4:52 PM - Our little trip to flint

Yesterday, Caryn and I went to Flint.  She had to close a bank account with her mom.  We spent about 5 hours with her mom and then visited my mom for awhile.  It was rather nice to leave the apartment.

During our travels, we noticed my old boss started a computer store.  We decided to stop by.  Fred and Ryan were out since it was saturday.  We did get a good deal on a gigabit network card though.  $15 for a via chipset based card.  Its got windows, linux, freebsd and solaris drivers!  It also supports 802.11p/q (tagging and priority queues) .  I dropped it in the windows server here.  Its working very well after I flashed the system bios.  The only remaining non-gigabit devices on the network are our airport express, iBooks,  NeXTstation, and the two sun machines.
