I was amazed today by just how much memory has still be on the rise price wise.

I got 4G of OCZ memory in March for about £90 - now it's around £120.00.... was something like £45 before Christmas.

And this :

Is £45.00 and I bought it at the end of December 2008 for £15.00

So folks if you have any old memory kicking around now is the time to sell it on eBay.

I've got the 2Gb of Crucial memory listed to start at 99p and Buy Now of £20. Let's see how mad people are.

Had to post this find, this was the game to play at the time, Quake One

So I made 200 posts and have been promoted

I just installed XP on an Asus quad with win 7, the hard drive had been partitioned. I'd found Asus has drivers for XP and was thinking of a dual boot. It was like a trip back in time, the load time for XP was very quick, esp when compared to vista and win 7. even without the drivers. Since I didn't have drivers I couldn't connect to the internet, I'd have to download them on the other computer and put them on a disk. I tried to boot into Win 7 again, but it wasn't going to happen. Formatting the drive to remove XP still didn't let me boot into Win 7, I put in the Win 7 recovery disk and it fixed an error in a boot file so I'm back to Win 7. This is one more reason to build rather than buy, although the Gateway has 3 OS on it, all Win 7, but they don't have drivers for XP.
Unfortunate, I had a few thing I wanted to try in XP.

US scientists have found further evidence that huge seas existed long ago on Mars.

A geological mapping project found sedimentary deposits in a region called Hellas Planitia which suggest a large sea once stood there....

the ISS makes 1 orbit every 1.5 hours (or there abouts) but takes about 6 weeks to get back to where it started. The further north you are the harder it is to view.

Higher duration times and higher max elevation make it easier to see. Clear skys and not being asleep are a must
