I wished it all folded up and stuff; but nope nuts. I only need the power warts I combined into a single 'bump in the wire'; plus the two usb cables. The monitors each have a nice zipped leatherette case.

This 'pictured' at my at 'confab table' in my office during setup. MMT makes a pretty cool USB Monitor 1366x768, the Air is 1440x900 with a smaller dot pitch.

It's tough to find a multi-monitor that portable much less good looking

Seriously, I know of another case where a guy had a chuck wrench slammed through his chest. He died. Bad idea to leave the key in, ever.

Oh yeah I would never leave the chuck key in unattended, that's the road to perdition. I meant when you're trying to tighten or loosen the chuck and the engine slips out of neutral and starts creeping. Fortunately the lever to engage the engine is a throttle rather than an on/off so when it does slip out the chuck just barely starts turning.

Take a photo, we can probably make you an rtf file that you could print onto some sticky paper to glue over the heiroglyphics. Of course, if we're feeling mischievous that day .....

Ha ha sadly all I've got is my crappy camera here with me today, it is worse than useless:

You could have PG&E come and shut off the electricity to that portion of the city, too, but it seems like elementary safety practices should be sufficient.

His purple Indigo2s start at £140, and that's with a full installation of IRIX and various other extras. Bought the one in my sig from him and have been very happy with it indeed. He's based in Edinburgh and shipping around the UK isn't too expensive.

I have an indigo 2 not powering on (no led, fan movement or anything) and am curious as to whether the power supply for an indigo 2 with impact graphics is proprietary like most other SGi stuff or if there are generic PSUs out there that will work with this system. I have read Ian Mapleson's reconditioning failed PSU article but I am not interested in messing with capacitors just replacing the PSU. Any opinions are appreciated.

Each nation around the Baltic Sea has its own prevailing brand–the Danes have Aalborg and the Swedes have O.P.–but my favorite (again, thank the wife for this one) is the Norwegian Linie. Aquavit from Norway tends to have even stronger flavors and a slightly darker color than its neighbors, thanks to a year or more of aging in oak casks, like whiskey. Linie takes that tradition even further, though: the name is Norwegian for “equator,” because to this day, each barrel is shipped around the world, from Norway to Australia and back, crossing the equator twice during the journey. They claim that the rocking in the boat, the ocean air, and the changes in temperature and humidity all go toward making it taste better, and it’s hard to argue with the results.
