diagrams, and specs?

Hey guys,

Just wondering where i can find specs such as :

Engine length, width, height
Length between engine mounts
Angles, etc. etc.

Maybe even some diagrams (wire diagrams, stuff like that)

I just need as many specs as i can dimensions wise

I dont know how to explain what im looking for that well.

Sorry if i confuse anyone

Thanks

Re boot your computer, and then Install Linux!!

Problem Solved

Oh the other thing you might want to try is to Re-Install Adobe acrobat reader. Some times the browser plug in can go wackey.

Or down load the files and then open them through acrobat reader propper, like by opening the program, and then acutually using the file menue and stuff.

somethimes that helps.

But your best bet is to replace M$ Windoez with your favorite falvor of Linux

Ha. You already started one.

I love my OS X. Not open, not free, but everything works the first time.

As far as the diagrams and specs go, check the FAQ. There's links to sites with specs. My favorite is www.iluvmyrx7.com

Soon to double the RAM to 512 MB, Undecided if the glow in the dark keyboard will be installed. Also has External 40GB salvaged from my old Dell laptop... (R.I.P.)

FreeBSD 4.9 RELEASE on the router. (Drool factor 0.3...) Pentium 90, 48 MB RAM, 4 GB drive, CD-ROM, Three 3Com 10/100 NIC's, ISA Video. Custom Kernel with IPFW integrated. Locked down like a ****...

Soon to come, Athlon XP 2600+, New Video card, either ATI Radeon 9600 Pro or GeForce 4Ti 4800 either with 128MB DDR RAM (Everything works right the first time on this box.)

Soon to come:

Ya he did OSX 10.3

Ya see what he is not seeing is that the guy with the computer problme alreadys has a computer with Intel based archatecture so OSX is not realy an option.

See all that matters IMHO is that there is one less computor INFECTED with the M$ virus. I could relly care less what is being run, as long as it is not an M$ product...

If you accept the highest drool factor as his vote.

Agreed. Most people will not just dump their wintel boxes just because somebody says M$FT sux.

Agreed, too. That's why I gave my kids a PC loaded with Red Hat. Now one of them is writing perl and python programs. Woo hoo!

Nah... Drool Factor was how much I paid for it... ANd how many people are pissed at me cause they want one.

I don't believe MSFT sucks... I've never had terrible problems with Windows... Although it is innefficient... I think it's easy to use and has much hardware and software support... Therefore, it's most popular and runs the latest hardware and software... Hence it's ont he game box...

BSD however hard it is to use, has the stability of a damn rock... It runs my router, as stated above... (That was actually my FIRST kernel compile... I'm so proud of myself. I rebuilt it last week.) I'ma use it for the hardcore stuff like servers...

OS X, has a nice GUI like Windows, Stable behind the scenes because it's based off BSD... It's the best of both worlds, hence it runs my mainly used machine.

Cool. I don't have a Powerbook but I do have a 700 MHz iBook with 384MB, 20GB & combo drive ($500 used) and a Beige G3 with processor upgrade, 512MB and 40 GB drive. All I had to pay for was the mouse. I'm very impressed by OS X. Much more stable than Windows and the BSD roots mean I can do the CLI stuff that I like.

I *have* had horrible problems with Windows. Sometimes hard to tell whether it's the h/w or the s/w, but I used to create the OS and app builds for a company I worked for, we had no end of problems getting Win 95 and Win NT builds stable on desktops. Now I know XP and Win 2K are better, but neither is as smoothly running as my OS X and Linux boxes.

I'm not a gamer, so the latest and greatest hardware/driver issues are moot to me.

And you're proud of the fact that you ripped off software - taking money out of someone's mouth? Sure, it's not as bad of a hit as game companies take when their games are pirated, but you basically just took money out of someone's pocket.

</rant>

Photoshop Elements is very reasonably priced if you're serious about entering into the world of graphics. Otheriwse, Gimp is free - and your daddy.

XP is teh ghey...

I built my Game box last year and decided to try XP out on it... So I installed it and applied the no registration crack... Good enough... Then I decided to update to SP1... Mind you, I had not installed any other software to cause conflicts...

Damn thing crashed on boot, said my hard drive was unreadable, gave me RAM errors... All sorts of problems...

2k, runnin fine.
