new/old toy soon? (yet another Gigabyte GA-NNN looming)
Thanks for the support and keeping the list alive. Perhaps too alive (I can rant/ramble!) Are Gigabyte motherboards OK? I've only had one so far. Now dying perhaps. Looking ahead..... since I upgrade "combo style" (all ram and cpu attached/included) I'm gonna look at (days from now) a used motherboard+cpu+ram+beast video+beast fan, hope it fits under my hood, dude speaks well about his retired GIGABYTE GA-870A-UD3 SKT.AM3 AMD870+SB850 4XDDR3-1866, IEEE1394 USB3, SATA3, RAID, ATX plus cpu,ram, and even fan info on this BEAST of a fan, should i be scared? https://www.amazon.com/Noctua-NH-U9B-SE2-CPU-Cooler/dp/B002VT1GZ6 doug> I find it cool that a machine/mb that old, is still way more than I need. I've only got one HD/disk for example. I'll try to buy her a tiny computer NEW someday if my new/old cheap-out fails. I want less power! Good brakes please! Ballpark of $100+ for the combo you CAN still find online if you dare and you get lucky that it really works for you. ...below, tangent about the seller i will meet this weekend. Sounds very smart/honest! I almost got him interested in our meeting. He said: (plus, he's a CS engr) Hello network engineer, me> Engineer too....I also a) use Linux only at home b) used Linux only on that machine, rock solid :) The cpu does not come with embedded gpu : I saved 10$ at the time, too bad now!

Yes, I have missed a couple of meetings, due to scheduling conflicts, but would not like to see them stop. Keith Wright via WLUG <wlug@lists.wlug.org> writes:
I could commit by Thursday to make some slides and bring a laptop. I tested slide-showing a few months ago with the WPI cable in the Mid-century Room and it worked.
Here's the catch: My usual ride is unavailable that day. I don't drive and I have not been walking well.
If someone could commit to pick me up at my house about 1/2 hour before the meeting I would make sure I was ready enough to fake it. I live about a mile from WPI. Send me mail.
I will show you some of what I have been doing, and how I do it.
I have a few slides and a vague plan for a short talk. Still no ride. If it doesn't happen this time, I'll do it some other time. -- Keith PS: Doug Mildram via WLUG <wlug@lists.wlug.org> writes:

Some people take pride in having the latest. I run an internet host, with name server (by definition), together with smtpd and httpd, on a machine with a Tandy monitor, all bought used. (Ask your grandfather what's a Tandy?)
Keith, I can definitely give you a ride. I just don't remember your address. If you're uncomfortable putting it on the list you can email me directly at turbofx@gmail.com Frank is going to give a talk about DMARC, SPF and DKIM. How about we plan your talk for January? Thanks, Tim. On Wed, Dec 12, 2018 at 7:01 PM Keith Wright via WLUG <wlug@lists.wlug.org> wrote:

OK. I would like to know more about that. I won't bring the laptop; it's safer that way.

It's too soon to tell. I don't know my schedule that far in advance. I'll keep the slides I have. If not next month then postpone, revise, repeat. When it finally happens, it will be more polished. Or worn off. -- Keith
