IT BS thread

200 DPI and no that's what corporate wants it at

 

I would try a few things to see if you can improve it. If you can, send them. If they decide "no. 200 dpi" then I'd give them the 2/3's blank page.

 

Giving them precisely what they mandate is a good way to make a point.

I've found out its also a good way to end up looking for work.

Very dependent on your company and lots of details we don't have, so either have fun with it or tread carefully, as appropriate for your situation.

Me, I watch 'em twist

 

Its is required to be 8.5x11 AND 200 DPI. No or lol

 

Love working with "new" apps




Also got an error that it can only be installed on windows 95

 

Why are you still on 95?

 

For sport

 

It might actually be easier for me to be on 95 rather than try to install this app on Windows 2008 server.

Just to say I can

 

you win

running that in a VM?

 

Yeah, I was too lazy to dig up the K6-III+ from the attic.

 

lol, i got rid of a few old ass computers when We moved. I had an old Compaq deskpro PII 266 that had been sitting around for quite a while.

 

266, if I wasn't a techie there is no way I would have any idea what the fuck that was.

 

That's why we are in the IT BS thread.

 

The board that has the K6-III+ originally had a Pentium 200, back when all the different brand CPUs used common sockets.

 

I've had to make an adjustment in the last couple years.

If the hardware isn't a dual-core or newer, I don't even have it around any more.

This is a far cry from our old house in West Palm. About 4 years ago, I had an epic 'clean out' weekend where I threw out and/or donated 90% of my 'old' hardware.

Hell, I had a stack (like 8 chassis) of old P-200s and P233s that I ran a linux clustered OS on for a while.

I had P2s, Athlons, some old-ass Cyrix machines. ZIP and SIMM ram, some first-run IDE drives, floppy drives and ancient SCSI cables...hell, even a remarkable still-spinning LS-120 drive.

The stack that went out on the curb was almost as large a cord of cut firewood.

I had random folks knocking on my front door for three days asking if I had more to throw out. And three business cards from local schools asking for 'a call next time I decide to donate'.

*sigh*

I miss having a hardware cache that goes WAY back.

 

Ahhh, the good old days of manual dip switches!

I miss those, to be honest. I only let the magic smoke out of ONE single CPU leaning the expensive lesson of how those mattered.

 

I miss using the jumpers to set things. I still prefer the classic BIOS to UEFI.

 

Yup.

Fist time I saw one of those, I was all
