A New Computer

Lashed out and spent some of Kevin's money on a new computer.

A GA-MA78GM-S2H Motherboard and AMD Dual Core 5200 CPU.

4 GBytes of memory, but surprised to see the video took 500 MBytes of this.

It has a number of front panel facilities, but haven't figured out what they are yet. Couple of slots look like USB thinggies, but my memsticks only work in the back USB slots

It is in an Antek case, quiet as a mouse! Oh, yes, an LCD monitor to boot!

 

Ooops - Missed it

The world's digit-obsessed UNIX lovers are just minutes away from the celebration of lifetime. At 11:31:30pm UTC time today, the POSIX clock reaches 1234567890 seconds.... so said the newsfeed. But I forgot we were on daylight saving time.

<sigh>

never again
