Okay, so now I know where to get a machine...there's certainly been enough
talk about that :-)

My questions is...what am I buying? Are some motherboards better than
others, ditto with hd controller cards et al.

In my specific situation, I'm looking for a rather 'clean' non-RF
radiating '486. I plan to use it with communications radios, and will be
seriously distressed if the computer makes much noise.

Thanks --
Eric

I have a bunch of 35mm slides I would like to have blown up into large
Cibachromes (circa 8x12).  Unfortunately, at prices exceeding $20 per
print this is impractical.  Is there a place that will do it for
significantly less?  Are there any photographers (student, amateur, or

Simplest way is 295 South,  hit howard ave.  follow the green
signs to DC.  that puts you on the Frederick Douglas Bridge.  then look
out you are on south capitol st and watch for the 395 ramps.

Now what has made this whole process really interesting is that
howard ave was closed for 2.5 years while they built the green line,
so you had to get off on the anacostia parkway going through the edge of barry farms.  a notable high murder zone.  

then this past two wyears they have been rebuilding the SE/SW expressway
frocing you to skip ramps and crawl around on surface streets.  a dicey
proposition if you dont intimately knwo that area.  the grid is heavily cut 
up by federal buildings rail and express ways and bridges.

hopefully this is mostly complete and wont be repeated for another 18 months.

  I believe the short answer is;  there isn't one.  I usually get off
  at the NY ave. exit from the Balt/Wash Parkway and take NY to 3rd St.
  (there is a left turn signal and sign pointing to 395).  A left turn there
  leads directly to the SE/SW freeway, (I think thats the name) and you take
  that to the freeway exit for 395 towards VA.  Alternatively, you can take
  95 to 495W and go around to the GW Parkway and take that directly to 
  National.  Its longer but the traffic flows more smoothly (except on Sat.
  and Sun. afternoons of course).
  Don't feel too badly.  When I first started driving in Wash. I swore there
  *must* be an exit from 295 South to Minnesota Ave and the B/W parkway.  I 
  still haven't found it (there isn't one but I still can't believe it :-> )
  Somewhere in highway planning heaven there must be a blueprint for those 
  off ramps.

It might be more efficient to go down 11th Street instead because
you avoid going right through the congested Capitol Hill area.
There are signs that point you across to the I-395 ramp.
Another way besides NY Ave to reach 11th Street is to continue
on Kenilworth at the south end of the BW parkway, then get off
at East Capitol Street.

There's one other way that I know as a resident of the area,
and that's to get off Kenilworth at Burroughs and go south
on Minnesota to Pennsylvania Ave. Then in Penn Ave to the
easternmost on-ramp of I-395.

At any rate, you have to go on surface streets at some point to
go from BW Parkway to I-395, unless of course you elect to
go around to the South Capitol Street bridge.

Somebody with a lot of time to kill should do a system analysis
of all these paths.

If you are looking for something fun to do on a Monday night, then I have an
idea for you for at least the next three Mondays......

There is a series of one act plays being presented at the Tavern Stage at
Kelly's Irish Tavern in D.C. (14th Street I believe).  One of the plays 
was written by a friend of mine and is * REALLY * funny; it's called 
_Britanica_Rules_and its written by William Austin.  Even though _B_R_ is
really funny, all of the plays presented should be good.  For more info, you
can call Kelly's Irish Tavern at 202-547-0188.  Here is what I know about these
shows:

 - Seating starts at 7:00 P.M and dinner is served until 8:00 P.M.
 - The shows start at 8:00 P.M.
 - Tickets cost $7.00 (I don't know about any special rates, sorry)
 - The dates of the performances are (all Mondays) November 23 and 30, and 
   December 7.

As I said above, if you need more info than I have, please call Kelly's!!

And what, specifically, does "entire online database of the LC collection"
mean?  I know that the entire collection of the LC hasn't been digitized

Well, I guess in your mind you've made the decision that human
life boils down to a matter of economics.  As I said, the question
is whether society agrees with you.  And if it does, what price do
you put on a human life?  Perhaps in addition, each crime a person
commits should have a positive or negative value to it?  If the
person's net value of a person's life doesn't equal the cost of
keeping them in prison for an average life expectance, then we
kill them?  Is this what you are advocating?  If so, what about a
poor person who is on welfare for a good portion of their life.
Perhaps, they will never substantially contribute to society
anything, and indeed will take from it more than they contribute.
Should we stop all their benefits so that they will die?  After
all, we could spend that money in more productive ways.
