Since we were just on the subject of hardware, I was wondering if anyone had any PC133 memory that they wanted to part with. I have a new box that's half built and would like 256MB, but I'd settle for 64 just to get it going. I'm stalling on the memory, hoping the price will come back down. (it doubled right after christmas). Thanks. Greg
http://www.thechipmerchant.com/19610-0.html Stop yer moaning! ;-) Memory is still well below the 1/mb mark we thought was insanely low 1 and 1/2 years ago. I thought for sure it would spike above that level by now given some of the Dramurai's willingness to close factories. It may very well, yet... I will look through my parts bin for you though :). -Adam On Mon, 25 Feb 2002, Gregory Avedissian wrote:

Thanks, guys. Yeah, I remember $1/MB sounding good. I also remember being able to fit a whole program into 1MB. Ah, those were the days... If you folks think memory prices are going to go higher, then maybe I better go for it now. Thanks. Greg On Monday 25 February 2002 10:45, Jeremy wrote:

<evil grin> i thought that would get a rise from those that are older than me... <g> (for the record, the oldest system i worked on regularly was a DEC PDP-11/70 running RSTS/E... we used Holerith cards and mag tape for everything except programming [had dumb terminals for that], had disc packs, and one 8" floppy drive...) -- +--------------------------------------------------------------+ | William Smith wsmith at chezsmith dot com | | Fall River, MA http://www.chezsmith.com | +--------------------------------------------------------------+ | Therapy is expensive.

Don't know if I am older than you, but I've used some ancient stuff!
(for the record, the oldest system i worked on regularly was a DEC PDP-11/70 running RSTS/E... we used Holerith cards and mag tape for everything except programming [had dumb terminals for that], had disc packs, and one 8" floppy drive...)
My oldest was a "ruggedized" PDP-11/20 used by the US Navy (SSN 688 class subs). Other than that, I have worked on "newer" stuff that we designed for the Military, but mag tape was still a requirement - the ocean can get rough enough that you have to have a backup media for those days you just can't risk a head-crash!
