Thanks RichardSchollar!

I checked out crucial.com and let it run it's check. It is showing that my system is running at about 79% of full potential. I don't see a good ROI for the cost of bumping up 1GB just to gain 11% more brainpower. Intel® Desktop Board D101GGC. 2GB max.

I've just had a look at crucial.com too.

It's telling me I have a maximum memory capacity of 4194304 MB.

Now isn't that 4096GB?

Maybe your pc inflates everything exponentially. Is it possible if that the case that you've only actually made 31 posts on the forum?

HOw about Software!

I thought I was so cool having Word Star. This was so cool using this word processing software. Then four or five years after that getting QuattroPro spreadsheets!!!
Man was that fun!!!

Quattro was cool! There are still things Quattro would do that Excel won't. Just today I would have used the color coded tabs if Excel had that feature, but it doesn't!

Sure it does, they've had that since XL2002.

Right click the sheet tab and click on Tab Color

What I wish they had is something like Applework's glossary though.

As I recall, you could put it in a word or phrase, I don't remember how the keystrokes were assigned, but then when you hit the appropriate keystrokes it would insert the text into your document.

They introduced colored tabs in Excel 2003.

Yes! And lo and behold but didn't I discover it on my own just today!

About 20 years too late!

But hey! I do love Excel, makes my job easy!

Mine was a Wang. And the spreadsheet was called Multiplan.
Benq aka Acer was also known by another brand which I forgotten.

I think now the price is inversely proportionate to the performance
of that era. The whole set costs about USD 4000 at that time and
I think the chip was either an 8088 if I am not mistaken. Floppy
came with 5.25.

Very troublesome and unable to switch programs since in
DOS mode. I still remember one virus from that time was (C)
Brain.

Anyone sharing the same time zone?
