I have a question for you computer nerds... So I just increased the RAM on my laptop from 512 to 2 gig. Someone told me that I should change the page file size. Do any of you know about this and can you please help me? Thanks.

For those of you who are really behind the times, Melinda is pregnant. Check out the video of the 20 week ultrasound. If you go to 2 mins, 45 seconds into the video, you can see him standing on his head.

Yo Mally - why's the DZ national so dumb? I mean, sure almost all frats/sororities are exclusionist to begin with, but you can't be too blatant about it - at least pretend. You're just askin for big trouble if you go into a chapter and just boot out all the overweight and minorities, yes/no?

So, I just put Windows Vista on a machine. Yeah.. my Linux preferences aside - I'm not impressed. If you want UI, get a Mac. If you want techie stuff, install Linux. If you want industry standard, install XP. Vista is bells and whistles. Why take the hardware hit just to get a prettier version of a box of crap?

Okay, so maybe that is an unfair representation. I'm a geek, I understand the so called "benefits" of Vista. Granted, they are there. In terms of security, usability, etc., etc., Vista is superior to XP. BUT, I don't think its worth the performance hit.

Vista may be better than XP. Vista may be a decent OS. But having a memory requirement of 512MB just for the OS is crazy. On top of that, the price for upgrade is nuts.

Lets examine a typical computer user - someone who sends email, listens to music, browses the Internet, and writes documents and spreadsheets. Vista WILL NOT help you do these things better. In fact, you will LOSE productivity in the learning curve of figuring out the new OS.

Now, to be fair I will say that I haven't used Vista as a primary OS, which I personally think is the best way to fully evaluate an operating system.

For the money, save your cash until it becomes more of a standard, or buy a Mac, or buy a Linux PC and still have most of your money left over.

Jimmy, you really need an RSS feed so I can check your site from my browser toolbar. I know I'd visit a lot more. Just pull the Subject line into an RSS feed and lets see how that works. Should be cool.

Oh, and for those n3wBs out there, here's a linky dink
