With the SOTW gone, I saw some politiking taking place which brought a Garth Brooks song to my attention. I've never cared for his style of music, but I must say this is good (well, the lyrics are phenomenal - the rest sounds typical of that style to me): We Shall Be Free - Garth Brooks

Sander Rossel used to post a Song Of The Week every Friday. Then he went and got a busy life, so he doesn't post them any more.

You really know my buttons! Laugh | :laugh:

It was going great until she/it? opened her/their mouth and started yelling. Laugh | :laugh:

Here's something to get the anger out of our systems: Khatia Buniatishvili - Rhapsody in Blue - a definitive recording of this great classic.

And something a little fun: Jain - Makeba

Here's some fun with the trombone (and its pieces): Nils Landgrens legendary encore

After fighting with this 10 yo PC that is cluttered and balky, and can't run Win 11, I finally bought the components last night for its replacement. I'm building it on an ASUS MB - my first from that company - with the Z690 chipset. The brains will be supplied by a Core i9 12900KF CPU running at 3.2 GHz (that boggles the mind, as my first CPU ran at an impressive 1 MHz!). For memory I'm settling for a mere 64 GB of DDR5 RAM with a 1TB SSD. Graphics will be provided by a GeForce RTX 3060 Ti card from ASUS.

Hopefully this will be able to run AutoCAD and ESRI ArcGIS with too much lag. The best part is that, a couple of calls I was holding leapt up in price this morning by enough to more than pay for the new system, so I sold them!

Happy Friday! Beer | [beer]

That typo made me laugh! Windows wouldn't even boot with that! Happy weekend to you, too! Beer | [beer]

Myself I read it three times trying to figure out what it was referring to.

Fixed it... and I checked the order, too, just in case. All good. Smile | :)

I seem to remember a time when you could buy 64 MB sticks, but I doubt they are available today off the shelf! And if they were, they should have been so cheap that the price would have triggered you as being wrong.

But surely 640k is enough? Big Grin | :-D

Wasteful! My Altair 8800 managed just fine with 16k. Who could possibly need more than say, 64k?

Congrats on the new system.

Always nice when it's paid for/free!
