Day two: I decided to take a couple of days off of work and spend some good quality time with my computers at home. The network is up and running. Logan’s machine is having a difficult time handling packets. I suspect a faulty nic. this morning I went to all the hot spots in town: Gateway electronics (finally picked up a Dauphin mini-keyboard, $10.00), Electronics exchange, and then headed down to A-Z South to do a bit of poking around there. Surprise! They’re not there anymore! No notes on the door regarding their whereabouts or anything!! Bummer. Not that there was a great selection of anything there, but it seems that with the success of Ebay that there are fewer and fewer places around town to rifle through old, used equipment. Once home, I grabbed the lpkg package from Debian and began to extract the package for use on my BSD machine. LPKG is a very small and simple command line tool for transferring packages to my Apple Newton. Started to play around with the idea of turning my old compaq laptop into a wearable type thing. Hmmm.. I’ll keep you posted as to how far that really gets.
