@rnbwdashiswin And !hugs for support.
-
@rnbwdashiswin Not to be all wise sage-ish, but it passes. I never had ponies in school, but there were other reasons for great turmoil between me and people I thought were friends. In the end, be who you are. Doesn't always have a happy ending at first, but it does get better. I can sympathize.
-
@colfax Also, more tech note: the ponies get everywhere! I have two screens, covered in ponies. This may finally be a cure for #notenoughpony.
-
@prismq I would collab. Haven't written a comic before! Could be awesome. I take it you can make ze arts then?
-
@colfax I just tried out this Desktop Pony business... CUTE. Tech note: each pony is it's own application/process! Now that's crash resilience!
-
@prismq What are you attempting?
-
@pinkiepielovescupcakes I like Pinkie's. Almost as elaborate/played up as Rainbow's outfit, but with that Candyman vibe.
-
@scootysparkles Oh right! I think you mentioned that before! You seem to be posting in quick bursts. I can't even manage that with coffee.
-
@pinkiepielovescupcakes You get !hugs for that.
-
@chaosmagic SHE DOES EVIL DANCES!
-
@scootysparkles Feeling caffeinated, scooty? :)
-
@prismq I sense a writing project.
-
@rnbwdashiswin I'd be interested in reading it, if you're willing.
-
@rnbwdashiswin You can post the link so long as you put #NSFW in the post.

@scootysparkles Hey Scooty!
-
@starshine You might be right. I know that you have to subtract the video RAM from the 4Gb ceiling, so if you had say 4Gb of memory and a 512Mb graphics card, 3.5Gb would be the absolute max the system would see in 32 bit mode. Probably closer to 3.2Gb after you account for weird Windows things.
-
@miloth That's fair. Hopefully at some point you manage it though, because I think it will help. I totally empathize on the money thing.
-
@rotation I had someone give me a 486 as a toy. Wasn't my first computer, but it made a great DOS box.
-
If you know how to, you should be able to find (nefariously or otherwise) a copy of Windows 7 and do the upgrade.

@miloth Actually, you'd be surprised. A lot of netbooks ship with 1Gb of memory and Windows 7 and they run okay. Because Win 7 uses less memory than Vista, you might find it a bit quicker.
-
On a semi-related note, RDN has a Skype group?
-
@miloth You said you'd get 6 or 8, and I assumed you meant gigs of memory. Most computers have a physical limit to what they can address. Older machines usually the limit is 4Gb. More if it's a 64bit system.
-
@redenchilada Nice! XP or something else? My first computer had 32Mb of memory. Yeah Windows 98!
-
@miloth I'm surprised you can do anything with 1Gb of memory and Vista. Vista's memory management is like herding cockroaches. But I understand the position you're in too. If your machine is 4 years old, 4Gb is probably the max.
