Re: Problem with our Victor?

Hey all,

Thanks a ton for the advice, especially the mitosis bit. That led us to believe that you might be on to something there so we called in a specialist (an electronics biologist who knows about Victor reproduction). Turns out that it's actually undergoing meiosis so we're going to try to splice them by soldering them together. We calculated the % yield of majic smoke (we checked the spelling on that and it's actually "majic") and we're coming up about 12 cc short of the needed amounts. So we still need more of that (IFI is back ordered until 2009 and majicsmoke.com doesn't carry the old stuff anymore. Does overstock.com have it?).

We also attached some magnets to get the electrons to orbit the right way and installed Redhat because it supports the Beowulf Cluster configuration emulator but every time we try to tape it back together it flanks the adhesive and massacres it before it even touches the Victor (can you set the aggressive setting to "passive" or anything?), oh yeah, it also killed all our trunk monkeys and they smell really bad.

Hope you guys have some ideas because we're helpless without this speed controller.

Thanks,
The Ned Pirates
