I was a GM on ClanLord for quite a while. I'm the one who designed a way for players to compose and play music together 'live', and all the 'Bard' stuff. In the days of slow modem connections, it was pretty cool. So

I personally use 2 ZFS groups of 2 disks, and backup one on the other 'manually' [0]. I get the advantage of both worlds mostly. I use a HP microstation gen 8, it's lovely hardware; and I use nas4free on a usb stick in the in

Heheh yeah I'll look smart with my USB keyboard ;-) On the other hand, for the time the sparcs were pretty advanced, high speed SCSI (whoohoo ;-)), they had the famous RS422 ports that were also on the macs and allowed (synchronous) 2M

The price of new quality furniture has also gone down a lot IMO. I bought a solid oak 8 people dinning table recently, beautifully made for £800 -- It's likely to have been made in China etc, but it is very well made, and will last
