huh!? did I hear someone just say 'backup' in the context of UCC?
*sigh* what are we coming too?   ;)

/aside, ... , I have seen a couple of pentium boards and CPU' on
aus.ads.forsale.* recently, no prices though.  Oatley are floggin boards for
$90. we'd get a warranty of sorts with it too I guess. but, A celery is probalby a better
bang/buck buy and it will have better throughput with a 66/100MHz bus.

hmm they're also floggin Pentium II boards.  ie 100MHz bus... at the same
price.  Would we prefer a quality board or is this reasnoable?
