Scary... I was a Mac guy for many years, then got a PC job when Win95
came out, and went whole hog.... got my MCSE (when it still mostly meant
something), and have about a zillion dead PCs in the basement. Maybe TWO
zillion- you can track memory, disk, and video card history by going
further into the pile. Not 3 months went by that I didn't have something
new to play with.
Then I stayed home when my son was born... and went back to Macs. In 18
months, I haven't done anything to that Mac but add RAM, but I've played
with a Corrado, a Passat, and a 16V Bunny, and resurrected a Scirocco, a
Jetta, and now I'm working on a Syncro.
Why didn't anyone tell me what fun Vanagons were sooner?!? That thing
has taken the place of a4WD Ranger, a Passat wagon, a grocery-getter
Jetta, AND made us get out and enjoy camping again. This may be the last
vehicle I ever own!
But I have a problem- I'd like to upgrade the Mac's video card... but I
also have an engine to swap into the Van!
