Had a problem with my aging AthlonXP workstation tonite. It locked up, then the fan started screaming, so I shut it down. Its been “complaining” for some time. That was why I originally move the HP a712n next to it, to copy all the data off it, but now I’ve gotten used to using two workstations. So the death of the AXP box presented a problem. So I moved the idle HP dc7600 convertible tower into place tonite. Its a P4 3.2Ghz with hyperThreading, 3Gb RAM, and has vista 64bit on it, and runs really well. So its hooked up with a 1600×1200 resolution and will let me do all that I need. So I’ll add AXP’s drive as a second drive and start using the data from it that way. May even try to do some sort vmware workstation on it, so that I can access the apps from AXP too - but that will take some time.
