Finding things grooviness

Yes. Ages ago I got given a fairly old, but working, PIII Compaq Presario. It only had 64mb of RAM in it and no hard disk, which was a bit of a bummer. Fortunately, I had upgraded another hard disk (to a nice 120 Gb thang that will be filled up with things I don't really need within three weeks), so the Presario got it's hard disk. Lovely stuff, and it did a damn fine job running a Smoothwall during the 'OMFG, I blew the router up' period. After it's Smoothwall requirements were no longer needed I tried to put SUSE 9.1 on there, but it moaned about not having enough memory and ran like a very old dog with short, stumpy legs. Bunghole.

But, HURRAY! Whilst looking for an old sound card for someone yesterday, I found an aged 128 mb bit of SDRAM that works with the other stick of RAM. Oh yes. Now the Presario runs like a middle-aged dog with medium sized legs. And KDE is much prettier than it was last time I used it.

I am now a happy bunny.

Now that I've said nice things about the Presario, I bet it explodes.
