I can't see it properly on Open Office, I can't drag from the corner and keep it the same size :roll:

Ah thanks, I had no idea how to do that

Don't worry; I didn't either until about a month ago

I'll post my desktop when I get my good laptop back, so I bet you all can't wait to see the Vista default background

I'll post mine when my Vista desktop comes back from having a new fan fitted. Should be by the end of the week.

 

[me123]

That's scary; my vista laptop's due back at the end of the week after having a faulty battery replaced.

Was on eBay and Just typed in 'crap' for the screenshot. Bit of fun, isn't it?

Not really. It's been hot ever since I bought it - or rather had it built - but recently it has been getting to the auto switch off point.

I rang them about 2 weeks after I got it about the temperature, but they said it was OK until it turned itself off.

It's been with them today and they say it hasn't turned turned off at all, but that they haven't done a stress test.

The scary thing was that both of us have Vista computers getting repaired ATM, both due back by the end of the week.

You say your good with computers, but you cant replace / add a new fan?

But back on to the subject

I could, but it is under warranty and I don't want to void it.

You don't have to be good with computers to fit a fan

Playing around in Gimp, Just basic stuff, But a New Background now

Alternatively, ye could always dig up an old copy of Windows NT Workstation 4.0, install it onto thy PC, and enjoy blisteringly fast and much more reliable computing than ye could ever have out of Windows Vista... :razz:

(And as NT Workstation 4.0 supports NTFS - Albeit an older version - Ye should still be able to access every byte of thy 250Gb HDD as well, as long as it isn't S-ATA connected! hock:)

 

[mbonwick]

That's the problem these days Death, most stuff is SATA. Have to say, I think its speeds benefits over PATA are plain to see 8)

Personally, I beg to differ with ye on that point. I have two PCs on my network with high-volume storage (I.E: Over 100Gb) drives on them; Aragorn and Gandalf. Aragorns HDD is a 160Gb Seagate S-ATA thing, whereas Gandalfs storage is 1x120Gb and 2x80Gb volumes - All from Maxtor IIRC.

Now whenever I'm doing a large read/write on Aragorn, I normally take the chance to go and get a coffee on the go whilst that's happening...Whereas on Gandalf it's a LOT quicker. I.E: If I'm copying an 8Gb file from a USB key to the HDD, Aragorn takes a good half-hour to do it (The S-ATA drive is the bottleneck) whereas Gandalf can do it in 1/6th the time!

In my own experience; P-ATA is fast enough for what I want it to do, and the technology is certainly more stable and reliable. S-ATA on the other hand is nothing but a pain in the ass in every respect bar physical cabling, IMO... 8)

 

[mbonwick]

Depends what RAID you have on Gandalf I guess...it could be theoretically writing 3 things at once to the drives rather than the one that Aragon can do (with having one drive......)
