Someone was telling me about how CPU fans are supposed to last for years
and years and years. I had to laugh at that. Mine got all junked up
with dust after a while. Even after I cleaned it, it was still making
some aweful howling/whining noises, like it was struggling to blow air.
I took the thing off, and lubed it with some WD40, and it seems to be
fine now.
That's ridiculous, about how CPU fans, like those Elan fans that came
with Socket 7 Pentium, are supposed to last for at least a decade.
Those things are just cheap plastic. A lot of those things probably go
bad after about a year or so.

FALSE PREMISE.
*LOTS* is getting done... you just refuse to acknowledge it.
In fact...MacNeil-Schwindler Corp, the company that sells
NASTRAN ( *THE* Finite-element analysis tool) is hiring
people to set up Linux-clustered super-computers around
the country for their most demanding clients.

What really sucks is when one of the patch-cords on the front panel
gets an internal open and you have to spend a couple of hours with
the oscilloscope trying to figure out which one is the culprit...
[They STILL have one of those old analog beasts running at Purdue.
It's in a room [glass-walled, of course] as you come up the stairs

So why did Gore only challenge the counts in DEMONCROOK-controlled

Is that a sign that not even a Democrat candidate can trust
a Democrat election board to do things properly?

I guess I'm one of the lucky ones.
I started using Unix (4.2 BSD) as a freshman at Purdue in 1983.
It wasn't until 1994 that I first use an M$ platform.
[Although, by that time, I was already familiar with most
of DOS's shortcomings....tales of frustration from co-op
students in Electrical Engineering].
