Here's a picture showing how I am going to install the new TCU (Truck Control Unit) in the '54. This baby will be cruising easy at 50MHz!

It's true. I really don't do anything but browse the Internet looking for trouble...

Steve: Think we will go for the upgrade to Windows for Workgroups 3.11.

The TCU will warn you: "You have applied the brakes - this can decrease fuel economy and increase wear. Are you sure?"

Mark: Blue Screen of Death - hey, the truck is blue - might be a good name for it. I can print a hex dump on the door...

Of course, in order to change the direction you are driving you will have to close all open windows :p

Not only that, Jeff -- he's using the wrong kind of RAM.
