....it was painful, and I'm already feeling a sense of loss...

....but I managed to gather up 25 years of pieces and parts from building
and futzing around with PC's, going all the way back to my Eagle 8086,
pack 'em into a couple of boxes, and send them off to a brother-in-law,
who *is* still messing around with PCs.

We've got one Windows-running PC left in the house, my wife's laptop,
and my server, which runs on Windows Server 2003. I wouldn't know how to
"fix" the laptop, and about all I could do with the server is pop in
more drives.

Now, I'm down to my Macbook Pro...waiting on apple to resolve some
issues with the new iMacs.
