Can old computer software be a collectors item?

by

I was in the basement yesterday sorting through the many items that are stored down there and I discovered that I had a stash of old software! There’s some really old software there, I wonder if any of the old items could even be considered collectors items? Now wouldn’t that be funny?

I think I might make a list of all the old software and perhaps post it as kind of a pc software inventory list just to show you how old some of this stuff really is!

I think some of it dates back to when we got our first computer in 1991. Do you remember floppy disks? Yeah, well I’ve got old Windows 3.1 floppy disks! Tell me that’s not a collectors item.





Interchangable memory

by

One of my friends has a Dell computer and she was telling me that she wanted to increase her computers memory but she was having a hard time getting Dell Memory for her computer.

I still find it funny sometimes when people assume that they must stick with a brand name, or the exact brand name of their product, when getting accessories or in this case improving their computers capacity.

I explained to her that as long as she got the same type of memory it didn’t matter if it was made by Dell. Of course you also have to get the same size, so if she had one 256K memory then she’d have to get another of the same size other wise she might run into trouble.

I just thought I’d post about this in case others were under the same assumption that you always have to buy the product by the same manufacturer.

Another way to promote your website

by

I was just thinking the other day that I’m going to get some business cards made up so that I can promote my websites.

I used to have cards printed out that listed my exotic pets websites so that when I’d go into a pet store that sold exotic pets I could hand out my cards to customers that I met in the store that wanted to learn more about their potential new pets care.

Now that I have a ton of blogs I might as well do something similar with business cards. It would certainly be easier to hand out a card than wait for someone to find a pen so that they could write down your website address now wouldn’t it?

Do you have business cards with your blog or website address printed on it? If so, has it helped you promote your site in any way?
