Fortunately my new Pentium 4 PC with a gig of ram should handle
the large files from the new scanner.

Two words:

Athlon 64

I considered going that way. I can thank Scott W. for talking me
out of it. I'm sure the gamers are loving it though. I'm also sure
that by the time any of the programs I use come out in 64 bit
versions the current Athlon 64 bit chips will be obsolete.

Shows how ignorant you both are. The Athlon 64 has a very productive
life as a really fast processor of regular 32 bit programs.

I investigated it's performance dip****.

Next time, try writing your thoughts down in English.

It offered very poor
improvement if any over my processor for my particular uses. And it
would have cost me an additional 1,000 dollars.

LOL! The incremental cost to me was more like $200 to get a 28% improvement.

That is money that
will be spent on something that actually will make a substantial
difference for my purposes.

Given that you claim costs that are 500% of my costs and benefits that are
far less than mine, I guess that it would be hard for you to justify any
kind of improvement.

Upgrading for the sake of upgrading is just a waste of money.

Spoken like a person who blew his limited wad on an inferior product,
sockpuppet wheel.

Did that once on a ****ty CD player almost twenty years ago. I
learned my lesson.

I avoided making that mistake by buying a good Cd player.

When will you learn yours? Obsolete sound card
collection anyone?

Here's a news flash from the weird and wonderful world of sockpuppet wheel -
a collection is worthless if it includes obsolete items.

I'd rather spend it on records.

Even better is making your own recordings from live performances,
which I am working on as I type this.

I am sure it is not better.

Given all the other false things that you are sure of sockpuppet wheel.

Why are you talking about computers on RAO after whining about me
doing
it?

I wanted to see whether that Russian scientist named Pavlov was
right. I guess he was right about creatures like you, sockpuppet
wheel.

Oh, trolling. I guess this is what someone who cannot excel at
anything in life does with his life.

Actually there's no guessing because you are expert at not excelling at
anything you do with your life, right sockpuppet wheel?

Your life's lack of excellence is proven by your lack of willingness to
speak about it in terms of verifiable facts, sockpuppet wheel.
