View Full Version : Odd computer problem.

I have Windows Neon, two terabytes of RAM, and one terabyte of video memory.
For some reason, whenever I make a post or send an e-mail, it fires it backwards through the time-space continuum. Thanks to the search feature, I'll be able to see responses. Theories about fixing the problem are appreciated.

You'll need to be more specific on what the problem is. Are you saying that when you post or email, the date stamps are prior to current time? For posting, that's a function of the message board: check that your profile is set to your preferred time zone. For mis-stamped sent email, check your computer clock settings. (For received email, that's a function of the sender/mail processor, so there's nothing you can do about it.)

Bartholomew that's a problem with your meds not your hardware.
And the future is all about ubiquitous data, not oversized hardware.

Actually, Intel has added a new Special Circuit to its latest processors, and if you thought the serial number was bad, well, this could be downright dangerous. This thing can shoot an email in any direction:

I also wonder about the wisdom of Microsoft naming one of its products after a budget automobile.

I'm reminded of three decades ago when I first played this video on my Dual 1229 Apple ][

My, my, how the time flies.
Time flies like an arrow.
Fruit flies like a banana.
What are you smoking and why don't you share? :tongue

You need to get a HAL 9000 like the one I have. Great computer except tech supports has been outsourced to Zerbicon III and there's a glitch in the Microsoft Exxon security system (it allows Romulans to hack in and put videos of William Shatner singing on your computer--those crazy Romulans).

Because no matter how far into the future you go, Windows will still suck.

I installed Linux and now my posts are flying into the future!
I had to go back to prehistoric Atlantis to send this.

I thinking this is drunk posting. Healthy, pants down in the shower leaning over the bowl, drunk posting.
