This morning, my mother rather piqued my technical-goat, when she said she was “Tired of my excessive computer buying”. Which of course, is an instant sequence of hash look ups in my brain:

1. SAL1600 (desktop) was bought with a long lost inheritance and strings attached (*groan*).
2. Dixie (laptop) was bought by my sister-in-law, so I could get work done around my mother driving me nuts.
3. Vectra (improvised server) is currently residing in a hodge-podge of parts:
1. Some from a gutted-Dell my brother was throwing out.
2. Some from an old Vectra Vli8 handed down from someone we used to work for, when he heard my mother was being a bitch about letting me dual boot her (then “family”) computer.
