Heh. Probably. TBH, the only screen saver I've actually bought was SereneScreen, as far as I can remember. But I'll probably eventually buy some of those from 3planesoft. I like the fact that they give you a good discount if you buy more than one, and if you subscribe to their newsletter, you get even more of a discount. <a href="..

These guys have made a lot of great screen savers, but this latest one is certainly among their best!

Iomega aiming for 800GB DVDs in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

Iomega aiming for 800GB DVDs Published: May 25, 2005, 12:36 PM PDT By Richard Shim Staff Writer, CNET News.com Storage company Iomega is looking to increase the capacity of DVDs up to 100 times, meaning it could, conceivably, create 800GB discs.

Reply to 1GB USB2 JumpDrive as Windows page file? in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

What the hey, I took the plunge and assigned my 1GB Creative MP3 player as my one and only page file, and so far it seems to be working great. It seems like startup went a lot faster, but what's really noticable is how quite everything is. You don't realize just how much Windows thrashes your drive until you put the page file on a flash drive. I'll have to use it for awhile to see how the performance goes, especially af

Reply to 1GB USB2 JumpDrive as Windows page file? in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

In relocating the page file, it must be on a ‘basic’ drive. Windows XP appears not to be willing to accept page files on ‘dynamic’ drives. This appears to suggest that no, it's not possible. I have a fair amount of RAM (1GB), but there seems to be no getting away from performance hits due to th

Reply to Would you make the "switch"? in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

I have way too much time and money invested in Windows software to switch unless it was so compelling I just had to have it. And that is very unlikely. It's possible that I would I would run it as a second OS, though, if the price was right.

1GB USB2 JumpDrive as Windows page file? in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

Is this even possible, and if so, would it be fast enough? There are obvious advantages if it would work. No mechanical parts, and no sharing of the drive with applications. What made me think of it is that Samsung is developing a PATA SSD drive to compete with conventional hard drives. One of those would obviously make a great drive for a page file, but what of the drives that plug into your USB2 ports?

Because it's irrelevant? I didn't even know it was still being developed. Generally, people either use IE (or an IE variant) or Firefox, with a very small percentage using Opera. I can't remember the last time I heard someone say they were using Netscape.
