[ale] quick, simple backup

[Jerry Yu]

	besides the Vendor's site, you can alwasy check Micron's memory 
upgrade site at http://www.crucial.com. You can find memory type based on 
M/B or computer models. 
	2nd, M/B manual may just be vaporware. I bought a AX5 m/b from 
ABIT in '97. It claimed to support 256M, however, I can't get beyond 96M 
using SDRAM (DIMM). After calls after calls, Abit rep finally  confirmed 
their claim was still vaporware and asked me to go away :-(
	BIOS upgrade from the M/B vendor may fix it too.

#Shredding CD's boggles my mind...... These things are more prolific than

#environmentally friendly thing to do (While barely increasing the
#surface area) that makes the data absolutely unrecoverable (Well, with
#the exception of maybe government spooks and such...) is to rub it with
#80 grain sand paper on the data side for about 5 or 10 seconds. After
#that, it is possible it would permanently hoark the CD player if someone

#The fact of the matter is (IMHO), if the data is that sensitive, having
#a copy that exists that is THAT portable is not wise. The arguement 
#that tapes are this portable but are put into lock boxes or vaults and
#upon EOF, they are magnetically erased or blanked in a drive does not
#hold water. Aptek, Inc. in Silver Spring Maryland makes tools for doing
#data recovery like this from tapes (And other media...) that are
#destroyed in this manner. They also make tools from damaged CD's. The
#government is their primary customer.
