I reached New Haven at around 2AM this morning. It is cold here. Why is it cold here?
Anywho, I arrived in one piece and the drive didn't take nearly as long as it has in the past. I think the trick to missing all traffic is to leave Raleigh around 4PM.
I'll get to work on the Raptor stuff on Monday while Vinney is in class, I don't anticipate it taking more than another day or two of testing to finish everything.
I'll keep you updated.
Take care and have a great weekend.

I'm lucky to say that I have not only visited the Ferrari museum in Maranello but also the Porsche museum in Zuffenhausen, the Mercedes museum in Stuttgart, and the BMW museum in Munich. I've ridden passed the VW museum in Wolfsburg and the Audi factory in Ingolstadt. If I had to rank the museums, this is how I would do so: 1) Ferrari, 2) Mercedes, 3) Porsche, 4) BMW. BMW's was simply dreadful by comparison to the others. Then again, München is the nicest city of all, so once you leave the museum, there is PLENTY of beer to drink. I have also taken the BMW factory tour in South Carolina. That is very cool!And as far as a car and/or digital photography forum goes, I volunteer to moderate :)

Thanks for the driving tip, so far if I leave at 4PM it seems like the only traffic I encounter is just getting out of Raleigh and onto US1 North.Gaurav Sharma
The next generation of motherboards will most likely have 1 - x16 and 1 or 2 x1 PCI Express slots, as well as conventional 32-bit PCI slots, so no worries there.

I do it from time to time when my hands are free, since I'm not working on the hard drive stuff until tomorrow I had some time to answer a few questions ;)
I went for the Rebel simply because it is more affordable than the 10D. There are a number of other forums I'd like to see created, but it's actually more of an issue of making sure we can moderate it all. One of the things I'd like to tackle next year is to expand the forums a bit and with FT Enterprise that may be an easier option.
No, Brandon never showed me the postcard, I'm jealous :) I think you should define "able" though, I lack the time to make a trip out to Maranello :) I have heard great things about the Ferrari factory tour, the Porsche tour is supposed to be pretty impressive too.
Take care guys, it's time to turn in for me - I've got a long workday ahead.

Wow, Anand was on a roll tonight! Never seen him indivdually answer questions like that. Cool!Just looked at your wish list, Anand. Why not go for the Canon 10D? At least you're a Canon fan like me! Maybe we can get a digital photography forum going?!? Along with a car forum?!? I know you have the power! Besides, the more you have me talking about Ferraris and Canons, the less time you have me dissing nVidiots in GH :)
BTW, did Brandon ever show you the postcard I sent him of the Ferrari Factory while I was in Maranello, Italy? Since you are able, you should take that Canon Digital Rebel (and Vinney) and take the Ferrari factory tour!!! Now that would be a trip.

Whats the default multiplier on a xp 2500+ bartonGaurav Sharma - Sunday, December 14, 2003 - link
Anand,Are the new BTX boards likely to have a few "older" PCI slots on them for backwards compatibility? Other than graphics there's stuff like sound kit /wireless adaptors that's running off PCI, so it's something to worry about I presume.
Also, are the boardmakers going to be offering equivalent BTX motherboard designs for AMD chipsets, or will that come later such as with the DDR-II support on athlons?
Happy xmas all.

Anand,After taking several trips from CT to NC, I can tell you the easiest way through CT/NY/NJ is to take the Garden State through NJ to the Tappen Zee bridge. From there you can take 84 or 15 towards New Haven. It's a little longer mileage wise, but it can avoid some traffic and will save you plenty of time, as long as you don't hit the bridge at rush hour. Can't help you with the Delaware/Baltimore traffic though, I don't know if anyone can...
Take care.
