Re: Photo Processing On An Older Laptop

[John]

The manufacturer's OEM versions will be Windoze with specific drivers &
utilities for that manufacturer's models. Unless it's specifically labeled
as a RECOVERY version it shouldn't include a hardware checker to only
allow it to install on their hardware.

The Windoze part should install, but additional drivers & utilities
won't necessarily match your hardware.

I look for generic OEM versions because I usually "roll my own". I have
brand name laptops, but all my other computers (other than the Mac
Mini), I built from parts.

The Generic OEM version will just be Windoze without any hardware
specific drivers. If you need hardware specific drivers you can usually
download them from the manufacturer's website; e.g. the video card might
boot up in VGA & you'll have to get NVIDIA drivers from the card vendor.

Used to be with Tiger Direct (which was my preferred vendor because they
had a retail store right up the street from my house) or other on-line
vendors, you had to buy some piece of hardware to "qualify" for the OEM
version, but I don't think Micro$oft requires that any more. They just
don't supply any support (unless you're willing to pay for it).

My Toshiba laptop came with Windoze Vista 32bit. When I installed a
generic OEM Win7 64bit version, I had to download a bunch of drivers &
utilities from Toshiba's "support" web site. Wasn't a big deal, because
their support forums had several threads telling me what specific
packages I needed.

In fact, by the time I got around to installing Win7, they had a
complete package I could download that automagically installed all of
the necessary drivers. You might check your manufacturer's website to
see if they have the drivers you need already prepackaged too.

I realized this morning that despite installing ~150 updates my fresh

PESO: Maui Mermaid

[Daniel J. Matyola]

Yesterday was the second biggest day of the year here on Maui.  (The
first is Chinese New Year.)

Yesterday was Whale Day!   There are many observances, highlighted by
a parade up South Kihei Road, the main drag hereabouts, and an all day
festival of music, food, art, crafts and educational exhibits in the
largest county park.

One of the parade floats featured a school of mermaids.  This is one:

Re: Photo Processing On An Older Laptop

[WILSON MICHAEL]

I didn't know Rawtherapee existed until yesterday.  Just installed on UBUNTU
12.something and it works fine.  It's a 7-8 year old Samsung laptop - quite high
spec for the time, with a multicore processor, 8Gb of memory and 500Gb HDD - and
the only thing that might slow it down will be the onboard graphics.  If I pixel
peep, it takes about 5 seconds for the image to re-render (demosaic)  when I
move it.
