I have tons of spare parts (fills four bins under my bed), two LCDs, three glass monitors (2 PC, 1 SGI), SGI, Sun and PC keyboards.

I'm essentially a geek. And the kicker with this is all of this is shoehorned into a 450 square foot apartment.

When I moved from Texas to Virginia, I left a space behind the front seat for the litterbox and a bowl of water and food. I let my two cats roam freely in the car. If your cat is pretty mellow, it should settle down after a while and just curl up and relax.

My cats were fine when I was with them. They didn't get underfoot and generally stayed within arms reach for comfort. A little freedom is all they wanted. When I stopped for food, I left them in the car (it was a spring move so it wasn't hot) with food and water. Not exactly PC but they were fine by themselves for 30 minutes. I did make arrangements before leaving to stay in hotels that accepted pets during the stopovers. Trip took 3 days and went very smoothly overall.

I just joined the "Gas Guzzler" club with a new Fuel of my own. This one was DOA due to the main power connector coming loose in shipping. Plugged in and machine powered up. Just took a while to finally bring the display up and boot.

Definitely going to be the nicest of the SGIs I own. Fuels and Tezros have been on my lust list for a long time.
