I've got a whole bunch of pictures on here that I don't think I posted yet, of the weekend Tom came up...

Think I'll post those along with the preamp shots, as well as some photos of the Field Day site two weeks ago...well, when we weren't staying under tarps from the rain or running away from the big antennas when the lightning came down.

Doing a little wood work in the garage, pretty boring little table but only $20 versus well over $400.  Will post pics tomorrow when I finish it.  I am waiting for glue to dry.  The guy at the kitchen store asked how I was putting it together and almost chit when I said I was gluing a table together to hold a $2200 grill.  IMO glue>screws and I am too lazy to try and hide all the screws.  There will be a couple bolts holding the shelves on, but the rest is glue and maybe some brads if I can get my gun back from my bro.

Tom, have you put that hockey puck to use yet?

nope, not yet, been really busy with moving and all that

Moving sucks. Just to clean up my house to try and sell it I took 7 pickup loads of chit to a storage unit.

"But you're in the same room as the stuff!"

"So?"

The camera is downstairs near the mayhem itself. I need to go sand Why no matter wtf I build do I have to sand.

more memory FTW. i just went from 128 meg and put in 2 sticks of PC 133 256 meg and holy hell does the computer load faster. web surfing is faster on pages with lots of graphics and memory stealing programs like itunes load much much faster.

next step is me actually getting a pentium 4 and decent non dell motherboard for my internet cruiser.

fudge pentium, go AMD 64.

Tom-

A 6-71 Detroit diesel is 6 cylinders and 71 cubes per.

The "muffler" on it was actually billed as a "spark catcher". It is in a big loader that we use. Its just plain loud and awsome.

I'm surprised XP wil take 128 meg of RAM (assuming you're running XP)...I haven't run less than 512 in a while, think I have a gig in the laptop now...but I've sort of fallen out of the loop when it comes to "DDR" and those acronyms that have come along since I was into building computers. Video cards in particular...that was something that completely exploded in a couple years' time, now people are running more processing power in just that board than whole computers had not too long ago...

Hell, the last time I built one, the Pentium MMX was still around and you were doing something if you had RAM with IC's on both sides of the PCB!

Oh, opened up the preamp box...and she's a beaut Cosmetically flawless, we'll see if she fires up. But it's going to look purdy in the equipment rack, for sure.

Pics are coming.

I really don't want anything to do with work tonight.

It's amazing just how many people piss me off ... just by opening their mouths.

or waking up steve..or waking up...lol...

glad to see you back brother ramos!!!

wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

XP will take 128 and Pentium 3 800mHz but nothing less. I had 128 and 1.2gHz now i have 512 and 1.2gHz....really i dont need anymore for right now, not like im doing major graphics or games or doing video editing. Just crusing the net and dowloading music and what not.

My computer is fast and going from 512 to 1024 made a significant difference.

Mines 1024 120 gb and a centrino duop processor................it works good enough as a lap top for now.

J

i would run 1024 if i had some 512 sticks lying around...but all i have is a bunch of 256 and i only have 2 ram slots.

XP....PC....what

MAC FTW !

Mac FTL... we just had a thread about how chitty macs are on AF.com

Uhmm...the mighty mouse has right click. Even though it looks like a normal mouse its touch sensitive

And you can use a normal mouse with a mac, the right click works the same.

I dont see a problem ?
