The Princess Bride Musical

    I would like to appeal for a minute's silence for my dear friend Inego. A humble Pentium II bought in late 1997, it arrived with 64Mb of RAM (I paid extra to double up from 32!) and Windows 95. Rapidly migrated to NT4, Inego was gradually beefed up with first one, then two extra disk drives; a replacement CDROM after the first one died from DRM (a CD wouldn't rip; I angrily pushed the tray back into the drive with alarming grinding noises, and it was never the same since.) The RAM went to 128Mb and then 192Mb. I abandoned the 33.6K modem I originally bought for it and it ended life with a 10/100 ethernet card, though I never got around to replacing the awful 8Mb STB Velocity video. In 98 I made my first GNU/Linux install on this box, Debian 2.0; at the end, it was running Mandrake 10.1.

    RIP, Inego. Your components will be recycled but your motherboard is gone forever.

    (*Oh, and the relevance - it was named after Inigo Montoya from TPB, which of course I misspelled as Inego.)

    You can't be. There's nothing to do with ipods in the article.

  3. Show in Austin (OT) by raga · · Score: 0, Offtopic
    OK, slightly off-topic, but since we are discussing a "musical", all you geeks in Austin have got to go see Vampyress.

    Great story (magic, violence, sex), with excellent music, lights, costume, sets ... (and perhaps, most importantly for /. readers, full frontal... :^)

    Yes, it is billed an "opera", but the music's cool and the libretto is in english and quite comprehensible!

    cheers- raga
