[Novalug] Super Tweakfest, Instalzilla.......

[jerry w]

MicroCenter has/ had a build class, which
is how I built the 64 bit machine that  I'm
typing on, now several years ago.

NoVALUGGers (and UMLUGGERs)
showed up and helped,
in selecting parts from the store,
steering me in the right direction,
and MicroCenter bent on the
must install M$ on the new hardware
(all I want is M$ Win 98, do you sell it?  ;-)
I'd purchased and put together,
with copious help...

I'm not sure the software vendors
would like that at Dulles Expo
events, but give it a try...
