And there's the problem. Really! You should have AT LEAST 3 additional
spare systems lying around. OK. so 2 of them are dumpster hauls and
one is so old even the SWMBO thinks should be in a dumpster but you
just can't give it up because of a particular thing that box  had.
Like chipset XYZ that you got going by hand with a custom kernel. And
between the 3 clunkers there's no compatible parts.

Seriously, Jim. With a name like that, I'd expect better geek out of you.

:-)

You must have missed my last "Great Geek Giveaway".

Which I regret now that I've bought stuff again that I gave away.

Bring it ALL back! Please! Just don't tell my wife or I'm sleeping on
the street.

Every time you stop a school, you will have to build a jail. What you
gain at one end you lose at the other. It's like feeding a dog on his
own tail. It won't fatten the dog.
