by @ Saturday, May 31st, 2008. Filed under Technology & Blogging

The other day I needed information about my laptop memory, processor speed, etc.  (to sign up for Protonic, which is free tech support).  I knew there was a simple command to help locate this information, but I hadn’t used it for so long I couldn’t remember what it was, and had to look it up.  […]
