A cheap way to get more memory: |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
o wipe a USB key clean (back it up though!) |
| 14 |
o mkspwap /dev/sda1 or whereever your usb memory stick is |
| 15 |
o swapon all |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
those commands might not be totally right, but they're a start (it's |
| 18 |
been a while) |

Something I've been known to do is leave it in the fridge. It works, |
| 24 |
and that's all the matters, right? |

Just make sure you don't leave it in there too long next to something |
| 27 |
that spoils easily. I also find it's somehow good for your battery. I |
| 28 |
left my cell phone in the fridge overnight once and the battery somehow |
| 29 |
found itself capable of carrying more load than before. |

If you don't want to risk it, just plug you pc in and remove the battery |
| 32 |
before you put it in the fridge. You may want to consider bocking off |
| 33 |
fan openings to prevent condensation if you're fridge has a habit of |
| 34 |
nasty condensation. |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
DO NOT STICK IT IN THE FREEZER! That has a tendency to shrink the |
| 37 |
hardware and make it brittle. I also don't want to find out (even |
| 38 |
vicariously) what it'll do to a screen. |
