    Yeah. I have been mostly online from my tablet till Saturday, when I got my PC finally into such shape that I can take it online, with a proper browser and everything.

    ...speaking of hardware stuff, just received an offer of two Radeon 7850s (for free) from a friend who is upgrading his gaming rig. I checked the specs and they are pretty heavy duty, comparable to the nVidia GTX 600 series (two generations newer) . Now granted, I am not into gaming but they each have twice the VRAM my current unit has (I am aware that only one unit's VRAM will come into play), much faster clock speeds, improved fill rate, as well as 1200 processing streams. Both the extra VRAM and processing streams could be important when Luxrender offers GPU assisted rendering.

    Had soothing soup and then a yogurt drink with the live cultures to reinforce my poor tummy. Hopes that finally settles things down

    Sounds good! :) I take these probiotic bummis every few days, helps keep the Trout digestion ticking over despite the stress and horrible eating habits.

    I have an Nvidia Geforcee 630. Performance is decent but the single-core CPU slows down most of my online games. If I did not have the 630 card I would be willing to buy your old card Kyoto Kid.

    Thanks, but both of us really know that's not going to happen. Birds gotta sing, bees gotta buzz, and computers must destroy their innards, because they hate themselves. Or something like that.

    Oh, Skiriki! What a horrible series of events! I hate working wit hardware! I bring my computer to the shop when I have problems like that. I just replace my UPS a little over a week ago, too. I thought I just needed to replace the battery, but then it was doing weird things. But when something like a hard drive failure, or the motherboard failure I had a year ago, I don't deal with that. I just had my tech guy install a new SSD with Windows 7 Pro in April, just before Windows XP was to lose support.

    While I could take my desktop to my fave store for that, I'm too stubborn to do so. Because, well, it is personal. Like it is a personal challenge from my stupid PC to do stuff like this and I don't plan to give up...

    I had my main HD throw a wobbly at the beginning of July. At first I thought reseating the cables had fixed it, butt hen it gave a series of errors on boot (and killed Photoshop and one of my email inbox folders) so it was time for a new drive. Still installing applications.

    That's the tough part, loading backups of data files and re-installing everything!

    My wife's old desktop computer came up with an error on boot yesterday. It says the S.M.A.R.T. feature was bad on the secondary HD. I don't know what can be done about that...in fact, I'm not even sure what it means. But I continued the boot and I was able to read the drive and look at some folders. I guess maybe it won't last much longer, though. Fortunately, everything important was copied to the new laptop already. but there is a recipe application she sometimes uses that is DOS and just won't run on Windows 8.1. At least I don't think it will. I'm not even sure if we still have the installer for it. It's old. It's called MealMaster. I have been telling her that we should export the recipes she wants out of it. I think maybe I'll just look at the specs in the documents and see about doing that myself. Why wait?

    I guess I can understand that. But my way of telling the box that it won't win is bringing it to the expert. Even when it kills a hard drive, I'm usually able to get everything, or almost everything, back.

    I do hate it when I have to spend more money on new hardware, though. But that's unavoidable sometimes.

    complaint: why are some free to play online RPGs so boring and repetitive?? Funny how I find most console games fun instead. I'll spare you my long post about the negatives of MMORPs. sorry, had to rant. Gonna eat dinner now.
