'Tis what I use for my work laptops. My newer X1 Carbon is light and strong.

Try these Bob! They're maybe not quite as soft as the "real" thing, but I always used to like my macaroni a little less soft anyway. Just had these last night (only the second time - they were a new item at the store on Friday), and I can say I will be buying quite a few more of them! FWIW - I've had to basically cut out all grains (since I now know they all turn into sugar and carbs) and have cut WAY back on my sugar intake, so I've used several of these vegetable pasta alternatives. Some are better than others, none are quite as awesome as real pasta was, but they do a good job of replacing them. I use some in recipes I have that call for pasta.

Well, that would explain a lot! ? ("I woke up from what seemed like a long nightmare and found I was decked out in a Liverpool kit... It was then I realized that I must have died and this wasn't Heaven..." ?)

Is this the "Norfolk" look? ?

While you're watching look for hard faults - those are bad. If the computer runs out of actual memory to use, it will switch to "virtual memory" which translates to using the hard drive. Although SSD's are MUCH faster than the older, spinning disks, they are still much slower than actual RAM.

I completely agree! As always! ?

Remember when...

I hear after Mac dies, they'll need to find some Paul bearers...

Kill me now! ? Heck, even THIS is better! ?

Barebones Windows 10 Home will actually install in just 2 GB of RAM (the Amazon AWS "Value" WorkSpace does this), but really, WHY??? I guess you could play solitaire on it - maybe... We always recommend 8 GB for Windows 10.

@ Mesh - Per Alan Parsons, RAM is everything! Why settle for only 8 GB? Memory has gotten very cheap lately. For dual-channel use, you'd want two sticks of exactly the same RAM. So, if you're system comes with two 4 GB sticks, then you'll actually be faster than if there's only one 8 GB stick in there. That said, if you DO have only one stick in there, you just need to get a second matching stick to get the performance boost.

Is that Beagle's becan? Hey! That'd make a good song. Someone should do that someday. ? (Speaking of all that, good to see a Reece appearance - been awhile! ? Now, where IS Karen?)

Man have you been going down some strange rabbit holes lately Mesh! (I like it! ?)

Once again, so much good stuff here that really belongs in a Techniques subforum!

What a voice!

Jethro Tull did a song about me Scott: Living In The Past. ?

And it's one of the more intellectual threads around here.

Wow... There's so many of the selections above that match what I would have posted! Noice!

Yep... My Mom always calls me when a musician dies "Do you know who [name] is?" She made that call about Ginger while I was driving home from a client tonight...

More like a Mac attack. ?

I prefer lips on one. (Mine. ?)

*Pfft!!!* That's one of my newer SONAR books! ?
