hah... a 386? 20 Mhz? 640 K base memory?

I started with a 1Mhz, 24 or 28K memory no HDD computer... black and green monitor. and it ran everything off the floppies. 5 1/4 floppies.

Apple IIe

still got it gathering dust in the garage somewhere.. Dad got it free from his workplace when they updated to top of the line super powerful 486 33's and relegated the old 286's to the apples jobs.

My first computer used a TV for a monitor and it was OK if you kept your documents real short.

I took a look at it and it seems to be good.

Well I'm using photofilter for pics and jasc animation shop for animated gifs. But I might give it a try if this can do both.

No, I took a better look at the XnView, and it's not better than some of my other photo programs. It has some usefull features though and can save in many different formats.

I found the Jasc Animation Shop V311, it's free, it's no Key or reg required and is the full version. I have already played a bit with it.

I noticed when I dusted off my linux drive and booted it up, opened the boinc manager and ran benchmarks, that they were almost exactly half of the benchmarks that I get on XP on the same computer. shouldn't it be the other way around, if any differance at all?

Um, President George W. Bush won't be running for President again, having served the maximum two terms in office.

I recommend the Forecastfox extension...When you have set up for your local area you'll get weather alerts that show up on the browser.

I agree Forecastfox is really good along with Adblock v.5, JS View, Quick Java, Fasterfox, Google Web Acc, ChatZilla, Google Toolbar for Firefox, FlashGot, IE View & Talkback... You make it what "you" want Jeremy, not what Mr Gates want's you to have!

I use the "GreenShift" theme for Firefox...There are many cool themes to make Firefox look like you want it to look.

Is it a Sun system or did someone just load Solaris on it? I only have limited experience with Solaris because of my work but someday I would like to own one myself. There is one computer here at work which I can access and I found the system info in the cde version of the desktop but it wasn't Solaris 9. Good luck.

The last communication I got from Eric was basically he wished he had 4 more arms so he could type on two more additional keyboards at the same time...

With BOINC work and the Alfa Receiver... Things appear to be very busy (not that most would know that here)...

It might be prudent to note that there is currently NO app available for linux.

I saw this thread and figured I'd help out with testing and run the new version. I cleared out the old files and set boinc to allow new work for seti beta. The first thing it did was try to download v5.12 but it seems there is no longer an app available for linux.

Thu 10 Aug 2006 06:20:36 PM EDT|SETI@home Beta Test|Couldn't start download of setiathome-5.12.i686-pc-linux-gnu
Thu 10 Aug 2006 06:20:36 PM EDT|SETI@home Beta Test|URL (null): invalid URL

Then when it couldn't download the app it went ahead and downloaded two tasks.
So now I have two tasks sitting here and no app to process them.

Some suggestions for the simplified GUI - Advanced Mode?

Allow it to control other pc's (like BoincView)
Show Project specific info, such as where in the sky the SETI WU being crunched came from (a pictorial representation);
no. of triplets, pulses, etc found in the WU so far (or in total);
which year the CPDN WU is 'doing' at the moment;
that kind of thing

Are these kind of things being worked on?

Somehow I doubt any of that is going to happen. They've obviously decided BOINC provides too much information and have already started hiding some of the messages displayed by default. Adding functions would be the opposite of their expressed goal. I think the ideas you've expressed are good ones, but then, I thought so every other time someone suggested them.

I don't know... the person you're responding to did state that his ideas were suggestions for the Advanced view. The whole point of the Advanced view is to display more information, hence his suggestions are perfectly plausible.

It's only the simplified GUI that's aiming to cut back on the confusion.

I realize that there are those like Kerry and Edwards who have now changed their position and are strongly anti-war. Perhaps that switch will be enough for some to support them.
