how can I check for RAM and chip speed in a purely DOS system? Will the MEM command give you the information you need for memory?
Um, well, we listened to aggressively cheerful music sung by people chosen for their ability to dance. Then we ate cookie dough, and talked about boys.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

Tablet PCs are really far too cool. I'm even pretty happy with winxp tablet. Apple really needs to release one of these.

My first job that involved computer programming was on a Compaq XT clone of this type. DOS 2.something, which gave us the ability to save files using a directory structure.
Hee. I used to run my BBS off of one of those. DOS 3.something, though.
I'm now missing the days of messing with DIP switches.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
You had a BBS? How cool. Have you submitted it to here?

I just looked at the San Diego section of that list. So many boards I remember. I ran a board that was part of the CMS system in the middle 80's. Must have been 1987 or 88 for when CMS: The Outpost was running.

I don't even remember what my number was (though I think it's available in an online archive somewhere). Lot of names I recall on the local section, though.

I might be looking for an external hard drive and searching through the thread, I found a post by ND: NoiseDesign "Buffistechnology 2: You Made Her So She Growls?" Jan 13, 2005 6:27:42 pm PST
That page isn't showing anything. Can you name the hard drives you were talking about?

Has anyone running OS X made an iPhoto book? And if so, what did you think of the quality?
