So how was VCF Midwest?

My favorite part of the trip - assisting around five other guys with loading Dan C's newest acquisition in to his minivan. An IBM RS/6000. And not just "any" RS/6000. It was an SP machine. Think Cray (as to appearance {and size/weight}). Yes, I did say minivan. I don't think I've ever laughed quite so hard as seeing the precise way that the forklift moving forward and van moving backward was choreographed to get the machine, base pedestal, and two of the four processing nodes in that minivan. Along with a lawn mower (don't ask). I don't recall what time we started loading this machine, I am guessing around 10:30 or so. I do know that it took until around 2am. I have lots of pictures of this operation, including a side view of the minivan's wheel well (or lack thereof). I belive I did hear a leafspring cry out. Thank god CarFax doesn't track that kind of information or Dan may have trouble selling the vehicle some day ;)
