The Hobbit Hole III - Journey to the Cross-roads!

Posted on 12/17/2002 7:32:02 AM PST by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Journey to the Cross-roads

The Two Towers Edition

Come on! Come in! -if you would like to have some seedcakes and a pint and relax a while. (If it is a special occasion, we still have a few bottles of the old wineyards left!)

Our first thread ( New Zealander builds Hobbit hole ) reached 4,100 posts, and we thought that was big. Our second thread (The New Hobbit Hole ) held us for over 48,000 posts, and we loved it dearly. We talked about moving to a new thread for the last 38,000 posts, but we are really slow to muster! Finally, the time has come. Tomorrow (at 12:01 am, to be precise!) The Two Towers comes out, and we start a new chapter.

Haven't you heard? There's a war on! The elves in the IRS are coming at us with some new technology....something called Androgynous Lifestyle Tax, claiming credits are owed them for pointier ears and more fanciful eyebrows. We refused to pay....so....what can I say, things got a little tense. You'd hate to see the elf the horn landed in though! Heh heh....

Elves, I assure you, have nothing to do with the IRS. Your money is of no use to them and would bore them to tears!

I'm here typing on a 1998 Packard Bell...

I'll never question a dwarf's bravery. I wouldn't even give a Packard Bell to the Iraqi army.

But seriously, it sounds like a good deal. How much RAM in each? If you're running XP, 256MB is about a minimum, but 512MB is nice. RAM is the cheapest and easiest way to fix problems and increase performance.

512 in the desktop. 256 in the notebook.

The Packard Bell was convenient at the time. We had the credit on the Sears card...
