quote of the day: ...azalea?

Hardware Squee

It feels great...
...to have your data available again.
...to have more desk space than before (because 2 500 GB drives fit l&r under the TFT, whereas the 1TB drive box did not)
...to have two silver 4 USB 2.0 ports on top of each (I'm a physicist - we're suckers for symmetries!)
...to have now enough ports for all of my periphery at once!
...to have the whole system back behind high-grade surge protection (*)
...to have all the black & silver wires neatly bound back again
...to finally be able to focus on writing!

(*) yes, I'm paranoid. You should see my UPS!
