[NBLUG/talk] Hayden to: Andrew, Troy, Bob and Augie

Wow!!  What an incredibly nice bunch of people!

Thanks to each of you for your responses to my postings.  Very generous.

To: Andrew, Forgive you????? Heck, I want to kiss you!!!  $36.00 looks a whole lot better than $130.00!  In fact for an additional 18 bucks ($54.00)I can get 512 megs boosting me to 630mb.  This leads me, however to

Troy, Would 384mb or indeed 630mb overcome this concern?  If I understand you, a GNOME or KDE would fill up my existing  192mb and force apps into virtual memory thus slowing things down. (or would it crash altogether?) Additionaly, I speculate that a lighter weight, black screen desktop might not be a bad idea as learning process for a 'hatchling" and with arrival of a bigger stick I could then upgrade the desktop.  Am I in the ballpark?  Also, the option of pc 133.  Any thoughts?

Bob Blick: Bob, you threw me something of a curve ball.  I should explain that I have a rather closely guarded fund to which I add regularly with the goal of purchacing a new highgrade box.  At that point this one would be used for secondary purposes.  But I do appreciate the thought.

Augie Schwer: Right after Saturdays installfest! tx.

Thank you to all,

Hayden
