called me. The next
thing I know I am wondering where to store it all while I sort it out.
The latest call was to see if I was interested in a mess of Intel boxes.
Hard to say no, when who knows what goodies might be lurking inside the
next machine you pull the cover off of. One thing early on is to
convince your significant other that there is nothing abnormal about
having multiple computers in multiple rooms of the house.

I solved the problem; bought a house that had a 2-car garage that had been
finished out with carpet and paneling (the only clue that its not a "normal"
room like the rest of the house is the 2 garage doors along one wall - but
hey, makes it easier to move pallet-loads in!). I keep my "junk" out
there, and the fiancee stays happy. 8-)

equipment I can get my hands on in the Austin or surrounding areas..)
