hi,

CNET and I do not agree with you.  It works fine.

Try it and it will work just fine.  I even used older flash memory pcmcia cards
for swap files on older laptops with tiny hd and no problems.

http://cnettv.cnet.com/8301-13415_53-10121584-11.html


Process Explorer even better then task manager, shows you all the stuff running

MS bought them out Sysinternals.

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896653.aspx

put your swap file on a thumb drive, get a 2Gb one
and leave it plugged in all the time, will make it better.

Not a option with XP and besides while it looks good on paper a "thumb drive" reads and  writes a lot slower than a HD

take a look at what is loading up at system boot

Autoruns (from Sysinternals, MS bought them out)

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx

You can customize what is loading up to make  your system lean.

you can also scan for 'not found', that can also slow you down,
it tries to look for stuff to load up but it is no longer there,
often from bad uninstalls and  upgrades.

turn off disk indexing, that will make your system run like a snail,
it constantly checks the HD and updates the tables, not necessary for our use.

we've got over 100 desktops that stay on 24/7/365 unless they need a
reboot from windows updates or trendmicro updates,
everything from XP and all flavors of windows and android too.

Then there are the servers and we won't get into that stuff.

keep track of what you change and tweak so you can go back if necessary.

hi,

you may want to change automatic updates from
automatic download and install to notify only.
Then you can control when to update your system.

another thing to look at is in hard disk properties, uncheck

"Allow indexing service to index the disk for fast file searching"

hi,

one of my favorite shows at 2AM to watch!

best bet is the radio is commercial not amateur.

One of the best episodes is when the dude
calls his buddy up and tells him he is driving a
new Cadillac Escalade that somebody left in the lot!

Buddy tells him on phone that he is in a Bait Car!

No reason why an auto reply can't be setup for busy times like the Dayton event
and no phone contact info?  How do they expect to stay in business?

Perhaps this is a hobby for W4RT instead of a business.

if you used credit card, contact the issuer and log a protest.

256.880.3866 is the fax line from their website.

email is info@w4rt.com >>>>>>> This works, received reply this morning. <<<<<<<<<<

hi,

you  can replace the encoder that is behind the main
tuning knob.

take a look at HRD ham radio deluxe, it will control the radio.

stud finders will also detect water pipes, gas lines and drain pipes
so use caution when drilling.
