After frying in this order:
1). 1 x 20G IBM drive, (replaced with a Quantum)
2). 1 x dual motherboard GA-6BXDS
3). 1 x Matrox G400
4). 1 x dual motherboard GA-6BXDS (the above, RMA-ed)
I think that it might've been the power supply, waay-way undersized (230W for a duallie monster with tons of SCSI devices inside).
Bottom line is: GET A REAL POWER SUPPLY!
Getting a cheap one is like asking for troubles.
The fun part comes especially when something croaks right after the warranty expired. I've been there!
Sure... no - wait a minute - it's not 2005 it's Q4 of 2005... oh no - damn - it's Q2 or most probably Q3 or 2006. OOps! it was actually Q4 of 2006 but we had to recall all the chips because of a nasty bug - amazingly similar to "F00F" one.
Please excuse us and oh - by the way - did we tell you that we finally released P]II[ yesterday?!
Thanks but no thanks... You can keep your browser and I'll have my Netscape 4.76. Which happens to work juuust fine (for some values of "fine")
I don't have much of a bandwidth to waste with crap and I'm already too tired about spam. Getting it willingly is not something I'd do even if I was drunk.
On the other hand - you can get the names for the sites it uses to get the ads and map them in your/etc/hosts as aliases to 127.0.0.1 - and there - you're done - I know that because my/etc/hosts has some nice aliases to a bunch of sites with ads!:)
Heh - Perl - it isn't called for nothing "the Swiss Army Knife" of the sysadmin.
I was using first shell-scripting (and I still do - for very small jobs) but once I've seen the light - well - my whole existence changed. I may not write very legible code (by the letter of the book/man/info) - but I'm slowly getting there.

Nope - nothing "great" but "quantum":) - still rather close to the reality:) Quantum Dot-Coms:)

Naah... if one gives the right answer (which I don't believe it will happen from the first person) move onto the next one... though I hardly think he'll have to look much time for an idiot - US are full of them:) and they have some proportions - you can't miss one

Wouldn't they like it? oooh - they'd love it. after all it would only give them more arguments to say "See - out OS is better - who do you call when everything is falling apart?"
They all seem oblivious to one thing - it is the nature of things to evolve and branch - Darwin was right!:) Survival of the fittest!

Hey - look on the bright side - Engineer-in-a-Box 6.0 will know how to read email :)
And in one of the future versions - a dancing paperclip will be introduced.
You mean a stained skirt? :) or the cigar? or a stained cigar? :)

Ermm ... I guess ASP and JS/VBS qualifies you for the title of "webmonkey"... good luck with your new career path^H^H^H^Hbranch.
I still have to find the bloody utility of JS and VBS - aside the unofficial one - to crash the browsers.

That's what we really needed - after what Sun did, a large array of quantum dot-com s

Hah!
Besides - time's young yet!

Hehee .. if that thing's still working. Good ole' discrete electronics don't fail as much as Intel's processors! :)

Well-well-well! Good for you Intel! :) :) I knew that! :)

You never cease to amaze me! and I can say you never let me down!
Oh - and BTW - the mushroom biz stays on (for the moment)
