...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.
If it wasn't for all of the problems with Vista, I would never have gone
to a Mac.
I avoided that by never running Vista. I stayed away from XP until SP2
when they got most of the bugs worked out but six of my nine running
machines are still on W/98 SE.

I learned many years ago in the mainframe business, the smart money is
always running two or three year old software. Pioneers catch all the
arrows.

But I'm quite an important part of Microsoft's R&D and testing programs,
so I had to use it. I've now left them and teamed up with Apple.

Apple agreed to double what Microsoft was paying me to solve their
software problems.

I should probably dig up all of my old hardware and software and post
what I have here. I just don't think it would make me feel important
like it does Harry the fat ass.
