Methinks you'd have better luck finding some of them Pentium IIs...sounds like you need something pretty big@$$!!!!

Ooooh you've touched on something I like :D. There are quite a few luxury features in some big & elaborate homes, and most of them are kinda kitschy (electric curtain openers or other kinda things) but a friend of mine from school lived in a house with heated bathroom floors and walls. oooooh warm tiles! iWant! and 'course, water-cooling is just too easy! dana Quadra 605 Obsessions
maclover5 LC Doctor/Hot Rodder Australia 5830 Posts	Posted - 14 Sep 2002 : 04:22:07 And of course, when you turn on these Pentiums, you'd also need to make sure that the fans and heatsinks had definately been removed, to improve heat production. -------------------------- "I keep my friends close, but I keep my enemies closer" - Unkown Warrior maclover5 68k Macintosh Liberation Army Number of 68ks Liberated: 6

I bet that they still sell them, say in large quantities a few bucks US, that's only $30-60 K AUS for tiles! ~Coxy - Leader, Tactical Operations Unit Mayor of NuBus City v3.0

Trash80toG-4 NIGHT STALKER USA 2899 Posts	Posted - 14 Sep 2002 : 10:20:37 Welcome back lil'miss muse! It is indeed a pleasure to wake oncee more to the pleasure of a Saturday morning's maniacal missive! I'd suggest that you have your legions of fans mail 68LC040's to convenient locations on each continent for packing and transhipment. Whatever you do tho, you need to bash the freakin' things well with the other side of your ball peen hammer, firmly embedding the pins into the underlayment. Turtle-turned DIP's on the shop floor are plenty bad enough, but collecting a an inconveniently placed PGA from the floor for eventual replacement with the bottom of ones foot . . . . . . well, it best be avoided in any case . . . but adding the complication of dealing with a fallen tile in the morning or the middle of the night whilst on the way to relieve bladder pressure (or worse) . . . jt ™.

I've had a long row of dip pins embedded in my skin just recently. One small stab with one of those pins, and it's not too bad - but puncturing about 6 holes all at once in the skin of your hand HURTS, and takes disproportionately longer to heal! dana Quadra 605 Obsessions

Sure, the 'LC040s would be cheaper initially, but if you spend a little extra up front and tile your bathroom with full '040s you can get ready for work in the morning an average of 40% faster.

shaktiman Senior Member United Kingdom 1226 Posts	Posted - 14 Sep 2002 : 22:16:41 Following the thread of humour, Getting input & output confused can cause terribblle problems, & I already posted in reply to cine about the extra cd drive & the strange hilarity about removing my floppy & adding a hard one. Yes I am sure Motorola will still be selling it's 68040 Though then with the work ethic you may wish for the 68060's which would be twice as fast as the 040's(efficiency taken into account?) so you would get more work done? no but if you 68040 your bathroom somone is bound to go 1 better to 68060 theirs. now u may well pick up 68000's which u may well get for a song, although I cannot really advocate using 68k's as bathroom tiles, You could start producing your own"virtual hacks" become a reality computers. Also I heard a story about someone trying to make a 68k computer that used 8 68000's. shaktiman Quadra 840av 128MB ram 2MB vram cd drive(caddy),1 caddy!:-)1.44 floppy drive,inject :-(1.2 gig drive 2 monitors 15" & 14" os 8.1 56k modem Stylewriter 1200 Zodiac speakers Umax 1220s scanner 3 year old son!
