FireWire is fast General, 4 star USA 1559 Posts	Posted - 16 Mar 2002 : 23:11:52 well...not much else to say..spelling/grammatical errors corrected...some teeny-tiny layout adjustments... oh yeah...changed all "68k" to "68K"...if I am mistaken and the lower-case version is proper, somebody please let me know... well basically the site just looks prettier...more content shall be on the way (including forum topic introductions...) edit: almost forgot...added a couple new links as well and fixed the Apple links (grrr...they removed vintage Apple Spec and 75% of the user manuals...grrrr) If anybody has any links which I have missed, puh-leeze let me know. -------------------- Spellcheck/Grammar Bandit and beholder of: -the Quadra/Centris Stick of Justice™ -the HTML Keyboard of Greater Knowledge™ -Compact Mac Wand of Power with Shocking Flyback Transformer Tip™ -------------------- Edited by - FireWire is fast on 16 Mar 2002 23:16:03

Another comment from the peanut gallery...you know - it's mighty hard to try to maintain 2 sites (well...make that 1, I gave up on my personal site a while ago) and be a highschool student...this is the first time i've been able to do anything in a long time...but now spring break is here, so I have more 68K time... quote: but "68k" was prettier than "68K" IMHO I agree...but I'd rather be ugly than incorrect -------------------- Spellcheck/Grammar Bandit and beholder of: -the Quadra/Centris Stick of Justice™ -the HTML Keyboard of Greater Knowledge™ -Compact Mac Wand of Power with Shocking Flyback Transformer Tip™ -------------------- Edited by - FireWire is fast on 17 Mar 2002 22:56:49

They say they're coming soon, but I don't see why we should have to wait this long. How hard is it to move a few pages around? Well, to everymac we go...but, oh, no! I need to look up the vram configurations for the Q800! I only know the 512k options and the 1 meg options...what about 768k?

I've lots of (freeware) software to add if you do.... (and some software of more dubious origins) 68k MLA ParaMedic Edited by - Flash on 18 Mar 2002 02:28:43
amanda00 New Member USA 71 Posts	Posted - 18 Mar 2002 : 09:40:09 I guess you're right, Fire Man. The banner at the top of the forums still says "68k," though. peace out, <3 AMANDA <3

Marchie Chaplain USA 911 Posts	Posted - 18 Mar 2002 : 09:47:28 Sorry to break it to you... the lowercase k is correct. 68k implies 68"thousand", 1000 being a metric kilo. The Metric system uses the lowercase k for kilo, and the uppercase K for Kelvin. SO unles this is the 68 Degrees Kelvin Macintosh Liberation Army, the lowercase is appripriate. In Computer Science, a kilo is always 1024, being a binary power, but that's obviously not what's going on here. Regardless, a kilobit is kb (your modem speed), kiloByte is kB (the amount of space your porm collection uses on your hard drive, although some may want to uses GigiBytes or GigaBytes for this), and some of the chips on your mobo are measured in kiloHertz kHz. ~Marchie PS: 68 Degrees Kelvin is 341.15 Celcius, or 646 Fahrenheit. If your processor ever get that hot, you're screwed.

If your processor ever get that hot, you're screwed. Kelvin doesn't have degrees does it - it's just 68 Kelvin... and 0 Kelvin is -273.15 (ish) degrees c... one kelvin = one degree C, so 68 Kelvin should be -273.15 + 68 = -205 degrees C which is kinda superconducting. I knew there was a reason 040's were ceramic dana (and congrats 'manda on the greenstar. woooo)

amanda00 New Member USA 71 Posts	Posted - 19 Mar 2002 : 10:30:04 no, to go from Celcius to Kelvin, you ADD 273.15, not subtract... but either way, the small k is correct Edited by - amanda00 on 19 Mar 2002 10:31:13

Had she been describing the conversion process the presentation of the standardized process as you expressed it would be a far more elegant approach. huh? wtf? well it made sense to me when i started typing anyway! you're both right, but you're just talking about different things! jt
