that whatever score you have for the equ...

Paul, that benchmark test in the Vista control panel (classification.. something) with numbers for processor speed, memory speed, graphics etc... Is that still present in Windows 7? And do you get the same numbers as you did with Vista? That control panel is still there. It shows the same number ra...

I was at some flea market, and saw a 1540 drive sitting on a sewing machine. Some kind of gunk was plugging up the screw holes on the bottom. I asked the lady how much; she had a heavy accent and said $6.50. I asked her if it still worked, and she said she didn't know. I told her all I would offer w...

What is the perceived age of a VIC-20 user? Which of the four would you rather like to be: * 9 year old in 1982 * 9 year old in 2009 * 36 year old in 1982 * 36 year old in 2009 Technically, one could be 9 years old in 1982 AND 36 years old in 2009 and have owned a Vic 20 on both occasions, which wo...

Definitely early 80's. There was something special about being a kid with his own personal computer back in those days. The Vic 20 really turned on my imagination back then, as I imagined the possibilities computers would offer. Sitting at that keyboard, I felt as though I had been transported to th...

PC upgrades
Last night, I upgraded from a 160 GB SATA hard drive in my notebook to a 500GB drive. The upgrade was flawless and very easy to perform. Today, I upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate from Vista Home Premium. The process, while a little longer in duration, went equally as flawless. I will post details on m...

I set up rules for my e-mail, so certain key words trigger an action that moves the message to a special folder. The rest get deleted. I'm fairly certain that all versions of Outlook and Windows Mail has rules that can be set. I don't just do it for Freecycle, I use rules for all my mail. Why not le...
