Hello all!
I am still kicking, but back to work! YEAH! I'm working in industrial heating and cooling on the construction side right now. It is quite physical, in 7 weeks I have lost 32 pounds! YEAH BUDDY! I feel MUCH better, but have a long way to go.
Generally I post about projects that come my way, and I will continue to do that. I have two laptops that I received recently that I have played with a bit, a Compaq ZV6000, and a Sony Vaio PCG-9211.
The Compaq has some potential, AMD XP3200 Processor, 1.5Gb of ram, 80Gb. Hard Drive. Just stinking large! 17 inch display (Too bad it is broken right now!)
I cleaned out all the extra programs that the previous owner had installed, along with a load of malware that Malware Antibites had picked up, LOTS of cleaning, but it seems to run far better now. (1200 registry errors? never had a hit that high before?)
The Sony? Pentium III 600MHz, 256Mb Ram (MAX!) 20Gb Hard Drive. good for surfing, not for power. (What a BRICK!) Need a boot disc to install Windows on a larger Hard Drive. 20Gb wont cut it!
For now not much more than trying to clean and upgrade the memory of both laptops. It helped but there is more I can do yet to improve the performance. Time to head off once again, it's quite early and the coffee hasn't kicked in yet.
Later alll!
"ICanMan!"
