Comment Easy way or fun way? (Score 1) 466

Easy way? What borcharc said. Just get an adapter like this one (http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/151451123963?lpid=82&chn=ps), pop the drive out, and you'll be good. If you'd like to have some fun, there's a few ways to do that too. I used to have to drag files off of my old ThinkPad 760c all the time. I had the 760 running Windows 95, though, which made things a little easier... For you, you can use INTERLNK with DOSBox on the XP machine (parallel or serial passthroughs for DOSBox can be set up with these DOSBox files- http://home.arcor.de/h-a-l-900.... You can find INTERLNK for use with DOSBox or your 3.1 machine if it's missing here- http://www.kime.net/directcc/d...)

There's another way I found, using RAS, that I never used because I found it to be a bit complicated. If you'd like to play around with network shares in Windows 3.1, you're in for a treat! This page can show you how. http://www.kime.net/directcc/d...

For any of this to work, you'll need either a serial or parallel cable. You'll also need a modicum of patience, which is something I do not possess. That's why my 760 is currently functioning as a stand for the monitor attached to my Y580. Happy trails!

GNOME 3.8 Released Featuring New "Classic" Mode 267

Hot on the heels of the Gtk+ 3.8 release comes GNOME 3.8. There are a few general UI improvements, but the highlight for many is the new Classic mode that replaces fallback. Instead of using code based on the old GNOME panel, Classic emulates the feel of GNOME 2 through Shell extensions (just like Linux Mint's Cinnamon interface). From the release notes: "Classic mode is a new feature for those people who prefer a more traditional desktop experience. Built entirely from GNOME 3 technologies, it adds a number of features such as an application menu, a places menu and a window switcher along the bottom of the screen. Each of these features can be used individually or in combination with other GNOME extensions."
