Another little project of mine, well it was more of a career, But it never got off the ground. I did do an MCP in windows XP and did 2 server courses. But with me not getting into the field again, I gave it all the elbow, but 5 years ago, decided to have a play again, and with the hardware and software been retro. I decided to remake a computer lab that I used to have. So that I can mess about for the sake of it.
My server I built, this is my dream system of yester year, The case isn't white but its a really cracker!  Click image to enlarge rocking Click image to enlarge my client workstations yeah they don't have CDRom drives,

Eduardo, I wonder if your son is a member of the Retro machines group on facebook.
These systems are Pentium III which I found is the best all rounder for anything from windows 3.x right up to windows XP. The hardware in them is practically the same, bar the Tower which is a Dual processor. but the board is of the same model practically. Ease of drivers
Everything is done by the server, installation wise.  Defender TD5 90 ---/--- Peugeot 306 HDI hatch back

I Spend time working for a volunteer for a Heritage railway doing projects/repairs/refurbishing associated equipment at home.
I am currently amusing myself and the neighbours making plywood boxes to store a number of micrometre's ranging from 0-1" to 0-15" that have all been donated to the machine shop. Don't make old people mad. We don't like being old in the first place, so it doesn't take much to  us off.

I wonder how many heritage railway volunteers we have on here, three at least (me and two others I now know of).

You can never have enough guitars, motorbikes or Land Rovers. Remember everyone that the rule is mathematical so Mrs H and her kind will never understand. Remember the rule is always: Number of items (N) = N +1 Cheers Don. |
