Virtual memory is, of course, on by default after an installation of OS8. On a hunch, I installed 8.5 again, booted with extensions off, opened the Memory Control Panel, turned vir…

Upgrading machines is like an itch you have to scratch to me for some reason. B&W's, PCI Powermacs, and Beige G3s are just so cheap to get and upgrade these days and they …

Cool, you guys have some pretty nice machines. I've got several more desktops and another server tower, but nothing really built up. I probably won't build any more close to what…
