Energy!

I had always wondered why the Hamburg radio station Energy Hamburg (formerly "Energy 97.1") had a logo with the letters "NRJ"... "NRG" I would have understood, but "NRJ"? Was this logo created by someone who had no real grasp of the English pronunciations of the letters of the alphabet?

Apparently, the catch was that the letters aren't supposed to be read in English but rather in French, which gives NRJ = énergie, since NRJ (Nouvelle Radio Jeunesse) is a French group.

Memory

Just ordered more memory, with the blessing of my wife. Woot.

Hopefully the Sims will be faster now, with less disk thrashing and churning.

(Upgrading from 512 MB to 1.5 GB.)

The model computer I have (which I couldn't accurately determine, but may be "MD 8088" or "PC MT 6") wasn't on their website under "Medion", but I picked "MD 8080", which seems to match what Medion says about memory expansion (viz., 4096 MB total memory, PC 3200 DDR). So hopefully what I ordered (1 GB kit/512MB x 2, 184-pinn DIMM "Upgrade for a Medion MD8080 System") will fit. Two modules because apparently the memory must be installed in pairs.
