I got a bad 1GB stick of fancy schmancy OCZ last year. I was getting instability when using in a dual channel configuration with its twin, but very rare. Prime95 would fail on the second calculation, and memtest should me the exact location it was bad. Used the results to RMA it.

Half of obscene is probably still obscene.

I tried to take my laptop apart last night, to clean the vents and whatnot. Damn it's hard. I cut myself in the process. I failed to get down the the CPU die, despite undoing every screw in sight. I couldn't get the enourmous heatsink/heatpipe/fan/wind tunnel arrangement off. It was pretty impressive. I guess if you're going to put a 3.2 Ghz P4 in a laptop you need some impressive cooling Smile

Well I am too scared to lose the little thing. And I don't like fucking around with the warranty, the guy at the store was really pressuring "Yeah your memory probably broke it" until it was proven not so. Claiming it voided my Applecare. (I nearly broke into a sweat, since the guy was claiming numbers in the hunderds of euro's, while I paid for the applecare, tiger and of course the iBook)

It already had it 256 MB in it. Since I value my iBook working more than the monies it takes for them to do it, they can do it.

The 200 euro's without the mandatory 20% VAT for 1 GB was a obscene number. The 84 euro's with VAT was more palletable. But still overpriced.

Well I have been exposed to way too much webmail. (Since I usually carry around my iBook everywhere, it also holds all my e-mail)

How the fuck can they e-mail as painfull as possible. Slow as molasses, and who the fuck decided that parsing the entire fucking ldap directory of the university in Javascript was a GOOD idea.

Doesn't take away the need to use the university webmail interface, since there is where I take all my non trivial e-mail.

Oh fuck, I forgot to send mine in last week.

Ah well. The beloved Pismo is holding its own. No rush.
