Ladies and Gentlemen, we present to you Linc Fessenden
and his prized lap
top. If we are not mistaken, that is PII
Around 400mhz (Well we are not mistaken, ahem, since Linc corrected us)
screaming with 128mb of ram (have to check the facts later on that
one). Linc is gearing up for another fun filled Linux Link Tech Show.
Linc is sporting a comfortable suite and prepp
ing his Radio Shack microphone; all of which total under $50.00! Well,
I should not say that about his clothes, they are pretty snappy so
maybe they cost more.
Take note of Dann's laptop in the lower left-hand
corner. That's a fiery PII
I 350 with a killer 64 mb ram. You probably cannot see this, but Dann's
laptop is running the
Ice Window Manager. Now that is a step away from his usualy Window
Maker and yo
u may be asking yourself "What's the deal here, Dann?" Well, this
laptop is use
d primarly
by Dann's wife. With a roaring 64mb of ram, a window manager like KDE
or Gnome, although very well feature, drags performance to sub-optimum
levels. So, to keep with a more familiar terrain, Dann chose Ice W
indow Manager for his wife and did a nice setup for her, complete
with family pictures cycling through the desktop background. Dann could
have us
ed Window Maker, but he felt that would be too alien for her. Linc
would have pressed for XFCE, which he runs on his laptop, but Dann felt
that would be equal
ly alien.
These images allow you, gentle viewer, to see how beat
up the backyard brawl table really is. The team fears it may
fall apart at any minute. It provides little comfort to poor Linc
suffered unde
r the constant threat of avalanche from the tower piles
of magazines littering the landscape of Dann's office.
You cannot see any o
f these towers because
the mountain chain has been relocated to the periphery and out of the
main show area. Needless to say, it is a cramped fit
with all three of the Tech Show Crew yacking away.
Part of Dann's horror movie collection can be seen
against the wall in the re
d Yaffa bins. Having no where else to
go with them for the time being, their presence makes for an
interesting obstacl
e course when trying to get back to the seat against the wall. A
healthy gut suck is required by all, and a tip-toe dance to the side,
or else the whole
enchilada comes crashing down.
Finally, those cdr's have nothing to do with the show
right now. Maybe in th
e future we will release show compilations to LVLUG member and
what not. Nor are we trying to endorse Wegman's brand soda (the can is
by the 1
7 inch monitor for those without eagle eyes and can alse be found on
the previous page); although Wegman's is Dann's favorite grocery store.
