If I don't forget, I'll be there.  I'll try not to forget.

...timeslots...

I intend to be there all day if my machine's there all day. ;)

I'll bug Ryan since he got the G3 working recently...  I'm not sure what
state it's in or f\if he wants me speaking for him though.

Can I bring my Dual Celeron 552/196MB RAM machine?  Please? :)  Maybe I'll
stab another 64MB DIMM in if that's what it takes...  The TNT2 might be redy
to replace the existing TNT card by then too, and someday I'll figure out
LMsensors...

I got my Sun 3/50 working, does that count?  (no, black-and-white screen and
slow graphics, not to mention net-boot - but I figured I'd offer)

I'm currently woring on getting vmware to play nice, that would be cool.  
It doesn't work with SMP enabled though - although ti does work pretty much
out-of-the-SuSE6.2-box (which I happen to be considering putting on the
K6-2/400 BeOS box next to me).

Viavoice and xvoice came out of the box too, but I'm not having as much luck
setting that up.  Voice dictation sounds potentially cool...

Sound visualization and windowmaker dockapps are on my list of things to
look for this weekend, I guess. :)
