I have spent some of today trying to find out some things, bits of information that I need or phone numbers I will need to call soon.
I am doing it on a PC that keeps telling me “Your virtual memory is low”
No, I think you will find YOUR virtual memory is at fault. I know my memory is rubbish thank you, but at least it is a real organic memory.
Also on the front of the black and silver carcass there is a sticker that says “Designed for Windows XP. It is loaded with Windows 2000…..oh well.
Another sticker says it has a Pentium 4 chip. Just the one, no dual or quad core malarkey here.
So this troll through cyber space has left me looking at a lot of “blue bars” filling up VERY slowly from left to right. Sometimes so slowly that the only way I can tell they are doing anything is to put the cursor on the end of where they appear to have made camp and checking back a minute later to see that they have advanced about two pixels further on from the pointer.
Arse.
So I have found one useful phone number and got nowhere with my other information quest. Meh.
Of course it does not help the speed of connection that it is lunchtime and everybody else in the company is on the net as well.
Probably blogging about how rubbish their computers are…….
