Another Gig of Ram

I had this problem with screen redraws in AutoDesk Inventor.

Called them up and asked them, why.

They asked me how much RAM I had.

I said, 512.

They laughed at me.

Now I have 1.25 G.

The screen is pretty perky.

But the Wreck still looks the same.

Should I complain?

I already look peachy. Peaches are squishy, fuzzy and round, right? QED.

Have you seen any software more basic (and cheaper) than Inventor that
allows parts to be animated -- e.g., showing a stapler open and staples
drop in? For me, precise dimensions are not critical, and I'm certainly
not doing output for CAM. So, for example, I could design a cabinet and
show the doors opening, not simply opened. TIA . -- Igor

He was probably asking about video ram, sir. My new
vid card made a marked difference in screen speed before
I added the extra 256k of RAM to the mobo.

...as they did on Fire Lake..another slice of superb harmony.

and it's Seger..not Seeger... we'll blame the keyboard.

I sometimes see his boat around here.

Have you ever noticed in the song Night Moves when Seger
(Seeger/Seegar/Cigar) is singing the line, "Just don't seem
to have as much to lose", on the word "have" it sounds like
he's got a loogie (sp?) lodged in the back of his throat and
the word just sits there and warbles?

I can't listen to the song anymore without anticipating it.

It seems like yesterday
But it was long ago
Janey was lovely, she was the queen of my nights
There in the darkness with the radio playlng low
And the secrets that we shared
The mountains that we moved
Caught like a wildfire out of control
Till there was nothing left to burn and nothing left to prove

And I remember what she said to me
How she swore that it never would end
I remember how she held me oh so tight
Wish I didn’t know now what I didn’t know then

Against the wind
We were runnin’ against the wind
We were young and strong, we were runnin’
Against the wind

And the years rolled slowly past
And I found myself alone
Surrounded bv stranners I thought were my friends
I found myself further and further from my home
And I guess I lost my way
There were oh so many roads
I was living to run and running to live
Never worried about paying or even how much I owed
Moving eight miles a minute for months at a time
Breaking all of the rules that would bend
I began to find myself searchin’
Searching for shelter again and again
Against the wind
A little something against the wind
I found myself seeking shelter against the wind

Well those drifters days are past me now
I’ve got so much more to think about
Deadlines and commitments
What to leave in, what to leave out

Against the wind
I’m still runnin’ against the wind
Well I’m older now and still
Against the wind

Just bought a Canon EOS camera - the postage-stamp size, 1/8" thick
memory card has a 2.0G capacity. Remarkable. But I digress. Sorry.
