SATA/SATA2....pffft...

I saw a link somewhere and followed it to a site and ordered kits.
Got like 5 Macs, ten 32 and five 64bit sets.
Free shipping even.
Took about a month to show up, but hey, it was free.

The funniest thing is the bit on the sleeve encouraging you to make copies and give it away.
Somewhat different than the doom & gloom warnings from MS....

I'll have the latest version myself by this evening. Hopefully it will have a better desktop than Mandriva 10.1, but I suspect Mandriva 2006 has a better desktop too.

I found that site too (shipit something), but I don't see the need since it will only take a couple of hours to download the ones I want anyway, about 10 minutes and I'll have the first disk.

uh oh did I start a trend, everyone remeber rm -rf -y *./ to activate coolness.

my DFI Lanparty supports it, i just got to do a mod or something, but pointless since i only got 2 160gig IDE drives that i got for 25$ each.
