Thanks guys, but I seldom ever get an error message of any sorts. I know that I have lost a job due to emails not being received or sent. The'request reciept' only works in knowing if someone has received. I have been told that replys were sent for those emails, but as usual I never recevied...

Over the last few years I have managed to collate some Sun workstations; 3 ultra 10 and ultra 5. Now, I was wondering what I could do with those machines. I can't sell them because compared to what I paid for them and what I would now get, is worthless. I was wondering how I could utilise them...

I have a laptop, with a pcmcia EP401 network card. All linux distro with kernels <2.4.18 work fine.

Hi Guys Just wondering if any one has had any experience with these addon cards. Whats the performance like? I know that I will not be able to play Doom 3 on it, but what about for applications. Is it possible to play full screen DVDs with one of these cards? What is the multimedia performance...

Just wondering why a $5k machine is slower in terms of performance then a $400 budget PC. Heres an example. I currently own a Sun ultra 10 333, 386mb, 30gb 7200rpm, creator3D. Running simple apps such as openoffice or netscape, the performance drags. My P233 laptop with 64mb ram can do thing...
