hiya<br><br>thanks for the offer of temp hardware loan's (david & bytey) I might take you up on that <br>but at the moment I'm rocking the house with a 400mhz ppc G3 Mac with a epic 640mb of ram <br>i shudder at the power of this beast!!! :-/<br>
<br>but if i get sick of OS X or none of the keys matching up to the keyboard or FF taking longer to load then the whole mac does to boot i'll give you a shout<br><br>as for fsf listed mother boards :D<br>oh how iI would love a mother board where i could replace the bios with a free/linux one <br>
that would be pretty sweet. :D (geek)<br><br>could of made loads of funny(ish) Dr who related comments about you having a TIME machine David<br><br><br>Dick<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Feb 4, 2009 at 12:46 PM, David Carpenter <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:david.carpenter@nornir.co.uk">david.carpenter@nornir.co.uk</a>></span> wrote:<br>

By the way I've got that old TIME machine sitting around taking space. I<br>
put GNewSense on it and everything worked (that I tried!) (Richard)<br>
You're welcome to it, and if he doesn't want it I am looking for a good<br>
home for it. I'll sort out the spec and post it if anyone's interested.<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>
