raccoon Posted June 16, 2003 Posted June 16, 2003 My one and only PC is patchwork. It's a 350MHz Pentium 2 with 320 MB of RAM, some old parts from my previous PC and things I added lateron. I shall maintain it until it falls to pieces. And I still own my good old Commodore 64. I spent many hours programming it in assembler years ago, I still do so occasionally. It recently broke down for the third time in 18 years, but I intend to repair it again!

And I know it's a typo, but 'lateron' sounds so much like the next chip from Intel Obsessed is such a strong word. I prefer to think of myself as "differently enthusiastic"
raccoon Posted June 16, 2003 Posted June 16, 2003 And I know it's a typo, but 'lateron' sounds so much like the next chip from Intel So you think it was a typo? Well, being a moderately good English speaker, I thought it was English! About the old machine: Windows98 runs well on it, for as far as Windows runs well on any machine. It's not out of date. I have installed a boot manager and some RedHat Linux version, but I haven't found the time to make myself familiar with Linux yet.
Yamyam Posted June 17, 2003 Posted June 17, 2003 So you think it was a typo? Well, being a moderately good English speaker, I thought it was English! OK, not criticising here, but I think you missed the space between 'later' and 'on', hence 'lateron'. Oh, this probably doesn't make sense to anyone except me, but that's how I saw it. About the old machine: Windows98 runs well on it, for as far as Windows runs well on any machine. It's not out of date. I have installed a boot manager and some RedHat Linux version, but I haven't found the time to make myself familiar with Linux yet. Well, if it works, keep it. I appreciate that learning Linux takes a while, so I just count myself lucky that it counts as work for me, so I get a whole 40 extra hours a week to play Obsessed is such a strong word.

raccoon Posted June 17, 2003 Posted June 17, 2003 OK, not criticising here, but I think you missed the space between 'later' and 'on', hence 'lateron'. Oops! I didn't mean to to be pedantic or teach you English! I suppose I failed to explain I had already realized my error. I meant to say I mistakingly thought 'lateron' is proper English.
Bubba136 Posted June 18, 2003 Posted June 18, 2003 Next thing you know the English and grammar critics will be passing out graded papers. :rofl: Being mentally comfortable in your own mind is the key to wearing heels in public.

I meant to say I mistakingly thought 'lateron' is proper English. That's OK. No problem. It amuses me how we can tie ourselves up in knots over this English stuff. And I ought to know better, being as English is my first and so far only language Obsessed is such a strong word. I prefer to think of myself as "differently enthusiastic"
