thanks ddp. that thing must be an antique by now and probably worth some money...
the oldest computer I had a friend gave me years ago. It was the kind where you had to load audio-sized cassettes in to load the various programs. commodore 64 maybe?

Don't take it the wrong way. I wasn't implying that you did nothing. I was just frustrated and venting.
I would like to tell the reposters what to do but i am afraid i would just lose it and start spouting foul phrases after the first few and get myself banned.

my first computer was a Windows Millenium Edition setup with a 700 MHz from Gateway that i got in the winter of '00. for your reference, i was 12 :) the oldest computers i ever had the privilege of working on had both the floppy drives and were Macs...i can't remember much more because this was in about 3rd grade.

since we switched to first computers, mine i do not know if it even qualified as a computer was a Commodore 64. But back then the games i had for it, back in the days of floppy discs, were still way better than anything else like the Atari 2600. I remember sitting there playing Test Drive, Drink & Drowned, Tapper and all those other classics for hours.

speaking of memory, did you know that the lunar module that landed on the moon had a whopping 72k of memory! Its pretty amazing to think we made it all the way to the moon (supposedly) with that kind of technology.

What ddp really wanted to tell you is that his first PC had a crank on the side so the faster he cranked, the faster the processor was. <G> Or is that his current PC?!?!?!? <G>
I was a Packard Bell fan with dual 5 1/4 inch floppies which I still have, and then moved to the big PB with a Hard Drive, wow that was great. None of these needed a mouse either. Apple was the mouse King back then.
Remember Zeos when they were the badest on the block for speed?
Oh. and belated Birthday djscoop

lol, its true that gamers use Video Cards big time, Video Editing takes considerables resources as well.
