Completely off even this topic - David, you remember those mobos you
gave me in the late 90s, just when Harry Potter had first come out
(your
wife was reading it in the car at the time). Well, as of last contact
in
april they were still (a) a firewall and (b) a modest server, though
feeling a bit stunned with a pair of 120gb disks attached to it via an
ata/133 raid card.

Yes, remember them well. One was an AMD 486 DX100, replaced by the AMD K6/400 I built, which went to a well deserved cause on Saturday. I had more fun with the former than any other combo since. Capture it for me if it is ever retired. The board and CPU were one of those Scan.Co bargain bundles of the week (free cooling fan) that used to be advertised in the Micro-Mart. 'Twas a bargain indeed by he sound of it :)


Largest disk at the time they were made was what? 4gb?

Way beyond my means in those days :(
