Fair amount of technical problems today. Nothing to do with my pc - just some dumb e-mail stuff with the ISP - and not really their fault either.... just some stupid spam that was huge and that was making it impossible to get my mail - and so - I ended up switching to another back-end pop system... won't go into it.
If I don't respond to you promptly anymore - just chalk it up to a transfer that is going on behind the scenes somewhere in Atlanta.
And FTP to my site right now is next to impossible. Right now the ISP is saying it is probably a problem with Time Warner cable (could be); and Time Warner Cable can't find anything wrong. Symptom - lot's of FTP time outs, and my site (from my machine is slow to load images). But other sites seem okay. You know there's this whole routing process - all these pipes from my pc to their server and back and for all I know it could be a clog in any one of those pipes. So then who unclogs the clog.
Yup. Now that I think about it - clog somewhere because when I ftp my blog from blogger.com to davebeckerman.com - no problem. So something in the path from point A (My PC) to point B (Interland) is dropping the ball, and that path is different that the path from A(Blogger) to B(Interland).
As far as new PCs go. Yeah, for $2500 I can get a pretty amazing dual xeon processor Precision
Workstation from Dell.
Dell Precision 670x64
2 GB DDR2 SDRAM Memory, 400 MHz
2 2.80 GHz, 1 MB L2 Cache processors
250 GB hard drive (I have plenty of hard drives to stick in the thing already)
Their memory is expensive. I don't want another monitor, happy with this one.
One thing I don't know nuthin' bout - this 64-bit business. There are warnings that some applications won't run on 64-bit operating system. Okay - what are they?

You guys are right. Photoshop may be fine but what about the various plug-ins I'm using?
What about the printer drivers? I usually like to stay one giant step back from the "bleeding edge."
Got enough trouble without looking for more.

I'm scared to go too close to the sun and get burned.
Now, if I had a full-time repair guru who would sit on the steps outside my apartment and wait for me to call him as needed - that might work. Of course no guru would just wait around nearby in case you had a problem unless you paid them a huge amount of money.
Wonder if Donald Trump has these problems.
64? I thought the summer of love was '67
