    PCSPECIALIST so far, so good.

    Guess who arrived today? My new shiny friend, that's who! Hello there, new friend! Unboxed. I turned it on, everything worked fine. I named the beast Baphomet, which turned out to be a mistake. I then got to work on transplating the HDD from my other machine into this one. It was tough...
