Interesting about the sandi over there. I've never been to any
usenet crack group or even online. But I do have 2 freeware links
I used to frequent... with honest free apps for my Win 98.

Just an FYI.

Got to get to work.

I've defragged it a few times. I've also wiped out the hard drive and
loaded everything again. It seems to be faster after wiping out the
hard drive, but only for a few months. Defragging never seemed to
help much. I guess it's a memory problem.

And that's just what's been discovered so far.
I wouldn't trust these devices to keep my data
confidential or, in the case of iPhone, my
conversations.

I would get at least one gig of memory. It's cheap and it makes a huge
difference in how your computer runs. 2 gb would be better. I'm mostly
guessing but based on the age of your computer, the memory you would
need would be something like:

Until recently I had all my previous computers, but I finally got sick
of them taking up closet space and got rid of about half of them.
Currently my oldest machine is a BX-based system that I built in the
late 1990's, and later maxed out with a P3/1200 mhz slocket and 768 mb
ram. It's running Ubuntu 10.04 and sharing a KVM with my previous
desktop, a Dell 1505 desktop pc with an early 64-bit dual-core cpu. That
one has 2 gb ram and has no problem running XP.

My current desktop is an X58-based quad-core i7 930 system with 12 GB
ram. It does sound like a lot, but I'm a network administrator and I
have a lot of virtual machines running, typically 6 or so on top of the
base Linux OS. Very handy for testing various things...

I use Spark Radio, It was before Tunein Radio. Spark works fine for now, I
know more people use TuneIn. I may someday load TuneIn and see which is
better. However the Radio App is the most used here also. Not favorite that
amazes me.

I KNOW the info in cyber-space isn't secure. That's precisely why I
choose to take extra precaustions with the info I don't want
compromised, including not even putting some info on ANY computer. To
entrust it to a 3rd party is just plain idiocy.


Many are stupid enough to use Windows. I'm not one of them.

In my limited experience, no mainframes are involved. The most common
model is a visualized infrastructure, either VMWare or MS Hyper V,
running on farms of preferably blade servers beefed up with lots of
memory, limited processor sockets but as many cores as possible. Carve
that up into as many VMs as you can and rent them on a per month (just
an example) basis with options or just vanilla. Options could be the
cloud administrators provide backups, patching and monitoring, or they
could just give em ping, pipe and power. The companies Security office
has to be involved in all models, of course. MS even has a server and
application licensing model just for this situation. Go figure.

True, but our CTO said that when RFIs are released and a response
doesn't even suggest a cloud solution it won't be considered. It's a
whole new area, so we'll see.
