i don't mind keeping the qbus VAX running full time, it's just not really
possible right now. the house i currently live in has very poor wiring, and
the heating/cooling system blows chunks. if it stays this hot for any longer
i'm going to have to start powering off machines.
i wish i didn't rent this house, i would love to fix these small problems, but
i'm not spending a dime on this place since the landlord is a prick, plus i'm
buying a house the beginning of next year. it will have an external structure
of some type to host a proper raised floor lab. and i will have a single
computer (ok, two computers, a sun and a mac laptop) in my office instead of
a billion of them making it so hot i'm sweating bullets. soon. i just have
to keep thinking that to myself. :)
