Twice as many expenses for the same income ...?
I bought it on release (on floppy disks) and it did indeed run on 4mb of ram ... it took about 10 mins to boot, and was grinding the disk for swap constantly, but it did run :-)
16mb was plenty for it.
Is he objecting or backing up?
Quite possibly, along with another commenter who said ICE cars start to give problems at 70,000 miles.
Literally yesterday I was joking that my British friend's 2005 Seat Leon is just about broken in since it passed 250,000 miles. Still runs like clockwork apparently.
Yeah!
It's more like pootling
I'm in Europe, we usually expect ICE cars to last 200,000km at least. My Dad's Peugeot had over 500,000km on it when he sold it, his 1991 Toyota's mileage is unknown since the Speedo cable broke over 10 years ago when it had 250,000km on it.
I got my little Clio cheaply because it needed the head gasket, fixing that took me one day and cost under 100€ to fix, and it's still running smooth 3 years and 50,000km later.
To throw things away just because they need a little repair seems terribly wasteful to me.
Wow. Like, I can buy a cheap Chinese motorcycle and it'll come with 3 years warranty, yet Buick can't manage 4
What about the 18 sequels?
Yup, this year I knocked together a basic access database for tracking parts in the store room. Nothing fancy, but it's taken over from 11 separate spreadsheets which have existed for the last 15 years or so ... we're saving so much time!
Not sure what's going on with the back wheel, but I do want to read this Manga now ...
Sometimes I look at Wikilok, but here most places are rideable so we'll just head out, get lost, and use a Garmin to work out how to get home, lol
