Microsoft Windows 1.03 and other tools, 1985
Installing Windows 1.0 on the ATT PC 6300
I had a job years ago where we had a version of Pagemaker that came with a runtime version of Windows 2.x - running on a Zeos 286 with 640k.
Ah, here's screenshots of Windows/286 2.11 [link]
Good times... good times....
I think I have a copy of Pagemaker 1.0 (For the Mac, of course).
By throwing up a blank page?
I was missing a character. Fixed now.
Pro'lly everyone knows that April 1 is the 30th anniversary of Apple. Here's a picture of every single product they ever made: [link]
Hmmm. I still want a Lisa.
I have recently discovered the -h option for ls. How did I never know about this before?
Myth update. I still need to get my Remote Wonder remote control working with the remote frontend. Since the Remote Wonder works like a mouse in X, I think all I need to do is set new mappings with xmodmap. The original frontend/backend system continues to work great (the only reboot was because I needed to physically move the computer), but now the 250GB harddrive in it seems kinda small. I just discoved video playlists, nifty.
Dudes,
Need to buy a clue. My son's cheapo Dell (3 years old) no longer suffices to run online games like Second Life. He wants a games-friendly computer for his birthday. I'm assuming a separate graphics card is a must-have. What else do I need to look for? (Note that this doesn't have to be a hyped-up water-cooled machine; just something with fast graphics suitable for current games.)
Here's the Second Life requirements page. I am ashamed to admit it's gibberish to me. Is there a pre-packaged vendor that offers machines compatible with the "comfortable" needs? I'm not up for building one.
* Internet Connection*: Cable or DSL
* Computer Processor: 1.6GHz Pentium 4 or Athlon 2000+ or better
* Computer Memory: 512MB or better
* Video/Graphics Card**:
o nVidia GeForce FX 5600, GeForce 6600, or better
o OR ATI Radeon 9600, X600, or better
nVidia GeForce FX 5600, GeForce 6600, or better
OR ATI Radeon 9600, X600, or better
You have to get either an nVidia or an ATI. I think the way it works for each company is the higher the number, the better. But you might want to double-check that....
