I told you about it before, but I am too excited for words. Here’s something better than human speech…
More pictures and a Museum entry as time allows…

Let the returns begin
I have started the RMA process for the motherboard in The-Beast. Hopefully, Gigabyte won’t take their sweet time getting the board back to me. In the interim, good old Lappy Z81D is my primary computer.
Lappy does a good job, so I should be okay until the new board comes in.
In other news, I cleaned out my computer room today, got rid of an old case, a slew of old boxes and a few old optical drives. I also threw a couple of dead UPS units out into the hall until the recycling center opens again, then I can get them recycled.
I have an opportunity to purchase a fully operational Kaypro I with CP/M and the original OS boot discs, keyboard, cables and everything. We shall see how that goes… if it even goes at all.
Idle time…
I really haven’t posted anything in a long time. Nothing really new has been happening in the tech world. Lets see:
Windows Vista does not have a repair install in the standard sense. You can do a new installation without formatting the machine, but you will always have to reinstall your applications, and the old program files and user folders are dropped into a folder called windows.old. Teh suck.
The Computer Museum is pretty much done. Just need to take some more pictures and clean it up a bit.
Ideas for SPID are floating through my head, but nothing has really gotten done there.
Computer Museum Wiki in progress..
Spent the rear-end of my night tonight persuading MediaWiki to install multiple instances under the same code-base on my server, and I finally got it working. The reason: Computer Museum. It’s technically up right now, but there isn’t any data in there. I shall leave that for another day…
