 Sunday Afternoon Solaris Install. Now that I have modern Macintosh hardware, I gutted my PowerMac 9500 and put its innards (G4, EIDE card, USB, 256mb memory) into an easier-to-service 7500 case, and loaded it up with Mac OS 9 (on a SCSI drive) and Mac OS X 10.1 (on an EIDE drive). It's boxed up, and will be shipping out to my stepson soon as his first Mac OS X box. The 9500 now has a 132mhz 604e card in it, considerably less memory, and a tiny SCSI drive. It's relegated to the basement now until I find the time to soup it up a little bit.
So, that leaves my desk with one less computer plugged into the 4-way SVGA switch, and the SPARC 10 moves to the top of that stack. I've been putting off installing Solaris 9 on that machine, and I figured what better thing to do on a Sunday? Well, that, and take a swim in the ocean, which I'll be doing at 5:30pm, by which time they usually stop charging at Narragansett beach and (more importantly) most of the visitors are on their way home or out to eat, so the beach is much less crowded.
