I had a computer crash a couple of days ago and
had to reinstall my news reader. I just noticed my previous 2 posts used "Occupant" instead of "Wood Butcher". Blame, curses, and invectives will be cheerfully received as usual. Art |

Our computer, satellite receiver, and TV all went into the dumper. Sigh. Maybe a wood burning TV is the answer. twitch, jo4hn |

We got ours with the remote poker and the rotor chimney on top of the mast. You have to be careful with what you watch. I have burnt some Yankee's Woodshop down to the ground a few times. I go to bed now. r |

There ain't nothing like watching TV by candle light.

Somewhere I learned that error checking or parity type memory is designed to
protect against cosmic rays, way up in the EM spectrum, and rarely happens to anyone anywhere. How infrequently, from where these rays come from and what they're like and whether this is the primary design consideration for this hardware I don't know, but would like to. ----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Unrestricted-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 120,000+ Newsgroups ----= East and West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =---- |

actually it was probably stated, wherever I read about it, that the only
way it ever occurs was through the above, and therefore the hardware was basically not req'd ----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Unrestricted-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 120,000+ Newsgroups ----= East and West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =---- |

I know little about cosmic rays and the EM spectrum, but if this is all
true, I'd have about as much chance of getting hit by a comet or asteroid. For what its worth my ram runs around PC4400, FSB1120, DDR560. Its gold platerd to protect it from alien intrusion. ----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Unrestricted-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 120,000+ Newsgroups ----= East and West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =---- |
