Hey hey! the moment you get married, everything becomes more complicated
afterwards. So your work is not that complicated in this perspective. ;)

Joking aside, the re-booting to copy and stuff is somewhat more complicated
than having a central file server I think.
To each his own I guess.

I just got back picking up my stuff. I kid you not, the AudioMedia comes
with everything. All original disks, SD 2 manual, everything. In absolutely
immaculate condition. The Mac has a dead HD, I have to find one in my pile
of old stuff somewhere.
The deception: it's a 66 mhz, not a 80mhz. Can you imagine the performance
I could have had? But seriously, we booted with the original install CD...
works fine, with something like 78mb, which makes no sense but I looked
really quickly. I think those machines had some on-board RAM, I'll have to
check.
Nonetheless, it seems to run fine. He also gave me a few Nubus video cards
he had, and one is as Asante with an Ethernet port...

As my friend said, it looks like I'm building a museum.

I'm a software engineer. We develop with Java on Mac. My own machine is a
monster Alienware M18x with dual graphics cards and all modern and stuff,
but I like playing with those old machines, with the samplers, music.

Anyways, I'm glad some of you don't think I've been had!
