Chips_B_MalroyWhat I think you really want is an AT power supply, not ATXApr 27 01:59
Chips_B_Malroyfor ISAApr 27 01:59
Chips_B_MalroyI could be wrongApr 27 01:59
Chips_B_MalroyThose old AT supplies seldom died.  Only ever had one die on me.  Several ATX supplies though.  You can probably find an old one down at the second hand store in a computer that is not worth much.Apr 27 02:01

schestowitzWho said: "A man's ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeeded be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death."Apr 27 02:03
Chips_B_MalroyThe end connectors were different on AT and ATX as wellApr 27 02:03
Chips_B_MalroyRoy> "Man would indeeded be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death."  And yet, I see so many that need some kind or moral ethical upbringing.  Look at how Bill turned out.  He worships money.Apr 27 02:04
oiaohmNot completely notice the AUX plug in ATXApr 27 02:05
Chips_B_MalroyNot agrueing in favor of religion here, only that most people need some kind of ethics they are not getting any moreApr 27 02:05

oiaohmThe AUX plug is the same plug as the AT but different wire setup.Apr 27 02:07
oiaohmYes exactly the same plug.Apr 27 02:07

Chips_B_MalroyRoy> the problem with Religion is that most people stop thinking for themselves and let some religious leader do the thinking for themApr 27 02:12

_GoblinIve had good reports of 9.10Apr 27 21:17
_Goblinfrom family (after I had fixed a sound popping issue)Apr 27 21:17
sebsebseb9.10 in general sucks, but that isn't entirely Canonica's faultApr 27 21:17
-BNtwitter/#boycottnovell-[omar_s_hafez] Ignorance is a bliss sometimes, isn't it? @mzayedApr 27 21:17
sebsebsebfor example it's not their fault, that it has a sucky new version of GDMApr 27 21:17
sebsebsebor that it has the new version of Grub 2, which is really pointless for most of us, since the old version  would have been fine.  well old Grub is no longer supported upstreamApr 27 21:18
sebsebseband it's nice to have icons in system menu, but the removed icons by default, was upstream Gnome's decession, Fedora is lke that as well.Apr 27 21:19
sebsebseb_Goblin: they actsauly made edited fusa a bit better nice icon.  ,but  I would still remove.  plus  it offered nothing proper as an upgrade really from 9.04.  unless people needed it to fix hardware for exampleApr 27 21:19
sebsebsebhowever loads of hardare that worked fine in previous versions of Ubuntu,  well it wasn't so in 9.10Apr 27 21:20
_Goblinsebsebseb: I think the boot/shutdown times were faster.Apr 27 21:21
sebsebseb_Goblin: I am not sure about thatApr 27 21:21
sebsebseb,but oh yes it was with the optional Ext4 support in 9.04Apr 27 21:21
sebsebseboh and with text boot up as well, that really was :)Apr 27 21:21
_Goblinsebsebseb: in my tests it performs far faster than 8.04 on identical hardware.Apr 27 21:21
sebsebsebalso all that apparnatly wasn't stable, since the kernel or whatever, some people got data loss after doing Ext4 in 9.04Apr 27 21:21
sebsebseb_Goblin: in my test 9.04 :) once Ext4 was doneApr 27 21:22

sebsebseb_Goblin: I disagreeApr 27 21:22

_Goblinwith DVD-9's at around 40p a shot, Ive no excuse not to simply backup and then clean install.....its not as if I have licensed software included that I have to worry about transporting to a new install.Apr 27 21:23
