Mach64 had "Monitor" written in marker on
the slot cover. Do office
people really need to remind themselves where to plug the monitor in? I
have also seen a 3.5" floppy drives marked "hard drive a:" and the
5.25"
floppy, marked, "floppy drive b:". What's the deal?
Big YES... some is not that fast, and some aren't that good with
stuff. At my part-time peecee work, sometimes I see few machines
marked with many labels etc.
This is why the new computers and connectors now color coded, PnP,
etc. :-) Blech.
Those klutz should take Mac instead.
I also picked up a new AMD K6-II 500 to replace my IBM 6x86 233, and a
nice new heatsink/fan for it too. Hopefully I'll have my re-made socket
7 setup, up and running Linux soon :-)
Blech! Cyrix... :-P Should had gotten duron or Intel PIII around
400. K6-2 500 is around bottom rung of current processors even those
are all AMD cpus. Oh, make sure that K6-2 gets large heatsink.
Cheers.
