Also, your regular mumps update: the immunizations are on hold. Just because a few people went and got anaphylactic, some worry-worts want to suspend the hold thing and get rid of all the vaccines from that batch. Geez.

I think the town is trying to remind me that I am, indeed, in Hinton. My last patient tonight had an infected cut on his hand from a skinning knife, and as I got home, the rustling I heard in the bushes turned out to be a deer not 30 feet from the door to my building.

Also, I didn't think it was possible, but it seems that I actually upped my baseline level of snarkiness in an unconscious response to the... unique personality of the general surgeon here. This can only end badly.

Al, sounds pretty much like what I would have said (although it would have taken me a lot longer to remember how to find that info in Windows...). I'd be surprised if what you have there doesn't work, Jess. My best advice would be to try it and see what happens.

By the way, glad to see you're finally getting cracking on learning that printer repair, Jess.

Sounds good enough for me. Thanks again Al!

248 megs or ram sounds a little fishy. You probally do have 256 megs of ram but windows has already taken 8 megs away for it's own use. Or something, Par would probally know better then me. Should be fine I think, unless you are video confrencing or something then I would get more ram.

Thanks Al!

So my computer only has 248 MB RAM. Do you think that will still work? It's for an online course, so it's not like I have to do things super-fast.

If you are using a Window based system (I assume you are) then click the start button, go over to the setting option, then go to control panel, then click on the system icon. This should bring up the information.

So in summary:

Start Button ---> Setting tab--->Control panel tab--->system icon

If you are usin Linux ask Beck or Par.

Hey people who know more about computers than me (that's all of you). How do I find out if my computer has these:

Pentium-based processor (1 Ghz recommended)
256 MB RAM
Graphics display of 800X600 at 16 bit colour (65,536 colours)

???

Who wants to go see Control this Thursday? Unfortunately, it's not running on the weekend and I know I've been putting off seeing it for far too long now. It's playing at the Princess at 9:05.

And Al, I think Detroit, New Jersey and Minnesota are a lock to win on the weekend. It's a bit tough for me to say beyond those ones.

So who do you think is going to lose out of the teams in the NHL playing their game this saturday?

I'm in a hockey loser pool at work and big money is riding on this (well not for me but if I win the pool). I just need to get past x amount of rounds and hopefully be the only one left.

If you guys help me out and I do manage to win the whole shebang I owe you guys drinks! (notice drinks not drink)

Just let me know your choice before friday.
