2:01 PM EDT 		Now that I've managed to run X over SSH with MacSSH to connect and MI/X as the X server on a 1995-era Powerbook 1400 running Macintosh System 7.6.1 in 48 MB of RAM, I can retire from useless geekery forever. (That means anybody in the L.A. area can come by and pick up my mid-'90s Sun 32-bit hardware/software collection).

3:50 PM EDT 		Hmm, I've still got a celeron with 128 MB RAM and a voodoo graphics card, running fedora core 1. - it actually ran quake 3 arena fairly well. Haven't powered it up in awhile. I wonder if it will still boot up...
