Re: 2 2010 macbook pro's --- vast performance differences....

Do you have “Tech Tool Pro”, or anything like that? It sounds like you need to run some diag’s on the 17” one. Something isn’t right. If nothing else, run the mac disk check on it. I’m a big believer in DiskWarrior on the Mac. I assume these are the ones you got from Eco? That was a

I have 2 2010 macbook pro's. Each have 8GB of Ram and both have a 2 TB hybrid seagate hard drives. Running Windows via Parallels. 15 inch system have reasonable perfomance. 17 inch system just crawls running windows. With RAM maxed out what else should I be looking for?

Re: IBM and Calcomp gear rescue in Toronto area

My aunt worked at Calcomp (not sure for how long but defintely in the late 70s), I think in QA. She sent me a couple test plots on some plastic back then and I still have them. I think it would be funny to rescue the plotter and send it to her, but it would probably need to be rescued

Re: Network gear that supported StarLAN 1 (not 10)

Starlan was pretty big in its' day. When I worked at IRD/Westinghouse in 1988 I walked into a Novell network that was running 2.01 on a Starlan network. If I recall there were 8 port hubs that were chained together in a daisy chain configuration: I think those were bell labs hubs. Anyway the

RE: Network gear that supported StarLAN 1 (not 10)

Wow. I ran StarLan 1 around my apartment in college, using an AT 3b1 as the hub and a collection of 8088 PCs with 8-bit ISA cards scattered around. I could rlogin (not telnet, from my recollection) from any of the PCs to the 3B1, and dial out through a 14.4 modem into the university network.
