Hey. New board.

That laptop is very similar to mine. It will connect to any wireless network just fine.

EDIT: Once you add the Airport card, that is.

So, no one can help me with the memory thing?

All is well that ends in pizza.

Meara, this page: [link] says it uses 256 MB, expandable to 1.25 using PC2100 DDR SDRAM memory

This site has a nice grid [link] of prices, including OWC's [link] for the exact module.

You might even save some for the Kingston ram or others scrolling down to NewEgg, but I'll see what other people add for input.

Always, of course, go for the lifetime warranty...

Yeah, sadly, since I posted that, I calculated my taxes. Which are not a refund, as I'd expected, but a HUGE ASS OWING thing. So, um, RAM may have to wait.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.

That Lokitorrent saga is worse than you think. A mate sent this in an email.

"Edward Webber, operator of Lokitorrent.com, has sold out 600,000+ registered users to the MPAA today in exchange for reduced fines. Edward agreed to turn over the entire server contents including all user information including IP addresses and email in exchange for a smaller $40,000 dollar fine. That fine is very similar to the $42,000 or so collected as the defense fund. That's a great defense isn't it Lokitorrent? taking the money we, your users, contributed and giving it to the MPAA directly."

Don't know the source.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

oh man. well, well, well. I sure hope the MPAA doesn't go after those who downloaded "The Wire!" That's the only thing I picked up off lokitorrent. They had really bad torrents compared to LOL.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I registered at Loki but then didn't download anything. Great.

Our wings are not tired.

Silly, just for memememe question because the programmer types I work with want to foil my user preferences.

An application I use is specifically written to always open full screen because users have in the past deposited the application off the viewable screen, or some other thing.

I hate this. I am always working on 10 things at once and it just bugs and annoys me that this ap opens full screen. I have searched for more time than is reasonable for some command line to add to the run command to make it open to my personal preference, but so far thumbs down.

I'm on XP.

If anyone has an idea then I can laugh at those that want to thwart my pleasurable computing experience.

Trust my rage

This might be more of a science question than a techonology question, but...

Both my microwave and my cordless phone interfere with my wireless connection. This I get, but the computer seems to be unable to pick up the signal for the next 30-60 seconds after the phone is turned off or microwave stops. It's almost as if some distrubance in the air continues. Is that possible?
