Will you discribe it? Do you have a pic? [21:14] <_brain_> yep, it's heaps of help. [21:14] <_brain_> I don't have a pic, but I'm open for ?s [21:14] yea, i was going for cost-effectiveness this time...

[21:16] thx [21:17] Is that different from the one you have pictured on your webpage, al? [21:17] that's what I'd like to find out :) [21:20] <_brain_> Well, it looks like a std 128, to be honest. [21:20] <_brain_> The only thing I can see diff is a big orange FCC warning sticker on the back. [21:20] <_brain_> And FABowen in permanent marker on the back [21:21] <_brain_> I assume it's a last rev of the board prior to production [21:21] what drive?

[21:23] <_brain_> Hmm, I heard about a proto 128 flat with a 3.5, but not a D. [21:24] al, have you asked Haynie about it? [21:24] That one looked more like a modded A1000 case. [21:25] it's freaky cool. :) [21:25] I don't know Haynie. Who is he/she? [21:25] well, once I get this EPROM programmer, I'm gonna start making "backups" of a bunch of stuff.

[21:37] cuz if yer taking the forever-drive-across-PA, then you'll be much further south than I :) [21:37] * _1541 (~Javauser@MTLXPQAK-1177996078.sdsl.bell.ca) Quit (Quit: Leaving) [21:37] I don't know, Beeman.

[21:38] Robert: very relieved to read your post on Homestead :) [21:39] I'm relieved that I could write it. :-) [21:39] What happen [21:39] woohoo !!! [21:39] Thanks anyway. :-) [21:40] O.K., it was pericarditis... post-viral inflammation of the sac around the heart. Kind of like a faux heart attack. [21:40] I'm afraid one of these days that's gonna happen to me, as much as I like to run around [21:40] had a scare 20 years ago at Disney [21:41] Nah, Snog. Don't say that. Just hope the virus lays dormant and doesn't become active. [21:41] Beeman: read: http://lists.videocam.net.au/pipermail/homestead/2007-April/012996.html [21:41] what happened, Snog? [21:41] I was diagnosed by the nurse as "possible heat exhaustion" [21:41] ok Al [21:41] time for some SID background music [21:42] Kind of like shingles. The virus that causes chicken pox can reactiviate itself when you are an adult, thus causing shingles. [21:42] I got somehow from the Pirates of the Carribean attraction to the Crystal Palace Nurse station on my own power [21:42] Ick! I've had heat sickness. [21:42] I don't remember "seeing" the nurse but talking with her and answering her questions. [21:43] I asked to use one of the cots to relax until I felt better [21:44] I was there for a couple hours, drove my self back to where I was staying in Orlando [21:44] You are lucky that you didn't pass out right there in the middle of the attraction. [21:45] Ya, had the attraction not have been air conditioned, I probably would have [21:45] Was the nurse attractive?

[21:46] When I got to the hospital in Portland, I couldn't believe how many beautiful female doctors there were in the emergency room! [21:46] I never really saw her face when I got there [21:46] RobertB, see, you found a plus side to yer experience :) [21:47] Yes, a very plus side. However, when I got there, they took off my glasses right away and they were fuzzily beautiful. ;-) [21:47] wife coming [21:48] those are the best kind! :) [21:48] ahhhhh [21:48] for Robert B [21:48] "can't see you, please get closer" [21:48] Very interesting to have them poke and prod you (sometimes 2 at a time).
