UPDATES
Ok, so the memory, hard drive, keyboard and mouse are all here, and last night Scott a fine freak in his own right, helped me get OS X loaded up on the G3. The Tower itself has a lot of, well, character. The back handle is cracked, and it looks as if the guys at Los Alamos, may have been playing kickball with it before they sent it to auction. Still after a minor hiccup - not realizing that a Western Digital Hard Drive, on it's own IDE channel, with no slave drive, does not need a jumper - We got X up and running. I took it home, and hooked it up to my DSL router, and fired it up. Sweeeeet If you have the means, just bite the damn bullet, and show Billy Gates what you think of him and his screwed up company, by buying from his oldest competitor. Now I'm not a Steve Jobs worshiper by any means. But I decided that I prefered supporting a Meglomaniac as opposed to a lying thief, which if you didn't follow the Antitrust trial of Microsoft, is pretty much what Gates showed himself to be. Again, I will happily keep my current Windows boxes up and running, but I see no migration to WinXP anytime soon, nay ever.
I really need to make my hotel arrangements for Daytona Beach. It will be a major pain in the ass. As I have to fly into Orlando and take a shuttle van to Daytona, which is around 45min to an hour away. Because my flight back to Albuquerque is so early, I really need to get back to Orlando the night before, which means booking 2 different hotels for a 3 day stay. Pain in the ass...
Did you know that Orlando Airport is the test site for advanced X-ray machines that can see through your clothing, but not your skin? Seriously. This irritates the hell out of me for a number of reasons, not the least of which is I don't think that the Feds have any justification of looking under my skivvies without my permission. I'm tempted to take some Viagra prior to going through their screening, just so they have something to look at, the invasive bastards. -end rant
Off to Albuquerque this weekend. Shopping for home improvements. I'm not complaining. I find that home ownership is a quick way to making you suddenly care about latex paint, lighting fixtures, and sinks. We're gonna gut the kitchen sometime in the next 6-9 months so it's research time....
go and tell me all about it
