Brian, I do not "dance around" - you told me
the new mainboard
wasn't working, so you sent it back. Ok. But my question was, when
will the replacement arrive?
The replacement arrived, and Jason tested it, and it had the same ram
errors. The problem is mysterious, but anyhow we are to the point
where we are likely going to send the machine back and have them fix
it and return it. I haven't spoken to Jason this morning, so I don't
know the exact status of that situation.
As far as I can see, we had a working and well
performing solution
at the mid of december. Please bear with my for not reading
wikitech, I've got to much to do doing the editing part. But from my
point of view, all that needs to be done is to buy exact
replacements for the failed hardware we had in december. And I
don't think that should need that much time, given the funds we
(still) have.
I'd like to invite you to join wikitech-l, because we're well aware of
the things you're talking about and doing what we can. It doesn't
make sense for us to buy a lot of new hardware at the existing
facility when we are going to move. So, I'm loaning everything I've
got available to Wikipedia just as fast as I can make it available.
