Last Place at Carcassonne
This picture says it all! Justin Findlay with some used headphones from the geek trade. I would say it was mostly a DI drive in disguise, but I am only looking at it from one perspective, my willingness to dump 20G of 2G SCSI drives so I don’t have to actually go to the DI. [...]
