    3D Mark 2001

    3D Mark 2001 3D benchmark program. CNET has the older 38 meg free version. There is an update to that as huge too. You CAN pay to buy it. Looks like no links for a D/L manager so you need a fast connection. You have to read it all and see some pics of the outout. Just has nubers as results...

    Coloring computer case

    No jokes but this is funny enough. Any ideas how to "dye" the plastic on the computer case DARK? A whole dark front will look better. I would almost think ink but there must be a PROPER chemical mix that won't rub off. I am not spending money just for COLOR. A side panel with fan opening is $19...

    WinMe system restore CHANGE

    WinMe system restore. It “was” minimum 400 meg, max 4 gig. It is now min 25 meg, max 499 meg. Caught this as anti virus was reading it so long and I had it disabled. Somehow I got an update and possibly fixing that HDD reading all the time by the system itself. Then “I” think I am having...

    CPU magazine photos

    Computer Power User magazine, $6 US, $8 Canada. May 2003. I don’t have a scanner so, if you are looking at magazines at the rack, it has a couple of cases showing neatly tied wires and neatly folder ribbon cables. Embarrasses ME! If you can, READ it there! Unless of course you have MONEY! More...
