The only response from my neighbors was "What IS that thing?"

My neighbors wouldn't care if I did.  :)

For now, the Crimson is living in my kitchen until I move.  I popped out
the CPU board just to see what was on it and what kind of shape it was
in and was shocked at how pristine it is.  The boards in this thing look
like they were just fabbed yesterday.  There is NO dust inside this
box.  I don't know anything about Crimsons really, so any pointers to
docs beyond Ian Mapleson's stuff would be appreciated.  It appears to
have VGXT graphics, and an R4400 150 processor.  I haven't tried to
power it up yet since I don't have a 220 outlet in my apartment.  If
anybody has some RE graphics for sale/trade, please let me know.  (For
those of you following some of the recent Intel threads on rescue, the
RE uses Intel i860XP processors :)  According to the specs I can find,
the polygon handling on this thing far outstrips my Indy and nearly
matches my Octane, so bzflag should run just fine on it :P

Cheers,
