Life with no mail client-here's my comments on how and why.
by Oren Beck 06 Jan '08

06 Jan '08

The last time I used a "mail client" it was for an employee account . And only for company required issues. The experience confirmed the insanity of Outlook. Before that I used PINE running on my AT/286 thru a dial shell session. Which got replaced by webmails beginning with the PRE-M$ incarnation of Hotmail Thence to Operamail as it played nice with both Win and Lin versions of Opera Browser. Currently Gmail also shows me life with no mail client can be easy. Yes, there are some issues of backup and dubious degrees of "privacy decay" have been stated. But since my life is lacking the drama needing worry about privacy in mundane emails?. -- Oren Beck 816.729.3645

Hardware for sale - 1U servers and maybe more
by Jon Pruente 03 Jan '08

03 Jan '08

I need to sell off some stuff to make a house payment. I need to sell before New Years. Up for sale is a pair of those 1U servers that have been going around for a bit. They're configured with Celeron D 320 2.4GHz CPU on Biostar U8668-D mobos with 80GB IDE drive and 512MB RAM in SuperMicro SC512L-260B 1U cases. I can sell them for $200 each, non-negotiable unless you'd like to give me more for some reason. ;) I also have an old HP Pavillion 4453 with an AMD K6-380 and 6-8GB HDD (I'll check if anyone is interested) with the matching 15" CRT monitor. It's got the stock 64MB DIMM in it, but I have extras so I can throw in a 128MB DIMM or two if interested too. An old Monorail workstation with a Tyan Tigercub 100 ( S1894) and a Celeron 400. I also just put together a tower with a Tualatin P3-S 1.26GHz on a DFI CM33-TL Rev C mobo if there is interest for it (48-bit LBA and USB booting) 512MB w/ 20GB IDE & CD-ROM. The Tualatin would match/beat most early P4 systems and use less power/put out less heat; it would make a fine setup to put a 1U hs/fan on and stick in a 1U case for a low power sever. Reasonable offers please. Thanks, Jon.

A question about thinkpad models- T 40, T41 etc
by Oren Beck 03 Jan '08

03 Jan '08

The mind numbing differences between some thinkpad models bears asking the group for info. Which of the thinkpad options or details are most important to seek or avoid? Graphics, the Radio card, screen type etc- my primary uses will be web browsing and music. Ripping a large collection of cd's to either mp3 or .ogg I am not at all a gamer nor do I edit video. hopefully some one will read this before the night's meeting disbands or at breakfast to pick the group mind- budget is $ 4-500 if possible . -- Oren Beck 816.729.3645

didn't someone tell me that telco equipment had 40vdc racks once?

I've been suggesting this kind of thing for years http://www.news.com/8301-11128_3-9835281-54.html?part=dtx&tag=nl.e433 -- Looking back, I realize that my path to software as a career began at the age of seven, when someone taught me to count in binary on my fingers.
