One of the few certifications I have is as a Netware Administrator :lol:

I miss the days of screwing with people by unplugging token ring terminators :twisted:

I do not miss the days when I was the poor schmuck that had to track down where some asshole had pulled a terminator as a practical joke... :evil:

I supported a far-too-large AppleTalk LAN at San Diego State for a year. It was awful.

I love how Apple didn't even try to hide that the "terminator" was just a resistor crimped into a phone plug...

Nope. Never was a Dead-head, but similar time period and I might have been around some of his product... :o

Must be the Boi racer wing.

Uh...the ad reads like a classic "buy it you won't be sorry" deal. Only driven by a little old lady to car shows on Sundays, the speedometer and tach works...occasionally, might need some work...

Just enough disclaimers to prevent lawsuits.

So...I finally bought into the 303 aerospace hype...and I begrudgingly admit that it is kind of awesome.

Understeer: You will hit the wall with the front end.
Oversteer: You will hit the wall with the rear end.
