   My Main Squeeze, an old Dell Studio, running a 6 core Zeon is also running the full 32 with SSD's, she's more than enough for me.

Now I feel all inadequate with my RAM!  I don’t think I have any machine that runs more than 8.

I'm running a 2.66 GHz with only 4 Gig of ram, 64 bit processing system!

Dude. a 256g SSD drive for that would be what, maybe 30 bucks? a matched pair of 8g RAM sticks (used), maybe 50 bucks...  That would be a whole different machine.

Oh, C'mon, man!

I have heard the Suth Side is especially peaceful this time of year.

Heard it from a friend whose cousin is a tail gunner on a milk truck.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Yeah, but that system went down a few years ago when the battery refused to hold a charge and the CMOS battery died.  I've got a new 17" DTR running Win10 right now.

However, for use on the train I also have a little Lenovo that - get this - has a pentium CPU in it, which I have running Linux Mint.  Linux is the bees knees, especially for older systems.

Mint is a good distro...

How would you like being named "Captain Dildo" and get to lead the Dildo Parade?

I got spoiled by a 3rd gen Lenovo Yoga 11e. Man I loved that thing! So easy to take with me about anywhere... And it flips backward to become a tablet, which turns out, is a pretty handy feature...It died a cruel death months after I got it, and I ain't been the same since. I have tried several 'replacements' - entirely dissatisfied. It seems that Yoga is the perfect traveling notebook. I will be getting another... Several  gens newer. Great little box.

The one I have flips over to become a tablet as well, although personally I really haven't used that feature very much (I thought I would, which was originally why I bought it, but I never really did).

I am a KB guy too - but I like the tablet mode best in the dark... the simplified menu and touch system is usually all I need to check an email or something. Also for movies and YouTube... But on the flip-side (pun intended) That yoga KB is about the smallest thing I could efficiently use with these accursed thumbs.  happy77
