Ben C. O. Grimm - One Weblog Too Many

Although I will probably be dreaming of square black vans for a few nights to come, I've finally received what I was waiting for.

The picture shows my new and shiny Dell Dimension 9150 (top), which is the replacement for the Dell Dimension 8300 (below), which used to be my desktop PC for the past two years.

It will now be promoted to the position of my new FreeBSD server, which has been running on a, now very slow and noisy, 1997 PC (not pictured, it's resting). This one will, in turn, "retire".

RIP, old pal. You served me well.
