Are YOU a Tootle Puffer??

[TrollDragon]

BTW the Origen, which I also got today, has the same type of deep well but the flavour is nowhere close to the Magma. AS always, YMMV (see how good I'm getting with the acronyms. )

Wow that is very strange... You must not have the Origen built properly as it is at the top of the flavor food chain.

Followed closely by the Marquis, Veritas and Magma.

I have a buddy who owns the above 3 rda's and once he tried my Origen he ordered two right away.

Like we say though YMMV in all these devices.

That's crazy, and a little embarrassing. 8 was all about the new touchscreens, wasn't it? I never thought to upgrade because all I have is a janky Dell Studio. Even now that I need to buy an OS, I still wouldn't buy 8.

8 was kind of a mixture of both. 9 is the touchscreen one. I haven't found another program I liked as much as I do 7 so I won't be changing anytime soon.

Am is tootle puffer? I don't vape often, more to keep my hands busy. Still new, but my preferred builds seem to be in the 1.2-1.5 ohm range, usually have my vamo set no higher than 15 watts.
Haven't found a solid definition, so figured I'd ask here.

Welcome and yes it sounds like you are a Tootle Puffer. But even if you weren't we hand out day passes.

8 is some of both but not enough of either. I really hated than virtually none of my massive software library worked on 8. Why I keep a couple of XP PRO systems going.

I have 8.1 on my new laptop, and yeah, it's all about the touchscreen -- I like to never got it to stop popping up that on-screen keyboard when I'd click in a text entry field. But if I take the laptop out with me, having a touchscreen is handy, because I hate the touchpad even more.

Actually, I find I'm quite liking 8.1; really haven't seen any particular problems or untoward activity since I got it back in March, and never yet a BSOD; I did come in one morning to find the screen saver had frozen, and then discovered that the whole system was locked up tight, but it's only happened once so far, in over 3 months of use -- I remember winME, BSOD was about once an hour.

But I have to say that having 16gb of ram probably saves me from a LOT of ill-mannered behavior. It's hard for Windows to gobble all your resources when you have that much RAM. The POST on hard restarts takes forever though.

Uncle I'm more into the mechanical end and the working parts of computers. Have to know some about programming but not a pro by any means. I have a brand new PC that I've put more parts in than I needed to but I like them fast and a lot of storage. This one has 4 SSDs in it when one would of worked. One of them is empty. The only reason it's in there is I use it for a scratch disk for photoshop.
I'm glad you got your laptop going good again.

I'm a hardware guy myself. I'll never forget my first liquid cooled build...a thing of beauty

Win ME has got to be their worst os ever!

It would be #2 in that contest; their worst ever has to be windows 286. I started using Windows version 1.1 -- when it more properly should have been called "Window" -- anyone remember MS-DOS Executive?

I go back to CP/M on a Exceltronix S100 bus, I helped Oscar Peterson with his Compu Color's hard sectored disks, ProDos on a ][+, Commodore SuperPet, 64 and Amiga and so on... Too many machines and way too many OS'es to remember... Forgot all about RatShack's TRS-80

Hehe... I worked at a Radio Shack Computer Center in 1989. It was where I first learned how to tell who had a backup and who didn't -- when someone would call with symptoms of a fatal hard disk crash, you could tell by the length of the silence what the answer was, to "do you have a backup?"

I started before msdos. CPM and pure machine language.
Magnetic core memory. Punched paper tape. And no microprocessor CPU. All made from 7400 series chips with the instruction set in a ROM.

Most of msdos is still in winderz.

Yeah, I was kinda busy in those years, with drug addiction, alcoholism, marriage, divorce, re-marriage, and then motherhood... which induced me to enroll in a local biz college to learn some computer skills, and got my first PC -- learning (teaching myself) DOS and batchfile programming saved me from soap operas. Babies take LOTS of naps!

Thanks. I finally fit in somewhere.

Now, back to the current topic..I started with Windows 3.1.1 on a Packard bell with a 50MHz and I think 4MB of ram. That thing was awesome when I was 8

I believe the newest windows version is the first without it

8.1 still has a "command prompt" -- I had to access it to do something to ipconfig -- just finding it was a real trial!
