Old faithful runs a P166 with 256MB RAM and a whopping 2MB on the graphics card.

Does most things when asked, and in a timely fashion, except of course very large graphics files.

16 megabyte graphics card & pentium 3 processor? You were lucky, when I were a lad I used to dream about 16MB graphics and PIII processors. I had to get up in the morning at 6 am and light fire under boiler to get steam processor going. Luxury!

With apologies to "The three Yorkshiremen". :D

Steam processor? Huh!

Well of course we 'ad it tough. We used to get up at 12 o'clock at night, half an hour before we went to bed. Go down't IDG building, set up treadle Turing machine, fight with others for 'telephone to call exchange, all for 5c a day, for four years.

198644 2003-12-09 09:42:00 Well when I said steam, it were hardly steam really, me dad use to shove me and me brother in t'boiler at 4 o'clock in t'morning, half way to the middle of next week and flay the skin of us w' lighter until computer was booted.

We didn't have no treadle machines and you were lucky to have nice clean IDG office t' fight in, we had to fight in middle of fellmongery then clean each other off w'tongue before father would let us pay him a shilling to shove us back into boiler again, day in day out for ten years w' never a day off or a kind word. We used to dream about fighting for telephone.

We had it tough!

198645 2003-12-09 09:53:00 Tough, eh? well, after we had started explaining what politicians do and just why we need and revere businessmen who rip any sort of profit from whatever asset they see, I had to explain how this country was formed before anyone had an appartment to buy. brewer (4389)
