Memory Swap

At least a bit earlier for this entry than for the last.  I'm getting too old for these all-nighters.  ;-)

Still fiddling with the Acer laptop.  I did a bit of swap surgery just now, grabbing the 1 GB RAM module from the Thinkpad R40, and dropping it into the Acer.  (I dropped the now-spare 256 MB module from the Acer into the Thinkpad, just in case.)  Firing up the Acer, everything looks fine.  (Though I need to check the wireless, as I had a devilish time getting the access door off the back of the computer, and I'm a bit afraid it snagged on the wiring from the card.)  (Wiring on a wireless card...  Irony..?)

But, at least I have a gigabyte plus in the Acer, which will be welcome when I finally figure out what I'm doing with it.  (And I've got another gig stick coming, so...)

To let cats out of bags, I was actually thinking of doing a dual boot on the system, maybe Zorin and Bodhi...  Or Zorin and Puppy...  Or maybe something and MacPup...  Or...  I don't know...

I'm simply too indecisive...

It was a beautiful day here, certainly too nice to be inside fiddling with computers.  Thankfully, I got out and did my walking in the country.  Nice to get away from things with a little peace & quiet.

Now, time to go veg out for a bit...
