I remember the first 8x10 that I scanned at 300 DPI. To be accurate is is PPI but so what. Anyway it opened in PhotoStyler (the first photo editor for PCs) as a vertical. I clicked rotate just to make it a horizontal. It took over 12 hours. That is when I told the boss we HAD to have more RAM on the computer. It was a couple of grand to put a RAM extension board and 2 MEGS of RAM in there to get it to 4 MB. Then it could rotate in only 45 minutes. PhotoStyler was bought by Adobe and much of the interface was used in the new Photoshop.
Today I will start gutting the old computer of its good parts. The GeForce GTX 1080 Ti with 16 Gig of video ram will be ripped out and transplanted and added to the new system. I will remove all the various storage drives in it, and replace all with the 5 10 TB drives to make the new RAID 5 box.
Greedy mean old boss has me down at the office working on Sunday morning! I may have to drink one of his prized Erdinger beers with dinner tonight.
