Finding amount of resources left?

14 years ago

I know that's not the right question, but forgot how to find how much resources I have left on my computer, had lots to start, want to check and see how much more I have left, and know it's a simple task, but just don't do it often, so hafta come and ask someone else.

I am running XP, and OE, lots of memory, but forgot that too, so need help badly here folks, I need to write this stuff down, and then I won't have to pester anyone.

As I have uploaded pics to Photobucket, and hope to delete them, want to see how much resources I pick up after deletions.

Thanks a heap people, you are always so kind, and non judgemental.

Hi

Double click the MYCOMPUTER icon on the desktop or in the start menu, put you mouse over "Local Disk" a little window will open and give the amount of hard drive space and free space.

there are some very good programs that are free that will give you a wealth of info about your pc, belarc is one of the best I advise everyone run it occasionally and keep a print out for each pc should they ever need it.

another newer one that will do exactly what you are wanting is speccy by the same people that give us CCleaner and Recuva, Piriform is a trustworthy company. this program is still in beta but it is a public release beta so from what I have heard is quite safe to use. Take a look at it.

Resources for weed identification?
Q
Comments (4)
I can ususally find a picture of what I want to identify by going to Google Images and just keying in ~ Nevada weeds ~. Now admittedly all the plants in Nevada probably don't amount as many different kinds as some of you have on your back lot but nevertheless and image search on your state and weeds might work. There really are a lot of pictures out there.

Best resources for looking up marks on china?

Tricia, do share pictures of your cupboards!! They sound positively wonderful! This is the cliff notes version of the history of the house and its contents. It was built circa 1880-1885 by one of the more prominent families in the town (not the Rockefellers by any stretch but they seemed to have done OK...the house is very high-quality in its construction). Since then, five generations of that family have lived there. The most recent resident passed away after a fairly long illness--for years prior to this, the house had been used mostly as a summer home. Her son and DIL live in Florida and went through the house after she passed away, but they took only items of sentimental value. He is the one who sold it to us, and he said at the time that they left this all behind for two main reasons: they've already got a fully furnished house and so would end up auctioning many pieces off, and they wanted it to stay with the house to the extent possible. Admirable, because the conservative auction estimate from the estate appraiser was in the tens of thousands. He certainly let us have it for far less than that, just because he wanted to see it cared for (which we do!). They're extremely nice people!! Linda C, the planks on the back are wide and do not have circular saw marks. The piece is now being used in our kitchen as a pantry of sorts, so I can't get pictures of the back, but I can tell you that the joinery is very nicely done. No big suprise, since the family apparently knew and employed fine craftsmen to build the house--it's my guess that one of them may have built this as well. I had hoped to find someone's name scribbled in it somewhere....a "Kilroy was here" type of ID. No such luck, at least not that I can find. More pictures will be coming as soon as I can upload them to my hosting service. :)

Amount of Protein in Dog Food\
Q

I travelled up the Oregon Coast not long ago. Being a sailor I was poking around some of the yacht harbors and such and found a grated area near where the fishing boats were docked. I poked around looking for things to photograph, and found a HUGE pile of fish remains with flies buzzing around and slime coming from the bottom. I asked the fisherman what the pile was being used for, since I am also a gardener I figured the remains would be used for that. He said they sell to pet food companies. I will never forget that. So - that is what I mean by junk fish. As far as human grade food - I dont mean a nice piece of filet mignon, although I am certain your dog would love that. I mean food that is not just extras body parts thrown in a heated bin and made into a soup and processed into dog food. As far as human grade food Im talking about meat which is regularly tested for pesticides, herbicides, and other contaminants. As far as high protein goes, I know from working at a vet that you add dog biscuits or something crunchy - not for the teeth of the dogs but to help them process all that meat, I know high protein diets can slow the digestive process and I also know that dogs and other wild animals supplement their diet naturally ie:BARF type diets. Even zoo's give their charges food they would not normally get in the wild, cantelope and watermelon to bears and tigers etc....Those are my concerns, that any pet get a good quality food and not junk food, and that food is tested for contaminants. Good luck with whatever you choose to do.

