Worst Weather in the World

Image
I flew up to Maine to see my sister and cousins for a few days. As part of the trip we went up Mount Washington in NH. We went up on the Cogged Railway. It's A unique old vehicle system that only uses a large cog underneath the engine hooked into a ladder type of rack on the tracks all the way to the top. The modern engine uses a 600HP John Deere driving a hydraulic pump which in turn drives several hydraulic motors turning the large cog. Mt Washington is known for the extreme cold and highest wind in the world. Yes, the world. That was not the case when we went up. The winds were 3 MPH and the temp was 62 degrees. the highest ever temp ever recorded was 72 degrees and a 3 MPH wind is generally unheard of. So, the weather was quite kind for us.

I am thinking about bidding on this ebay item. I need an AT style mother board for the Linux/apache webserver I am putting together.

I powered up a 486 mother board the other night (out of the garbage) and it smoked... wierd. I am unsure what happened. I know I had the power connectors on right. I know which mother board I won't be using.
