Hey James!

It landed previous here and I read it before this one.  Interesting but I am
not sure I am understanding it.  Offhand it looked like scsi is a winner other
then CD-ROM(s).  Did I read that right?

I like the sounds of all that!  Are we talking hot peppers or the standard
garden variety peppers?

Heh, heh.  Yeah I could have used one of those a few months back but today I am
more or less happy the way things worked out after deciding to get brutal
without the desired jack-hammer.  A sledge-hammer might be a reasonable
substitute in my particular circumstances.  :-)

Oh well.  Live and learn eh?

Me too.  I guess we'll see how long we can tread water but I ain't making any
promises to my duration.  I'll do my best though but I get tired out easily
these days so we'll see.

Which one looks best to you?  Overall the Utah one seems to work out well here.
 I forget the exact address offhand but could look it up if push comes to
shove.  Lately I have been distracted getting the 64-bit guy in sync with the
rest.  Looking good though ... so far.  :::knock on wood:::

The C3 guy could use a cleaning and upgrade but it can wait a tad longer.

Wireless?  We have a plan here for next week that might produce some gains on
that front.

Hm.  Maybe some shutters?

Interesting.  What's the motherboard got for chipsets?  I haven't seen too many
that managed to escape from the evil clutches of the nforce/nvidia blackhole,
or at least it looked like a blackhole when I looked at it.  As of yesterday
Paul (my neighbour) was still banging his head against the wall trying to get
glibc properly built.  Beats me why that is giving him grief and he refuses to
listen to me so here we still are.  He still believes he can beat me at my own
game.  :-)

Cool.  Are we having fun yet?

Life is good,
