My Metal Print from 2023
Thank you for the memory @jj

Trip down memory lane: we watched the movie Ruthless People again last night. Really hilarious. There were quite a few priceless quotes including this one: Barbara: So, when do I get out of here? Sandy: As soon as Mr. Stone pays the ransom. Barbara: What’s the problem? What is the ransom? Sandy: Well, we asked…
Memory: How much is enough?
I’m always shocked by computer numbers: not by how big things are, but more by how small things used to be! For example, I’m looking at quotes for a new PC, I have to buy memory for Windows 7, and I’m looking at 4GB for that to run comfortably. But it doesn’t seem that long…
Thermal Printing: receipts fade faster than our memory
If you go to the banks in Taiwan, or you pay a bill at 7-11, or put money on your Easycard, you always get a little slip of paper that fades in about 4 weeks. These are supposed to be receipts but something about the humidity seems to make the ink dots fade rapidly. I…

Even my desktop is less powerful on that respect and that’s after a memory upgrade. It’s really a good idea…
That little Asus Eee PC: how much memory can you get?
I have a craving to buy the new Asus Eee PC 900 or 901 or even 1000~! I’m always shocked that something as small as the Asus Eee PC has more memory than any of my four personal PCs, and that’s out of the box! I have had to add memory to each of these…
