Bootmessages (was: Re: testing)

That would probably be a really good resource for people who tend to see computers around an want to know what they're looking at... It would be especially useful for machines that are similar in enclosure but not in firmware.

Hmmm... ;) Speaking of drinking, Tuesdays (tonight!) are when my APA Pool Team plays. We're in first, with only two more matches to go!

Before I moved to FL, Sridhar and Brian Hechinger came down to hang out and hack on stuff, and crashed on my couches. Late the next morning, I walk into the living room to find Sridhar just waking up. He sits up, gets what is likely that very same funny look on his face, and says "NAME THY FECES!!" I think the boy needs to eat more beef and less plantlife. All that chlorophyll is getting into his brain. ;) -Dave -- Dave McGuire St. Petersburg, FL

Ok, Russ, to see Sridhar's stuff, we gotta get together and do a Hillbilly VCF 1.0 If we time it right and have it in Owensboro, we could make it a part of the Kentucky Burgoo Festival... ;)

I've discovered a new simple pleasure. Sitting in my storage locker with a space heater and my IBM Portable Personal Computer (thanks again, Jeff) programming in BASIC in the middle of the night. Ahhh. Peace... Sridhar
