Re: impossible statements
I'm going to agree with Alan here... you underestimate the power of infinity, Michael.
Also, take this example:
1/3 = .33333....
and 1/3+1/3+1/3 = 1
and .3333.... + .3333.... + .3333.... =...

Mike,
HP & Compaq are the same company, and I'd give it a 99.9% chance that the only differences between #1 and #3 on your list are cosmetic. In fact, I have a Compaq (Presario 2585) that is a...

Re: Using IFI Controller witout Operator System

EEPROM Lifetimes
As far as I know (not an expert by any means), most EEPROMs are good for at least a million write cycles. So don't go writing to it every cycle, but every second should be fine.

Re: How does Nationals work?
