We used to try and out-do each other by trying to get as much ‘free memory’ below 640k as we could by utilizing himem.
The highest I ever saw, IIRC, was something like 635k...............
Do-si-do on DWTS?................
Once I got the 580 I needed to play the game, I was good. :)
It’s funny the stuff you do that ends up being a great learning experience, and the motivation that led to it.
Writers of vanities hide damaging code in their misspelled words and retarded phrasing.
Every time somebody uses “loose” instead of “lose” JimRob’s server loses 500K of RAM. It adds up in a hurry.
Yeah, but only mildly retarded. Rarely ever full retard.
So there's that.
Picking on retards could hurt yo' momma's feelings, too. So additionally, there's that also.
You wouldn't want to hurt yo' momma's feeling would you?
I remember there were all kinds of ‘switches’ that could be used on certain DOS functions to disable certain things in order to ‘free up’ the memory below 640 ..................
That sounds hugh!
Thanks for the correction. I agree with him about people trying to profit from FR.
I guess that it doesn't matter that the saintly blogger
ripped off the MSM crap and re-wrote it and presented it anew?
It's the same crap in a different package.
You just like one package better.
Yet you are sucking up the exact same garbage.. happily and feeling righteous about it.
And we had to do it all without the help of Google.
Or even Altavista or excite!
Not all bloggers who post on FR are merely reposting things from the MSM.
Travis McGee’s posts are amazing (and so are his books).
John Semmen’s posts are funny.
Scott Adams posts are well written and thought provoking.
& etc.
I just don’t understand why you always jump on these people even when what they’re writing is interesting to other people on FR.
I mean I understand the jerks who excerpt their blogs when they’re obviously free to post the whole thing here but aside from them...
If bloggers and vanities had any negative impact to Free Republic; if they were responsible for the insufferable wait times, then Jim and the moderators would simply delete and zot their posts.
I can almost tolerate that Sean Anthony troll, but he pales in comparison to the Religion Caucus trolls who post their papist blatherings to one another.
Between the trolls, the bloggers and the religion retards - What the hell has happened here?
It’s a lot like folks expecting to be paid for writing a vanity.
Oh HELL no.
Especially when they rely on Jim’s traffic.
HELL to the NO.
We read every page of Computer Shopper and PC Mag for all the latest tips!........................
Dear Lord, did I really say 500K? That used to be a lot of RAM, by cracky... (Slinking away, feeling older than dirt)
And your point?
That’s a tiny corner of one of my JPG’s.
You must be here from the past. :)
