haha..nah, I design and setup computer networks. You have a point, it's like those people who have terminal cancer and live several years because they didn't even know they had it, but as soon as you tell 'em...they die within a month or so...the power of the mind.

You're right, some protection is better than none..granted.

I'm running 98....
When i click on the file and print sharing button under the network icon in the configuration screen (my windows is in dutch, so i don't know exactly what it's called in english), file and print sharing is turned on. But when i click on the bindings tab of the ipx/spx/tcp/ip protocol of the cable connection, it's turned off.. is that safe enough??
I really don't have any idea how it all works, i got all the LAN-tcp-ipx-protocol-shit (?) information from an old pc gamer article

just a question.
anyway to get "external RAM"???
i mean.. not PCMCIA...

i think 256 MB of ram could replace your 128. it just depends on your PIN and shit. but i'm not too familiar with laptops just yet. but i'm getting one soon. (not a titanium g4.......yet)

like lynx said, im pretty sure ya could get a 256 in there, just go to start;setup;and i forget the icon, but it deals with that slot/port, or what have you..

My brother has got a Dell P4 1300 MHZ! That thing is FAAAAAST!

I've got Dell PIII 450 MHZ
Voodoo 2 video
NVDIA TNT 16 MB video
Some crappy philips burner
Toshiba DVD
128 MB SDRAM
And some other shit, it's okay!

ewwww noooo! not a voodoo 5! they have good anti-aliasing shit but go with a geforce 2 GTS. cheaper, much more efficient and an overall better card.

infin..... you have lots of shit loaded on system tray, bottom right, u know.. ? kill some of that shit, it trashes your sys resourses... and dont bother having the V-scan running if your not on web...less your on a LAN, then u need it, im sure you know all this shit though... i saw this cool prog, on www.download.com... its rambooster... every time you click it, or tell it to... it gathers what ever amount of RAM you specifi....check it out (shrug)
