I agree with CameronDev, not so much on the capacity, but the bandwidth. At 100+ Gb, the Ryzen/Core platforms are really holding you back with their weak I/O.

If you need that much memory, you might be better off picking up a used Xeon/Epyc from Ebay. Their CPU speeds are lower, but the quad channel RAM could make up for it, depending on what you're trying to do.

Thanks. I was confused at first, wondering why there was no picture of their console on the website.

Classic episode; one of my favorite

I just downloaded and tried it. It's beautiful. Brings back so many memories.

That's amazing that they hit it on day one. I'm out of the loop. Where can we find out about this stuff in advance?

I don't, but I kind of wish I did. When I was growing up (in the 80s), my mom didn't do laundry on Sunday, and she didn't let us do it either. My dad, even though he was a reverend, didn't care, he just did laundry. She grew up AME(African Methodist Episcopal) and he was Baptist. I don't know if that had anything to do with it.

Her parents went even further. Sunday was a day for enjoying a nice home cooked meal after church and then listening to gospel on the radio (one of those big console radios with a record player). They didn't do anything else, no chores, housework, etc.

I miss it a lot.

Thanks. I think it's more funny than problematic, but I don't want to offend people. Plus I'm not Jewish (I'm black), so I can't just say "it's not a big deal, get over it."

I can relate. I grew up in Indiana. It's more of a basketball state, but same vibe.

I don't know what it is about football and churches; they love protecting bad people. I can't imagine what it'd be like playing football at a religious school.

I had to look that word up. I guess you're right, but I should probably wait a while for the dust to settle. Right now the Kanye thing is still fresh in everyone's minds.
