lostcarparkFound some old memory. Looked like 32MB DIMMs that might help an aging P1 computer. Replace two 16MB DIMMs. Discover they are, in fact, 8MB DIMMs. Reinstall original memory.
Earlier needed to record program on Channel 4. Realise still haven't tuned in Video. Only way to do that is through remote. Batteries in remote are dead. Can't find AAA batteries anywhere. Manage to switch video to AV channel and record via TV. Can you tell we don't use video a lot?

Date: 2004-05-19 02:20 am (UTC)8MB SIMMs were basically two sets of 4MB chips soldered onto the same board, and 32MB SIMMs were two sets of 16MB chips, making them look very similar. I'm sure there was a time I could tell them apart by the chip numbers, but that time was long ago.
