[EN] By-Law of Visual Redemption
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.

"When a UPS shipment is meant to arrive at twelve-fortyfive,
your eyes will fail to register actual delivery until
three-fifty."

"When you are waiting for a UPS shipment to arrive, another
shiny square black van will make a delivery to someone living
right across the street."
