There you go. =8^) I did suggest checking old GWNs for conference exhibit |
| 14 |
stories. Sure enough! |

I was looking at that 4-way with 4-way plugin board thing, and thinking |
| 17 |
about dual-cores on it, and my mouth was watering! That would be |
| 18 |
seriously fun to play with! =8^) OTOH, how slow my old 2-way single-core |
| 19 |
with 8 gigs of RAM and a 4-disk RAID-6 desktop/workstation would seem |
| 20 |
afterward! =8^( I AM looking forward to the dual-core upgrade, later this |
| 21 |
year, however. =8^) |
