If you're looking for webhosting service, I do NOT recommend 123systems. My cpanel server with them has been offline for several days this past month with no explanation.

I'm at Gig Harbor, WA! http://4sq.com/c5JM7S

Finally, a complete draft of my latest TPS report. Still have some work to do.

@matigo The original Macs running on the Motorola 68000 were CISC processors. The PowerPC Macs were RISC. The Intel processors are CISC. So they've flip-flopped :P

@matigo Wikipedia says the 6502 is not a RISC processor [en.wikipedia.org], though it is very efficient at what it does. :)

@matigo That's four times the speed of the first computer I ever used: The Apple II which had a 6502 processor that ran at a blistering 1 Mhz :P

@matigo yeah but we're also old school. We remember 1 Mhz 8-bit processors. :P

@matigo This is a case of the end justifies the means :)

@matigo whatever makes you a better programmer, who am I to judge? :P

@matigo Why should we have empathy for the machines?

That said I tend to agree with the end result (use our machines more efficiently), but empathy is not the reason I would come up with. :P
