[geeks] need help getting crazy stuff i own to work

[James]

I would be the "cool Proteon guy". I don't feel like working this week,
so only email, cell and home phone works this week. I might feel like
working next week though (since my SS5 memory and *loaded* Ultra-5 will be
in ;-).

Don't worry about buggin me on my time off, hardware rescue is my
recreation (hint - I rescue more things with vacuum tubes and discreet
transistors than things with magenetic media and IC's).
