The main problem is that my GVP SCSI card blew up (shows up in early
startup, but as not working, and the machine won't boot with it in place). 
This means I've had to rewire all my SCSI devices to use the CSPPC onboard
interface, where of course they are invisible under APUS.  I do have an IDE
hard drive I can install onto, and a LinuxPPC 2000Q4 set which LinuxPPC
kindly sent me, but I no longer have an IDE CD-ROM.  They one I did have
kept locking up while duplicating discs with MakeCD, so I have replaced it
with a SCSI one.  I'll have to arse about installing from hard drive or
over the network...

I also have three x86 boxes to play with now, plus rather a lot of work in
my day job ;-)  And in three weeks my girlfriend is back in the country. 
She's planning to move in here, so I have to clear out a lot of the
computer junk which makes the place so homely ;-)

I haven't decided yet, I don't think.  I've told my boss that it's
work-related, so I will be going, and I've registered (now that they've
fixed their website).  If you're going to organise (?) a piss up^W^Wmeeting,
I can probably go whichever day suits the most other people.  I can get to
London in under an hour, so it makes no odds to me.

Time for Star Trek...
