When I measured it on the old hardware it did. As I've commented before, the Closet of Anxieties gives me access to a lot of old hardware. Its not quite the "one machine, one task" of Microsoft, but it does mean that many functions can be off-loaded from my workstation. As a side observation: for some reason those old 500-800MHz machines with old RAM and old 20-30G drives seem rock solid. They don't overheat and even though those drives are more than 10 years old, they have outlived more modern and higher speed 500G, 750G and two 1T drives. The one under my desk doing email was decommissioned as a desktop nearly 10 years ago and has been there under my desk for the last 3 years collecting dust-balls. I upgraded my desktop and kew that my email was still being collected :-) Perhaps some day I'll replace it with this desktop, dual core, gobs of memory, terabyte raid, but lets face it; this box overheats in the summer if the a/c fails and the winter since, this being Canada, it a LOT warmer in the winter than the summer -- indoors. That old box is more reliable than the desktops that replaced it, but wtf, it couldn't run later versions of Windows. It still runs up to date RH and opesuse and others. There's a moral here somewhere. -- /"\ \ / ASCII Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML Mail / \ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
