You know that episode of Kids in the Hall where Scott Thompson is held hostage?

He wakes up to find the news that he's being held hostage. He goes to work as usual. The whole time you're watching the sketch, you figure it's just their regular silliness. Once he pays his ransom ($3000 Canadian, all in $2 bills), he is free -- and begins soaring through the air.

I feel a little like that right now. I had no idea that some little things were holding me back from an enjoyable project. ( Geek stuff here. Non-geeks can skip the sidebar and read along. )

Now I can really learn something about system administration. I would like to compare the results from the dual chips to a single, newer machine. I'll let you know how it goes. My wings are opening.
