That sounds like good news for me - one of the reasons that I have no intention of moving to Vista is that I would have to buy new hardware to accommodate the memory requirement just to run the operating system. I still don't understand why MS systems are such memory hogs - the Linux distros I

I vaguely recall a problem with waking from sleep 5 or more years ago but can't recall if it was on a Mac or a Windows machine. We sleep our Macs several times a day and sometimes leave computers on for weeks at a time and never have a problem with sleep. Okay. On your advice I have enabled

Hibernation results in shut-down, and its what your UPS commands when the battery is running out and the grid power is not yet back on. Stand-by won't provide the required result in that case. At 09:07 PM 10/30/2008, Jeff Wright wrote: This illustrates why I have avoided hibernation: it's

On a PC hibernation saves a copy of your desktop and makes a snapshot of what all is running when you shut down. It then loads that snapshot when you restart the computer. When you click standby it starts to power down all sorts of things, but it is still running, albeit in a much reduced

Windows 7 is a radical departure in the way MS builds it's OS. Instead of each feature being worked on and added in at various times and various stages of 'beta', these groups aren't allowed to include their code in 7 until it is ready to ship. if you'd been keeping up with the news about 7,

P.S., I tried the InternetFrog a second time with Cox cable, and got these results: download 6.76 Mbps, upload 2.36 Mbps. Actually, after several repeats of the test, these numbers are more typical of these tests than the earlier one that I originally posted. So happens on the first post,
