Rumor has it that Chris M may have mentioned these words:

Not "duh" -- that was prolly "DEC" - short for Digital Equipment 
Corporation. Doubtful you've ever heard of the company on _this_ list 
before... ;-)

I have a DEC System 3000 Model 300 at home... nice machine. Had Tru64 Unix 
on it for the wife. Gotta love not worrying about spyware or viruses! :-)

Sadly, the framebuffer didn't have enough colors for true-color, and when 
the wife wanted to view more pictures & stuff on the web, she wanted an 
upgrade. Ah well, a Compaq dual-processor server & a 32Meg PCI video card 
w/Linux to the rescue...

Still have the box & 19" monitor, tho. Heavy sucker that it is...

Assuming I actually get a job soon (Supposedly, the longer I wait to hear 
if I have the job, the better chance I have of getting the job... weird 
logic, but it's for "da man") and can afford to go to a VCF or two next 
year... it may be available for cheap. Right now I can barely afford a pot 
to cook in... let alone petrol for the 4x4. Shipping is out of the question...

Laterz,
Roger "Merch" Merchberger
