I missed out on the whole 60's scene by a couple of years. When the going got wild, I was married with a baby......Sigh. But OTOH, maybe that was a good thing, grin. Heather |

My BIOS shows the AGP Driving value fixed at '64' with an 'x' to the left. According to SiSoft I have one PCI/AGP Bus each. The 4-in-1 drivers are installed. And there is no mention of AGP in Device Manager. Since everything is working allright, I might as well forget about this. Agreed... "tip-toe away quietly" ;-) Tho it's disturbing in the sense of interpreting answers to questions one might ask that aim to find out whether a user's AGP base drivers are in place, in the context where all is not well (e.g. "I can't install my display drivers, they just don't 'take' when I try") ---------- ----- ---- --- -- - - - - When Occam's Razor meets the Halting Problem, the Halting Problem wins ---------- ----- ---- --- -- - - - - |

None of this wild hippy druggy abandon pour moi. (I can't believe I said that, LOL) HAHA! What fascinates me is how old drugs are new again, often with a change in ritual to go with it. What was tossed back by WW2 pilots in the '40s, mass-prescribed for depression by GPs in the '50s and used by the packetful by mods and rockers in the '60s, is now called "P" in NZ, "Tik" where I live, and "crystal" or "meth" most everywhere else. Hey, do folks drink meths anymore? That was always a bad idea, but you know how popular bad ideas can be. We had an athletics doping scandal in the papers a while back (and I can tell you, it takes a lot to make the papers here. Baby goes missing in shopping mall? Yawn). It was a school race meeting, and the winners tested positive for Tik. It was primary school race meeting, and these weren't 12-year-old "seniors" either. The ritual of Tik is to crush the powder up and drop it through a hole drilled into the back of an incandescent light bulb, heat the round pit containing the powder over a flame, and suck in the smoke though a drinking straw. Which means that cafes don't hand out drinking straws to kids anymore, and there are a lot of dark classrooms in the schools... ---------- ----- ---- --- -- - - - - When Occam's Razor meets the Halting Problem, the Halting Problem wins ---------- ----- ---- --- -- - - - - |
