     Well, the last few weeks have been kind of a bummer from the technical perspective.  Between Richard's crash and my power problems things have been slowed down a bit.
     Sorry, but some things are just out of our control.
     The good news is that it looks like things are ready to go, now.  Richard is back up (yeah! no more geocities) and my computer is only crashing due to the evil of Bill Gates and not all the little parts inside of it.

     A quick word about MS Windows.  The ONLY way you can get rid of this toy is to die, shut down, or drop it instead of healing the 2pts on a double wrench.  You CAN'T trade it in for damage when you are shot.  You CAN'T trade it in at a chop shop.  You CAN'T decide to load Linux.
     Also, it is an OPTION to infect others with your misfortune.  If you want to give people Windows instead of using your main laser, you have to TELL me that.
     I sure some of the misconceptions with this toy have come from the write-up (I guess I need to change it some more from what I found out on the web).  If someone could do a new write-up for it that you think would stop these problems, please send it to me.

 

Now for the no-frills write-up.
