Backing up...
I scavanged a DDS2 drive a few weeks back. It wasn't working properly, but
I fixed it. Yesterday I bought an Adaptec 2940 from Dog-Bytes computers
for $55, and this morning I got the DDS drive online. I'm now backing up the
system, but man I had forgotten how slow DAT drives are..
Last night I took Sandy to the public observation night at the UF Teaching
Observatory. Because the moon was so bright it obscurred almost everything
else; you could only barely see Andromeda and this other nebula. There was
a binary system though which you could see pretty clearly, and Sandy thought
that was cool. We're going to try to go out again the first or second Friday
in November when Eric says we'll be able to see Saturn and Jupiter. Maybe
I should tell Larry?
