Two good links to take in later thanks.
A little ramble while I'm cooling off having come out of a very humid 95f -- e-mails, my excuse for stopping building my shed.
At some time, I'll give an update on my dual disc experimentation on another thread. At first it seemed to be everything one could want. Call the disc from the BIOS and Bob's yer uncle. However..(.why is there always a however? ) I'm getting a checkdisc call on start-up. Time and again. Shame that, it was almost perfect. Could be the fact that it's on Slave, or that when I scrunched the ribbon in the vice, a pin or two didn't get connected...but it goes so well apart from checkdiscing.
Back to the thread...striving for purity of OS. As long as it's fun, messing about is okay, but when it gets to
then haven't got time to waste on hard slog. Will try to get to grips with Vista for a week or so, then reconsider.
When I had the Fugitsu, I re-partitioned the disc with Windows inbuilt software, and no problems. On the Sony, it seems a bit harder. See tonight what that brings.
I'll try that link and rid myself of the annoying prog.
Late last night, a nice lady from SBC told me where my default code was hidden and the laptop was on line with a fantastic signal. Router type is listed as 1701HG Gateway. So, don't know if that's a gateway, or made by Gateway...which brings me to monitors.
You don't have to sell me on tubes. One used to sell some of the first 21" units from Aydin Sp? Controls. had to move all my own kit in those days and carrying up five flights of stairs in Colchester wasn't unusual. Had one in a small village that was in a small chapel. The bloke ran a machine shop in there, and when a metal laden lorry came by the picture would swing off the screen. There were scratch marks in the old red-brick from passing traffic, so it
was close.
I still have my Sony Trinitron at home. Took it out of storage and it was perfect after years.
iiyama were used as the benchmark by PC World. Gave my old 17" to a bloke down the pub this summer. Nice bit of kit, 5 BNC input and a LCD display on the front, showing the frequency etc without spoiling the picture. Twas long though...need a deep desk or no wall behind.
When Sony went to 21" the blokes at iiyama reckoned that the trinitron wires would glow and distort with the beam current. Certainly, I thought the 19 was rather nice. Should have been for 2,600 quid.
I'm using my son's cast-off Gateway 2000. 19" So much of what I do is at 1024. He's just thrown his Sony 21 into the skip. I conveyed my displeasure.
