On the Mend

Posted by jonljacobi Apr 11, 2008

Well, for the first time in a week I don't feel like a train wreck. Sorry to the winner, but until I make it in to finish testing and packing up... Actually, we're still waiting on a boxed CPU and the USB version of the Xbox 360 controller before we can ship this puppy out. If all the paperwork is finished, that should be by mid next week. We also have to take a few pictures of the finished machine (just the box).

The games tests wouldn't load on the machine according to William Wang of the Test Center. Probably because of all the games already on there. I'll have to do a clean reinstall to get those done I suppose.

I guess this is all a bit anti-climactic and few people are reading anymore. After all, it's just not the same if you don't stand a chance of winning the thing. Collective sigh. Still, must finish the job and all that so I'll be logging till the end.

Cheers, Jon

glad to hear you're on the mend. i'm still interested in the results of this computer. it's interesting for myself at least, to read about the tech and the process. i wish it were the 70's so i could say 'keep on truckin', but it's not, so i won't

For a guy who regularly employs anachronisms such as hot-diggedy-dog, keep on truckin' bothers me not in the least. ;-)

So I am guessing that the winner has responded by now?
