That's exactly what it is. I don't think there's much chance I'll reach a masters-level graduate with a year of experience who's looking for a job on this list, but what the heck.

Re: Monitor Needed
by Michael Needham 27 Jan '12

27 Jan '12

Hi guys and thanks Jon for the response. I have the Mac to VGA adapter, in fact I have 3 of them and my current 2 monitors do not sync up right to the mac but work fine on my old PC which is a Pentium 120 with SIS VGA card. One monitor will do 640 x 480 which is supposedly the resolution on the Mac IIci -- however, IIRC there is a sync on green signal which the monitor must support for the Mac and neither of my two do this. So I have the dongle, but need the multisync monitor, or two like I mentioned :-) Hope someone can help.

Monitor Needed

Greetings All: I am seeking an older NEC Multisync or Sony Multisync monitor, 15 inch preferred that needs a good home. This is for one of my old systems that I am keeping going! If I can find two of these, that would even be better. The exact NEC model that I would like to find is XE15. Not sure what the Sony counterpart is... the jist is that they must be multisync because the machine is an old Macintosh IIci. Please let me know if you can help and I will be glad to come pick up the monitor or monitors. Thanks! -- 73, J. Mike Needham <KDØJXP> Olathe, Kansas USA

I wll be bringing and demoing a Roku XD this evening. It's a tiny embeded linux media center device that plays netflix, amongst many other things. The XD is the last of the breed to output via composite and hdmi, for those of you who like your media without HDCP. I got mine from woot.com for $50.

Re: [KULUA] Re: Weird memory issue
by Kendric Beachey 23 Nov '11

I did this and was just about to proclaim you the winner, as the machine booted up with 8 gigs! But then I noticed the video card was forcing things to a lower resolution (power saving maybe?)...and when I plugged in a couple of things that hadn't been hooked up yet (speakers and network cable), the machine locked up. Dang. Well, 4 gigs is 4 times better than the 1 gig I had before. The computer is now comfortable to use. Anybody wanna buy the 4 gigs I won't be using? I'll throw in a set of two 512 meg sticks as well. :-) $20 for all...they're all confirmed to work if your machine can pump up the power.

Weird memory issue
by Kendric Beachey 21 Nov '11

21 Nov '11

I just got four 2GB memory modules for my computer (running on 1 GB was starting to try my patience). These were destined for the four slots on my motherboard (Intel DG965RY). These combinations produce a happily working machine: any one DIMM in any slot any two DIMMs in any two slots any three DIMMs in any three slots This combination produces a machine that can't get as far as the BIOS power-on self test: all four DIMMs in all four slots It fires up the fans and stuff for about five seconds, then shuts off. Then it waits about five seconds, and fires up again...and it repeats the cycle, endlessly, until I pull the plug. Has anyone seen this sort of thing before? All of the DIMMs and all of the slots have been proven to work in isolation or combinations up to three...it's just when I try to use all four at once that it conks out. Kendric Beachey
