Memory

weblog Sunday, September 25th, 2005

 

The total amount of RAM available to Grapefruit staff writers today was boosted by two gigabytes.

A last-minute decision to stop by Moorabbin’s swap meet divulged the extra memory to Andy and I, for about the same price we were going to get it from the shop. So, not that exciting, but Moorabbin is much closer than Monash and so we figure we saved at least two bucks in travel costs. It would have been more but we were in an LPG car.

Mmmm. Speedy iMac. Now I’ve got to use my new found speed to make a computer-ish picture for this blog.

    It did cost us $3 in entry fees but we saved $10 on the ram so we’re up $9 overall. Hazel got a balloon for her three dollar entry fee and Jackson got naught but the satisfaction of being right about the swap meet.

    You can’t put a price on satisfaction. But if you could, it’d be quite high. Especially for Jackson.

    $9 eh? That’s a good feeling. How justified I feel. Huge Photoshop files quiver in fear at my computer’s ability to handle them easily.

    Do you have pics for all the categories?

    A piece of general knowlede that I learnt on Sunday. iPods have a setting for quick transfer rate or quick unpluggability. It would have been handy if an iPod owner had known this.

    Handy perhaps, but sadly an unrealistic expectation if the iPod owner owns a Mac – I believe those settings are exclusive to Windows

    I hope I’m not wrong. That would be unsatisfying.

    Jackson’s right. Again. This is getting kinda weird. That’s only a windows-ish setting. And it’s more of a setting for firewire hard drives in general than a setting for iPods, I thought. We didn’t find it in iTunes, did we?

    Some categories have pics. I’m making them as I need them. I still need, of course, to fix these pages up a bit as you can see.
