Tablet PCs are really far too cool. I'm even pretty happy with winxp tablet. Apple really needs to release one of these.
Hey, preaching to the choir. I thought our Lady of the Perpetual Sea Breeze was the real deal until the Divine Miss J walked right through that door and right into my ass—which is where my heart is…physiologically. I could show you an x-ray.

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!

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.

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

To tommyrot, the specs on the workable ancient laptops about my house:
the luggable, NEC PowerMate Plus:
80286
DOS 6.22
109 meg HD
according to the MEM command, 639K memory
No information on how old it is, the last time a volume was created on it was 1996, I believe.
2nd, Zenith Data Systems Z*note 325L
the earliest inventory sticker says 1993
once ran Win3.1
386, I think
DOS 6.20
121 meg HD
according to MEM command, 655,360 mem

If I only had a brain...
I came home from vacation to find the main TiVo , a Series 2, dead. When you power it on, the LEDs turn yellow/orange, but nothing is output on video.
From what I can find at Weaknees, the culprit is probably the power supply. Before I order the non-refundable supply, is there any way to verify whether it's the power supply or the motherboard that died?
