I'm a (reluctant) foxpro developer and I haven't heard of "microsoft fox server."
it's something I learned about while googling during a long "help desk" call to a (bad) developer of software built on the foxpro db (I haven't had to use the unnamed software since 2001 thank programmer)
I recently upgraded from 1 gig of pc3200 value ram to 2 gigs matched dual channel pc3200. It took windows 3 days of use 8 to 10 hours a day to realize I had left my virtual memory file 1.5 gigs and give me a little popup from the systray.
Now it's set to 4gigs. Everything I use it for works fine.
but I seem to remember a bunch of podcasts I thought I was interested in that were in the protected format != mp3 and therefore not being a pod-person was unable to listen.
dumb it down and give it a catchy name and all the tech illiterate will be logging onto DARPA in a few years thanks to Al Gore.
using Roger Wilco, Rainbow Six (and other game) players had realtime voice communications in 1999 over dialup. now any T,D and H can buy a videogame system with that capability built in.
People that took the time to learn what ftp and hotmetal was have been sharing images over the net for years. you remember when you could tell if a page was designed on a Mac or a PC by the absence or presence of an l. Now digital cameras can take pictures and the imgs can be uploaded without the picture taker even knowing what a jpg, or what a resolution is.
Techies have been sharing homemade audio files for years, but it took linking an incredibly convenient mainstream mythologised overpriced audio player to bring it to the illiterates attention.
well after a certain point everything reaches a base low level that companies just don't supply beyond. The video cards I buy today cost the same as the video cards I bought 7 years ago. I spend the same dolalr amount on a harddrive today as I did 7 years ago. You do get more for the money but the price doesn't seem to fall in the eyes of the enduser.

I've tryed installing and configuring mythtv on a few occasions some of those occassions lasting weeks at a time. I have not given up. Knopmyth would not utilize the three hds I had purchased. I had an 80 gig hd for the os, programs, and mp3s and two larger hds 120 and 200 gigs for the drv storage and it wouldn't use them. It also wouldn't connect to my lan to get showtimes. (knopmyth the quickest and easiest to try tho so I recommend trying it if you have a burner and the bandwidth maybe you'll get lucky like Mr. Personality)
I got new equipment because a few flavors of linux said something like "kernal panic: failed test to see if hardware was made after 2000" and wouldn't boot. wth was that about anyway?
The last install seems to be suscessfull. I used Fedora 4 on dvd. I was hung up a long time on a bad public key that I couldn't update. But I found that on a forum.
Of all the websites about mythtv this one has the most exhaustive howto I have seen. http://wilsonet.com/mythtv/
much like they came with an ata133 cable, an audio cable, a floppy disk cable, and a nice assortment of screws I will probably never need.
but I didn't use them. I set up a four ata133 hd RAID0. Since the hds were independantly controlled thier continued data transfer was 114% the burst rate of a single sata150 drive according to sissandra.
'twas the nicest setup I ever had. The fear of rebuilding after a failure was too great tho and I had to dismantle the raid.
I have a UPS with a spent battery of the type you discribe. I also have a car battery. Since you do not recommend anyone do it could you elaborate at all on how not to do said conversion. I was worried about overheating since the UPS was very cheap. I also happen to have a few 12vdc fans laying around I was considering using for cooling. How would you incorporate them if you were going to and not recomend anyone do that too?

Some neighbor kids brought a kitten to me one rainy day. It was shivering and covered in mud. I brought it in and gave it a warm bath. Before it was even dry it was purring loud enough for my father to hear it over the football game and through two closed doors. I gave it some cat food, and named it "gato" (after John Waynes dog "dog" in Big Jake) he slept on my shoulders I slept face down for 9 years(not straight through). He would come when I called. He "fetched". I put carpeting halfway up the walls and he would run aroud the room like the motorcycle dome of death. He could jump 6 feet straight up from a crouch. Whenever he jarred open the door of my room and ran down the stairs it took him 2 footfalls.
"THUMP-THUMP" A sound everyone in my family dreaded. He hated every other person on the planet and would growl like a demon at them. He had all his shots. I was the only one who could hold him for any reason and would restrain him at the vet. They were all deathly afraid of him but I never let him scratch or bite anyone.
Once I left for a week and on the fifth day he bit my sister on her calf while she was feeding him and nearly punctured the skin through jeans and cowboy boot (she had a bruise for a week).
The next time I went away I took him with me. He got carsick but scooted to his litterbox which I had on the floor in the back and puked into it. He was the best pet I've ever had. Until...
On that trip he went crazy. I had stayed up all night in the hotelroom working on a demo website and was getting ready to take a nap before a job interview. He tore around the room growling and I looked down and my foot was bleeding. He kept growling at me and since he had never done that before I put him in his cat carrier. after an hour he seemed to have calmed down. I let him out. he tore around the room growling again. I couldn't get him back into the carrier and ended up throwing him into the bathroom as he scratched and bit my arms and hands. I called a few vets to see if I could get one to come and tranq my cat. None of the vets that made housecalls were in and they told me to call animal control. I called animal control. They said they would send the guy right over. They sent two rookies that had never handled an animal before. They were joking and laughing until they saw my hands. then they sobered up and got out the cowhide gloves and snare. 30 minutes later we had the beast in the carrier and he had ruined their nice new quarter inch thick gloves. They took him to an animal shelter and wanted to keep him for 10 days. I said they could keep him forever because I couldn't trust him anymore. I went over to the shlter to sign papers and set up the 10 days and impending "sleep" he would be put to and when I opened the front door I could hear him growling out back and everyliving creature in the building was cowering in fear of the personafied evil that used to be my cat.

I do miss the "eraser head" that was on my school owned thinkpad a few years back. I spent the last couple days feeding disks into an old compaq I found in the trash that was only missing drivers from a botched win2K install.
