Indeed Rich and everyone. Good to be on this list, and good to meet so
many people.
MC continues to sit quietly in my shed, this year I did get it unburied
and removed most of the boards for cleaning. Looks like everything is
there, the question now is to get the CPU chassis out and find the power
supply that I stored in my attic 20 or so years ago. If the supply still
works (and it's a pretty nice switching supply) maybe I'll take the
backplane out of the box and clean it in the spring....
I wonder how his brother AI is doing. Is it cold in what's left of the
CHM? Is it dark? Is AI lonely, missing people @SUPDUPing in and all that?
Happy Holidays everyone.
