/me is tired! by radiowave911 2008-10-01 19:59:14
There is a computer recycling day coming up on Saturday. I have been wading through the disaster area that serves as my basement getting things out to take up to the college that is having the day. I have been accumulating this stuff for somewhere in the neighborhood of 10+ years. I have 8-bit ISA cards. I have 16-bit ISA cards. I have boards that I have no clue what they went to, but some of the date codes on the chips place the chip manufacture in the late 70's. I have the remnants of a NetFRAME system - including several rows of disk - none of it enough to be useful. I just bought a single SATA drive for my MythTV box that has considerably more storage than the entire set of NetFRAME arrays (lesse - about 12Gig per array, and I have 5 arrays, that's what? 60 gig or so? I have a 500 gig drive in my Myth box.)

Two more evenings to work on this - and a good chunk of tomorrow will be spent out (doing some studies for the radio station on the cheap - I.E. free, and pizza is being provided!). My front porch is looking like a computer graveyard. Some stuff,I will need help carrying up - like the old Tektronix Phaser wax sublimation printer. That sucker is heavy. None of it is worth anything anymore, or I would have tried to FreeCycle it (or offer it to UFies) first. If it still works and is useful, I am hanging on to it.

Ima go nitey nite now.
