That’s hot.
Maybe you can help me. My MOBO is DDR2 533. These will work, but at 533? Or must I match the ratings?
Back in the day, as long as the ram was faster than the motherboard required, it would work. But I don’t know if that’s still true.
That's not what I'm doing. I'm using it for mailing labels and such. Christmas lists, envelope labels, that type of thing. I send nothing via email from an office application (other than Outlook).
But I do want to import contact information when using Word, for the purposes outlined above. If Thunderbird integrated with OpenOffice, and had all the features of Outlook, I'd be interested.
Microsoft bloatware - using up all your RAM, so you don't have to...

There's always a trade off between security and usability.
If you want a perfectly secure system, don't connect it to the Internet and don't load any software from unknown sources.
Windows is reasonably secure. There will always be some bugs and security holes, and Microsoft works to find and plug such holes.
You're not going to get a lot more secure OS without making a number of sacrifices.
There are also relatively few security holes in Windows that can't be avoided by a little caution on the part of the user.
However, people would rather complain that Windows is to blame when they download and run some cool program that someone they have never heard of before emailed to them despite all the warnings that such programs might be harmful.
Gartner has to sell subscriptions to its service and makes these kinds of pronouncements every so often to get attention. They used to have the inside scoop, but the internet has put them on the road to obsolescence.

DING DING DING...we have a winner.
Vista cost the school where I work a ton of money.
The computers we used worked great for internet research, office 2003 (documents and spreadsheets), learning games, and keyboarding teaching software. They had small hard drives, but anything we saved would go on our server. When Vista came out, the windows updates were so large that they filled our hard drives and made most of our computers un-usable.
Thanks...I know how to import/export which I do all the time. I should of been more spefic. I want to save emails in text or word format to read.
It should throttle down but where did you find a DDR2 533?
.
That’s the old way. Now they get an email from Aunt Susie that says “Chck this owt!!” and they click on the link. Or PayPal theatens to cancel their account. Pwn3d!
Open an email, then go to File\Save As\. The two options that would interest you in the Save As Type window would be Text Only or HTML.
Ebay, about 18 months ago.
I wouldn’t put Windows in the “simple to use” category.
And the FUD goes on....:
I have the feeling XP is going to be a nightmare. I actually can say that I've already seen it kill someone's computer! (a friend bought a new Compaq laptop with XP installed...yesterday, it booted with the fun phrase "Operating system not found")

“Or PayPal theatens to cancel their account.”
I have to say that that one looked the most authentic of the phishing ones I’ve gotten. It was when you run your cursor over the link to click that you get this generic IP address rather than a worded URL that would be a dead giveaway to most. But some people still will click it.
That’s because you put Vista on an old machine. You can’t buy a hard drive that small anymore and it’s been several years since 20 gig was the norm.
Perhaps the drives were partioned with a small systems partition.
File, Save As will save the email as a text document.
You want to play games that companies only make to run on Windows, so you still have a choice it’s either Windows or no games.
It’s not the best choice, but is still is a choice.
And you can buy machines with no OS on them, so there’s always a choice, it’s just not choices you like.
but how can it be done “in bulk” to save all the emails all at once.
