941 via I-64. 668 to Johnson City. According to Google Maps. A two day trip to
Virginia. One day to Tennessee.

When it arrived the hard drive sounded like a small batch cement mixer. So, I
trotted out to my local confuser recycler and picked up a 60 gigabyte drive ...
and a memory stick that let me max out the RAM.
Works well with the Xandros version of Linux - which doesn't mind the (now)
snail-like 300 mhz processor.

I may pass it along to some needy person soon as I now have this new ASUS
netbook which is even smaller and lighter and fills the function of the Stinker
very well indeed. Plus, the ASUS has several USB/2 ports which makes it very
easy to find peripherals (should I need such). Much easier than trying to
locate a, say, optical drive at a reasonable price which will plug into the
proprietary IBM interface.

And the ASUS has wireless built in ... hadda get a wireless card for the IBM -
which also works in the newer model with the W2k on it.

      Title: Jack Daniel's Tennessee Whiskey Chicken
 Categories: Poultry, Booze, Sauces
      Yield: 4 servings
 
      2    (2 lb ea) fryers; in serving
           - pieces
      1 c  Jack Daniel's Whiskey
           Salt & black pepper

MMMMM-----------------------WHISKEY SAUCE---------------------------
      1 lb White mushrooms; sliced
      6    Green onions; chopped
      2 tb Butter
      2 oz Jack Daniel's Whiskey
      2 c  Brown sauce *
 
  Have the butcher split two small fryers or if you
  prefer, buy cut-up chicken pieces. Place the chicken
  in a shallow pan and douse with whiskey. Sprinkle salt
  and pepper over the pieces; marinate for 2 hours. Soak
  some wood chips (Jack Daniel's Barrel chips) in water
  if you're using regular wood chips, I'd suggest soaking
  them in whiskey.

  While the chips are soaking, build a charcoal fire in
  your barbecue grill. Use the wood chips in your grill
  to create a good smoking fire. Broil the fryers over
  the pit until well cooked.

  Serve with whiskey sauce.

  FOR WHISKEY SAUCE: Saute the mushrooms and green onion
  in butter until tender. Add whiskey and brown sauce and
  simmer until flavors have blended and the alcohol has
  evaporated. Keep warm until serving time.

  * BROWN SAUCE - To make Brown Sauce; thicken beef bouillon
  with cornstarch or roux. Or better yet, make it from
  scratch.
