But of course I can say no more as it's a sec-ret. What isn't a secret is my hate for a certain operating system that starts with a W and rhymes with dindows. Onto part 2 of the secret project! This afternoon however I did work. Or is that "work". humm... Anyway, firstly a guy who managed to mess up email on three different machines, all in different ways. Also had an old laptop with a crappy 4200 RPM HD using way too much RAM I did something about. Couple of other odds and ends. Made me kind of nervous though, it's an older gentleman, he can barely walk, actually, but then I hear this tablesaw spin up and the sound of wood being cut! I was like, don't cut your arm off old dude! That would be heinous! Like, totally untubular! Yeah. Then number 2, a Mac better then mine but I came in and she had every program on the thing running, it was totally bogged down. I was like, you need more RAM, dudette! Then I looked at her PC. With AOL, Firefox and some Twitter thing going, she was using over ONE POINT TWENTY ONE GIGAbytes of RAM! I'm serious man! I was, like, what a bum scene this is! So I sold them another 1Gb for the PC and have to order the Mac RAM. The original problem of the scanner not being picked up I solved by removing all HP stuff from the machine and putting it back on. Came back home, put the last touches on the S.P.P.1, ate dinner, made a couple phone calls, but didn't reach everybody. Right now I'll get ready for tomorrow (4 appointments) and start secret project part 2.
