I am pissed off at the entire world right now so I'm going to the garage where no one will bother me and play with old computers.

I would like to show off some of my ancient audio hardware. This is a Creative Audigy 2 card along with the external sound card that accompanies it that works over FireWire. I also have a Roland JV-1080, people often mistake it for an amp when they look around in my garage but it is actually a synthesiser. Many 90's songs were made on this, which is why I got one so that I could recreate them very closely if I wanted to. Tonight I'm cleaning these and see how far I can fix up my win98 PC.

I needed a mono screen for my XTs so last month I bid the equivalent of $1 per monitor and ended up winning 5 of them. At least they are all working but that's a project for another day.

And after a lot of yak shaving and cleaning and looking for a serial mouse, I have a win98 setup up and running again. Nothing special, a 233mhz Pentium with 128MB ram and a S3 virge DX display card. I also rescued this mosaic software mouse pad from ending up in the trash earlier this year.
