Having to manage a number of WinXP machines and being in the process of upgrading about 20 more to XP, I can tell you from experience that installing a service pack right after release can be a dangerous thing to do. I have seen more things go wrong after an install than I care to think about, so I ...

Gee, I have been gone a while!
I just came back after some issues I have had to deal with and was surprised to see that I am 6th now! Sorry guys, but I had a problem of wicked work hours, a torn muscle in my leg and major hardware changes at home. One good thing though is that I upgraded one of my home machines to an AMD64 proces...

The way I figure it, the only two women I have to keep happy are my mother and my wife. My mother lives 1100 miles away and I have l...

I just added 2 more boxes, so that should add over 100 ppd. That is about all I can add at this point. I still hold that it is a great accomplishment that we can keep the Mac guys hopping with having less than half their active folders! You average points per user and I lay odds that we outperform t...

I loaded that core right after it first came out. I went home at lunch and checked again. The second wu it worked on did exactly the same thing. It failed after all the processing was done and it was trying to write the data out. Something I noticed when I rebooted was that when EMIII came up, it tr...

Ah bank examiners! I've had my fun with them, so I know what you mean. The first time I had to deal with them was some FDIC auditors at a bank in Dallas. I was a young programmer and didn't know any better. I still looked on those guys as gods, so when one asked me to let him in the computer room, g...

ForceSSE causing me problems
I had been running forceasm on my Barton 2500 (overclocked to 2.2 ghz), but when I picked up a p859 that was showing 1 hour per frame, I changed to forcesse. Well, that WU terminated, so I slowed down my OC a bit and it picked up a smaller protein and all was fine until it reached the very end. It f...

Bryan, this is an obvious and simplistic question, so don't be insulted by it, but are you sure you have your fsb and cpu timings correct in the bios? Also, have you gone into the services and disabled unnecessary ones such as messenger and such. I disabled some of mine and gained a little speed on ...

Boy, what did I get started? Rusty, I think you have hit the crux of the problem between Windows and Mac platforms. It is now simple economics and market share. Considering the cost of developing, testing, marketing and supporting a product, it is no wonder that now many applications are developed f...

Now if I was wanting to do high end drafting/graphics work, I might reconsider, but the way things stand now, why bother? No you wouldn't -- there is no such thing as drafting on the MAC -- 2d or 3d. Windows is pretty much it. As for graphics, MAC's still reign supreme there, but every year PC's ma...

Actually, I used to own a Mac also. Several things drove me away. First a lack of affordable software that was released on a timely basis. Yes, I could find something to do almost anything I wanted, but with the PC, I had many more choices and usually at better prices. Also, most games were released...

All the technical arguments for or against the platform aside, one has to admit that Gates and Co., really did a brilliant job of marketing. AND they did an excellent job of stealing the MacOS. To quote a pissed off Gates, 'That's not what a Mac does. I want Mac on the PC, I want Mac on the PC. (Th...

Economies of scale my man. Economies of scale... Of course! This is why PC parts are so inexpensive and have a superior price/performance ratio. Besides, at the time that Apple was charging so much, economies of scale were not as big an issue. Apple could easily have lowered their profit margin for...
