Expecting accountability of government officials does not make me a liberal. But following this election, I'm still thinking about sneaking across the border, becoming an illegal alien, and getting a job as a short order cook at a coffee shop near Michael's house. I could have a little spending money, live the obscure and free life of a street person, and have plenty of old macs to tinker with as Michael discards them. (I bet you'd have to have a pretty stout cardboard box to sleep in as a street person in Canada.) In regard to powerwaves: ours have been more or less retired following our lightning strike earlier this year. Most had burnt ethernet ports, some had fried drives or other quirkiness. As of now, they are sitting in pile on my workbench, waiting for rehabilitation, reconstruction, or destruction. We now only have one powercomputing machine in use, a ptp that used to be the web server for newkirkherald.com and now is our circulation machine which keeps track of subscriptions and prints newspaper labels on an imagewriter II. You can't hook an imagewriter to the new G4s, one of which I am writing this on right now. I'm starting to like this G4 almost as much as I liked my powerwave. But what the hell do you do with 80 gigabytes of space? Also the keyboards tend to do a double-space when I hit the space bar ... annoying. Someday I may part out the powerwaves, but for now I'm recovering from the the ordeal of replacing all the lightning damaged equipment, and gradually learning about OS X (weird sh*t!) Happy New Year all powercomputing friends. And remember, no matter what the USDA says, Americans still like having Canadians as friends.
