After a dispute with my ISP I'm back on-line again. I can see that the group
has been somewhat busy, I guess it will take me a few days to read up on the
'goings on'.

Re: Hi, all!

Glad to see you back, Tony.

This isn't busy - just a nice steady flow. You want busy, try somewhere like
the SBS group.

Hi, Tony!
Nice to have you back.
Thought you were on vacation somewhere.

Re: Hi, all!

Thanks, Charlie - yes it's all relative, isn't it? But I did think the
accumulation level was a bit steeper than when I was so abruptly
dismembered. (As a member of this here society!)

Re: Hi, all!

Well, with a severed connection and the self-destructive motherboard not yet
returned - I did see it fit to go away for five days. Did me a lot of good
too.

Re: Hi, all!

Yeah, what was the word for that thing you did?
Ah, I've got it at the tip of my tong.
Yes, it is called "living".

Nobody've said it better, Carlos - one of those things that gets you hooked!

Re: Hi, all!

I actually think you're right, it has been higher. And a goodly number of
those are Vista 64. Mostly folks thinking about it, or thinking about how to
get out of it. ;) It's going to be interesting in the coming months. I
think we're getting close to the point where x64 is a "normal" option for
folks with a new PC, and they'll have to decide if they want to go that
route. With typical mobos being capable of >4GB, it is forcing OEMs and
users both into an area they've seemed to resist for the last 3 years.

Re: Hi, all!

Now I wonder...
How many years from now we will see ourselves discussing about x128 or x256
OS's?

Re: Hi, all!

Yeah, 32bit proc's isn't filling up the shelves much. Soon, nobody but the
severely nostalgic will remember.

Carlos makes a note about future development, I think the present transition
period we are witnessing makes it likely that that there will not be 128bit
CPU's for a long time - but I believe that the bottlenecks that remain will
have to be addressed. I wonder if this might not mean that the 'SX'
architecture will be abandoned and the old 'DX' architecture be resurrected
in one fashion or other?

Something surely must happen with general Bus Architecture when Flash drives
replaces HD's!

(Unless they have something totally 'other' in mind?)

Re: Hi, all!

In fact the major system builders aren't building systems with 32bit cpus
anymore, with the possible exception of Core Duo cheapies.

By flash drives replacing HDs are you referring to the solid state drives?

Re: Hi, all!

Somewhat true, but not quite - it's a trivial matter, but I had been reading
an article about the matter in that same morning and I felt stupid and I bit
my tongue (for which I'm sorry). . .

Now to something completely different - the selfdestructive 64bit machine
has finally been fixed. It's gotten a new MB, no questions asked! I was so
pleased, I instantly ordered a 30" monitor to be delivered with it.

Tuesday (or Wednesday) will be the day!

Re: Hi, all!

By the way, here are two examples of internal SSD drives.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820183094 (typical but
too small for a system drive)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820609245 (sticker
shock, anyone?)

and this is an external (ExpressCard):
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820191058

As the pricing suggests, SSD drives are in their infancy.

Re: Hi, all!

That's the biggest problem with them now. Also, they're not nearly as fast
as one might hope, though still better than a HD.

Re: Hi, all!

It will be a while till there's a compelling need for 128 bit CPUs. At this
point, we're not even using all the possible memory address space - not even
close. So there are clearly many ways they can grow beyond this without
having to go to 128 bit. Which doesn't mean it won't happen, but I'd look
for it more in the Itanium space. And not any time soon even there.

The biggest advantage is that they don't use much power, giving longer
battery-life on notebooks. Hard-disk speed (or in this case SSD-speed) is
usually of less importance for notebook users.

Re: Hi, all!

To tell you the truth - on my way back home I nearly fell sick, thinking of
the cost, but then I remembered buying my MAG 19" CRT four years ago and
what that did to my work-space. At this time, and thinking of the recent
development (and my age!), it seemed natural to bridge into the future now
and buying a flat-screen today means having a wide-screen and having a
wide-screen means that a 24" will give me a slightly smaller picture than my
existing 19" VGA format. I know I would be severely depressed by that fact
within a few days. So, 26" displays are extremely rare and extremely
expensive for a relatively small size expansion and the 30" HP I ordered is
a bit more expensive than those but also entails a noticeable enlargement
that will eventually (I hope!) make up for the cost.

The screen comes with calibrating software but no hardware (obviously), if
someone happens to know:

could I use a Web-Camera or a Digital Camera as a simple means of
Calibrating Reference
when I set up the display at my home? I have a Casio 7.2 MPx camera
that can produce
astonishingly natural pictures.
