      This is a list from 1989... I doubt if many of the younger people here even knoiw what DesqView is/was.

      WinErr 815: Insufficient Memory - Only 50,312,583 Bytes available.

      It might've started as a DosErr list in 89, but a computer with >50MB of ram would've been a godly system back then. OTOH given the history of these sort of things I wouldn't've been surprised if it also has a "not enough gigahertz error" as well.

              heh - I was triggered by the same. The age of the list does not match the amount of memory in any way. (Unless they mixed up memory and disk space)

              Personally, I love the idea that Raymond spends his nights posting bad regexs to mailing lists under the pseudonym of Jane Smith. He'd be like a super hero, only more nerdy and less useful. [Trevel]

                            I can believe it, the whole package for my computer was around $2,000 and it was refurbished, but did also come with a 17 inch monitor
