Several of our systems have recently undergone motherboard, BIOS, and
CPU chip upgrades. Those which we _can_ upgrade. Two are now running
Cyrix MII at 233 mHz, one a Cyrix 6x86mx Pr200 at 166mHz, one (the node
system, actually) an Intel Pentium at 166 mHz, one an Intel Pentium MMX
at 233 mHz, one an Intel Pentium II at 266 mHz, and one an unknown cpu
chip at 600 mHz. Three different operating systems on the above systems,
with Windows98 being the major one, augmented by Novell Dos 7 and Linux.
Then there are the three AT&T 3b2's that probably can't be upgraded at all;
and the Motorola 6800 and 6809 systems that are now so antiquated, they,
too, probably aren't worth the trouble of even trying to come up with an
upgrade; the Zenith laptop; and the IBM PC Convertable which, in the last
move, we have unfortunately mis-laid the power supply for. Can't count the
two maxi tower systems that currently haven't even got disk drives in them,
or the many replaced and now outdated motherboards... mmmm.... that's over
a dozen operational systems at this site. Interesting... hadn't realized
we had that many...  too bad all these improvements aren't paralleled by
a decent internet linkage, but that's what we get for prefering to live
where the neighbor's dogs may bark all they want but are too far away to
be heard...

PW> Trust me, keeping things straight can sometimes be a bear.

Yup.
