And... the 1980 adaption of Lathe of Heaven is fantastic. (There's also a remake I refuse to acknowledge.)

Are there any VHS decks that will allow digital transfer without writing a DVD?
Edit: Found it! There are MiniDV / SVHS combo decks with digital out via firewire. Pricey though.
This was a long time ago, so I don't remember the exact details, but...
A couple went as a pair of penguins. And they had a half-dozen friends dress up as National Geographic photographers, following them around.
(Oh, this was probably when March of the Penguins had just been released.)
I've got about 50 books "saved for later" on amazon. I expect to have the spare cash to buy them all sometime soon.
Roadside Picnic has gravitational anomalies, but they're very small, don't move, and are caused by abandoned alien artifacts.
Raspberry pi in a Cisco WIC card form factor.
I collect old computers (mostly high-end 90s servers: Sun & SGI, but also some older things like that decwriter & tektronics graphics terminal) and I help run a computer museum, so I frequently have things on loan from the museum - either stuff I'm working on, or photographing.
I had this on loan from the museum a few years ago to get V7 Unix (circa 1979) running on it:
Flyers & silkscreened posters by friends.
Yes, although the thing on my desk is just an x-term & media player, so "desktop system" doesn't mean that much...
Mostly video performance (1080 vid stuttered badly, while it plays fine on the same machine under linux.) & compatability. (Not that I want to run a browser on my x-term, but it would be nice to have as a fallback option. Can't install anything recent.) Oh, and extended attributes in the filesystem. I REALLY like being able to add name=val tags to a file. It's immensely useful. That might be my favorite feature of linux? Funny.
Also, I was in the midst of switching from Solaris to Linux on my server, so it just seemed like a good idea to run the same OS on the desktop.
Old droid & Maemo Leste?
(That's what I use.)
Are the usb disk device names changing?
