Edit: I still find myself in DOS or 3.11 for some of my software.

I got a new GPU

Shh I'm also alpha testing some new storage tech that's going to change the world.

Well seeing as how the President is currently on leave, I shall be taking over his executive duties as his Vice President.

THAT BEING SAID... first order of business: Windows 98 is NO LONGER the official OS of GH. As of this moment, the official GH OS is MICROSOFT NEPTUNE.

It is truly a state-of-the-art OS!

That's the best part... this is FREE! Just download the ISO and enjoy an OS that is quite literally out of this world!

Yes I have returned. But we'll save that for another thread....as President I will have some important announcements to make regarding official computer software.

Now back to Linux....

If your new try LMDE. Every once and a while I go distro crazy, trying out all kinds of stuff. Unlike most, LMDE is not a huge pain in the ass. Most stuff will probably work from the start...maybe.

I prefer VGA over BNC myself as you get less signal loss.

if that is a DVI-A it makes no difference. Maybe cabling is better on DVI? I don't know. But probably you are just jerking around

blackbox · « **Reply #135 on:** Fri, 18 July 2014, 09:58:44 »

VGA is best for standarisation

dvi-i is best for practicality.

The irritating thing about dvi is that you cant plug a dvi-i cable in a dvi-d port even if the pin-out is the same.

The bigger question is why would you ever link a picture of Windows ME in your signature? The others are fine but ME has no place for real Windows users.

WHAT DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH NOT BEING ABLE TO POST ADDITIONAL PICTURES TO MY FORUM PROFILE?

Because if you removed your Windows ME Icon, they would probably increase the size maximum.

Windows ME sucks!!

Use DOS 6.22 instead:

So, we've got an "Input Devices" subforum for mice, clickers, etc. So why don't we have an "Output Devices" subforum? Computers use a vast array of output devices such as speakers, monitors, displays, and lights. All of which I think are worth of discussion. What do you think?

You have a point there. Printers, of many different types, are another often-used computer output device.
