New Machine...New Weblog... and RIP TAC

So, themdg.org is now on better hardware. Huzzah. It as upgraded from the old PII 450 (Or was it a PIII?) gateway compy with 256MB ram to the PIII 750 with nearly 1GB of ram. The new system is really a solid peice of work. It's been our main desktop for about 6 years. I purchased it from Totally Awesome Computers in Salt Lake City, UT and it's been the best computer I've ever owned. A few upgrades here and there (started with a 15gb hdd and 128MB ram), but the core system is the same.

We welcome the TAC to it's new home hosting all the sites that themdg has to offer.




Edit: Sadly, it looks like Totally Awesome Computer of Salt Lake City, UT is now out of business. It's a bit sordid actually, but you can read the tale by following these links:

Too bad he let his gun-nuttiness get out of control. He had a great thing going. Just look at my system! 6 years running, and now reborn.

RIP TAC.
