Hello fellow Calmirians :) Today I turned off network DDE and was very pleased to find a number of annoying pauses during Windows' startup shortened considerably. In addition, I haven't experienced any "Invalid floating point operation" messages when Netscape loads a newsgroup SNM file any longer, but this may also be related to the hard drive having been DEFRAGged. (BTW those of you using Win95/98 for this - you should "borrow" a defrag.exe file from Windoze ME, since it's at least twice as fast as the older versions. This is about the only useful improvement in ME, IMO...) Still waiting for my new graphics card (ELSA WINNER 2000PRO/X-8, new in box :) to come - I'm curious how it performs... Let's hope the S3 968 doesn't give trouble because of its framebuffer size bug (it says it needs a 32 MB framebuffer but uses 64 megs).
