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.
