Boy, I'd love one of those. I want to get a 22U Compaq rack for my new
server and RAID array, but I haven't been able to locate one nearby.

Wow...I've only seen one of those once...been looking for one for a
while. Take good care of that.

Hello, all:
I found the font that I used on my Web site for the "pdp11" logo. It's
"Century Gothic".

For those of you who were discussing the merits of CD-R manufacturers and
dyes a week or so ago, I ran across a Windows program tonight that might be
of interest. Apparently it can tell you the real manufacturer and dye type
used on the disc. Find it at: http://www.gum.de/it/download/english.htm

Thanks -- some of that is helpful, even though I did find the data sheets
on the web. Now all I need is some time to play with it...

For those of you who don't normally check it out, there's an article on
Slashdot.org about VCF East, linking to the Wired article. Check it out at:
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=01/07/31/1547202&mode=nested
It looks like there is a good amount of interest on there, or people who
would have gone had they heard about it. It might be worthwhile to publicize
the upcoming VCF on there, and maybe remember it for next year.
