My Computers

Advance warning: This page is hopelessly outdated. In fact, it's a historical relic. I've thrown out virtually everything on here. I now have only a Mac Mini and a Thinkpad T42. (And if Apple would make a notebook with a TrackPoint, I'd probably have a MacBook...)

These three systems (among others) are connected via a Linksys Stackable EtherFast 100BaseTX hub and a D-Link DSS-5+ 10/100 switch with an SDSL uplink.
