No.......you aren't. Like your buddy up in Sheboygan, you are `inventing'
stuff to attribute to someone, so as to impress your `friends' with what a
`"super genius" you are.


But......I'll play along with your little `tempest in a teapot', and post up
the entire message traffic on the matter.


Here's the first one:

RC>It wasnt.



Something a few posts back rang a little bell in the back of my mind:



Didn't Chirnside say he had something like `384' megs of RAM,,,or some such
odd number? Isn't that sort of outside the norm? I know I've tried some odd
sorts of RAM amounts in the past, and things got really squirly in my system.


My method back then (and mostly still today) was to put the system back
exactly as it was prior to the problems beginning, and the minute I removed
the `odd' amount of RAM,,,,,,it straightened out.


I had 512 megs of RAM....and I think I tried to add a 256 to that for over 700
megs, and almost immediately ran into trouble. When I removed the 256 card, it
went back to normal.


I'm having difficulty imagining how Chirnside came up with a configuration
that gives him `384', unless he's trying to use three 128 cards.


If that s what he's doing...and he took one out, going back to 512, it
wouldn't surprise me if that straightened out his `malware' problem.
