More real estate
This morning I installed a new video card into Amy’s 6400 Power Mac. The built-in video would only run millions of colors at 640×480, and let’s just say that Photoshop is a mess at that size.
Using a borrowed ATI Xclaim VR PCI card, Amy can now run 800×600 at millions, and now the monitor is the problem as it won’t run anything larger, though at 15″, i don’t think she’d really want to squint that much during the day.
This was another of my to-do list line items. It was nice to get that one done. In the long term section I added the line ‘Document Prague Trip’. After getting all the photos put on Kodak PhotoCD (it’s a bit of a waste: make sure you pick out exactly the photos you want transfered ahead of time.) I really should take advantage of the material. It would be a shame not to.
