Upon my seventh confirmed vid card annhilation (there is other pcs I have worked with as well as my own, that I can't even remember clearly that could add to that number), it triggers a pondering of the past for a few moments, remembering the routine. Windows 98 and 95 resorted to complete failures upon card destruction. I clearly remembered the fantastic epiphany of a win2k beta that resorted to software rendering mode and kept running some 7 years ago, as I gimped slowly out to the net and ordered another card. for the first time in pc history, there was a fail safe, not just a bios setting.
The above 165 megs of ram being used right now took 3 whole days to calm down to with a bad ati radeon as I am currently still awaiting the new cards (yes thats plural) and also the accelero vga cooler.
Just a thread to remember...it used to be a mind breaking, stressings brain stroking past...always at the wrong critical time...
Windows is indeed evolving beyond my older mistakes opinion, however many mistakes still linger, it is good.