American groom/Japanese bride--need good resources for advice
Q
Comments (4)
Since your family is from a different culture, I suspect you will be given wide lattitute and not be expected to behave as if you were Japanese. I would suggest reading up on Japanese customs and wedding traditions so you know what they are -- but not necessarily trying to follow all of them. Ask your DIL-to-be and her mother for advice, and defer to as much of it as you comfortably can, diplomatically explaining your reasons for those customs you can not embrace. For example, the offer to rent kimono is generous and kind, but there are many traditions that go along with wearing kimono, and you may inadvertently do something offensive or foolish that would not stand out or offend if you were dressed in Western dress. Obscure (to Americans) things like wrapping right over left or the proper number of layers of undergarments. Also, you both would probably need to be 'professionally dressed' for the event, which may be uncomfortable for you. Giving money as a wedding gift is a widespread tradition among Asian (and many other) cultures, and one you should probably not try to erradicate. You don't need to participate, as presumably, your cultural traditions will be given similar respect. You might also ask to include a select few American traditions -- perhaps throwing rice, stomping a wine glass or tossing a bouquet? Maybe mention the possibility to the bride, explain the reasons for the tradition -- but be prepared to acquiesse graciously if they're not particularly important to you. As for your expected financial contribution, if you can't find the information online, perhaps the Japanese Studies department at a university could help you. Or a library? Or a friend of Japanese descent? Or ask your son to ask the bride to be. Some direct questions can be embarassing, but surely far less so than doing the wrong thing. Your FDIL will want you to make a good impression on her parents, and should be willing to be "uncomfortably frank" to make this happen. Gift-giving is a very important ritual in Japan, and the gifts to and from the wedding couple would be, I imagine, rather MORE important than most other types of gifts. If there's one area where I'd be especially reluctant to break with Japanese tradition, this would probably be it. Get the 'low down' from your FDIL and her parents and explain to the American guests how it works so they will know what to expect and also not feel/appear foolish and ill-bred.

Zep when I think of resources I think of performance/usage like when I go to contl alt delete and look at usage, it's at 2% now. I think of the other as space I have for storage. When I had ME I was always having to reboot because of resources. Please explain the difference.

Your right amount of resources would most likely mean the amount of Random Access Memory (RAM) on the computer. I knew shaddy101 was looking for amount of Hard drive space left though. So there was a bit of word / Terminology / confusion going on.

I bet on the ME you had didn't have a lot of Resources (RAM) on it so as you use the computer RAM can get filled up. Rebooting clears the RAM Memory and it will run better after doing that for a while and fill up again this is mostly true with a low level of RAM Memory installed. We all should Reboot our computers once in a while especially those of us that do not turn off the machine at nite.

Best I can explain it..

Thank you very much. Terminology is a problem with me because I have no one to talk PC with me. It's the same with video games, I don't know the names of all the characters like my grand kids do, I had my own names for them and I sure got a lot of laughs.
That "thingy" or that "funny little man", etc..

zep, once again, you come thru for me, maime, I understand your reasoning there as well, I am struggling to learn things I should have learned when I first got my computer, instead, I just was content to email, and surf. Now, of course, I have more keyboard time, and WANT to learn more, and is harder, shudda, wudda, cudda, always part of my vocabulary.
Thanks again I knew it was clicking on the computer icon, but then what, that is my problem, gonna write this down, and raven, I have forgotten, I do have belarc hidden somewhere on this machine!!!!!!!!!!
thanks for reminding me!

Shaddy, I am glad someone understands my reasoning. Even I am having trouble with it. LOL

My reason right now could be that I have been inventory my movies and I have found out I have 450 some instead of 250 some. pulling my hair out here.
