Upgrades?

[azekeil]

Lioness, kissycat1000's file server, has been 'upgraded' from Windows 2000 Professional running on an old dying 2GB disk to Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition. And another 128MB RAM to make 256MB total. It's a LOT faster. Now I just need to see if I can find some motherboard drivers to get over the stupid 2-3MB/s limit on the network card I seem to still be encountering...

I'm currently attempting to move a DivX from a DVD in Panther to Lioness's hard drive. I think it may take all week, at this rate... :/

If it's a burnt DVD, I had really slow transfer rates reading it to my local harddrive, so that may well have been the bottleneck rather than the network in that case.

Oh, by the way, I'm out of poker already. My brain just isn't able to concentrate enough to work out whether I'm likely to win or not, and I went all in on a pair of 5s. I lost, needless to say...

Tianna is unable to watch said movie from the server, she says it works but it jerks badly suggesting that the transfer of info can't keep up?

Never mind about poker, it was always going to be mainly a social event. How's ev1ldonut doing?

Possibly, although possibly other things too.

ev1ldonut came second to Sam.

Cool, that'll pay for my Valentines present then. ;)

Now when you say Sam, I'm assuming you don't mean the Sam I know, 'cos I don't see her managing to keep a poker face for very long.

*Visualises goddesssnoweh getting decent cards and trying not to grin like a manic*

Errr...
No, not her. It was samurite.
