DFI Super Socket 7. They're solid, and most of the current revs will clock a K6-2/3 to 600, so you've got quite a bit of expandability. Plus, they're inexpensive, feature 2X AGP, conveniently placed DIP switches, etc. Downside is you'll need DIMMS, as there are no SIMM slots.
Come now! Just because we haven't heard the 'Official Announcement' it doesn't make it a hoax.

What about the comedic value? I'm sure you got a kick out of that stunt he pulled at the Timberwolves game. (He had police unexpectedly 'escort' a referee who had made a questionable call and then debatably engaged in a profane display for the crowd) And how can you help but laugh at his acting in Predator after you've seen some of his less rehearsed political performances?

Using the +1 to inflate the previous posters score won't work. If the 'audience' has reparent on (I'm guessing 1/2 do), they'll only see your post. Second, unless they're browsing in nested mode (not the default), your 2 won't make the parent appear any higher up the list. It's usually better to just repost the data with your +1 and due credit.
I must thank you for your try, though. Moderators sometimes need a little, um, outside help.

That law was overturned. You can purchase all the kick-start, requires-4-D-batteries WonderWands(tm) you want to in Alabama. There was a similar screwup in Louisiana, where it is still legal to marry your 13-year old second-cousin. Go figure.

They played with the versioning scheme so that their first release of X11R6.4 would be Xfree 4.0.x.Thus, they moved the beta back one rev (3.9.x)
I interviewed for a job with the one of the federal law enforcement agencies, tech stuff and a little administration. I've got two low degrees, various MS, Novell, System 3000 and IBM certs, plus on-the-job in the exact area they were shopping for. The pay wasn't top notch, but the project sounded exciting and I was in for a change anyway, 'cuz I couldn't stand the assembly line programming job I had. They passed me in favor of some fellow with a big-name college marketing degree who hadn't touched a line of code in ten years.
Anyway, I ended up in my current position, which I would gladly do for less money, so I guess it worked out..
I've done it too. Short on cases, short on deskspace, wanted a statement. Drywall screws and six different PC mobos. It scares people when I cycle up that powerstrip and the fans whir, the drives spin up loudly, and LEDs scattered throughout light. I ran it as a PAPERS cluster for a while, but eventually I graduated to a full 6x Beowulf style cluster. It still powers up, runs, and I still occasionally use it whan I need a few extra dumb terms.
They do sell in volume. A fellow (owns a small build-to-spec company) I pointed to the site a while back ended up buying fifty-odd cases. You'd be surprised how much premium people are willing to pay to make their new Celeroff or K-sicks look like a G3.
Stripped Olivetti mini cases work well. I've got one fitted with 12 SCSI CDROMs, four IDE HDs and a single MFM/RLL full height 170. Granted, I had to install my own drive rails for the HDs and replace the single huge 250W supply with two small 300W'ers. I hear AS/400 cases work great too.
While in most cases Big Brother==Big Business, because as we all know cash==power. In this case it seems that government has just sided with a high $ industry group advocating privacy. They are not the purveyors of right, they just like to look like it from time to time.
What I really think the government is shopping for are CS grads who will work for them. By paying the tuition bill they're forcing them into years of government wages. I could make $70K minimum walking into any tech shop on the planet and slapping down my resume. If I walk into the government shop, they offer me thirty-five. The only people who would ever take the government job are the ones who have no merit to the public sector; been fired a dozen times, code sucks, couldn't refit an Alpha if their life depended on it, etc. (Of course, there are exceptions; Donald Becker, Mr. NetworkDriver, works for them.)
The federal government placed those individuals there intentionally. They're cheaper to employ, and they (the FAA) had a budget to meet.

The only thing I can see coming out of this 'grant' is more MCSE's, BS's, and AS's without a clue.

They did, up until the point the complexity of the machine made them useless to anyone without $20,000 in specialized equipment. I got schematics with my Apple IIe, and I was able to request them for the IIc I have.

I have two SS7 DFI MVBP3 p5v3c's, and haven't had a lick of trouble with them. AGP 2X mode works nicely as well.
