bccode 100000d1
Now that we are playing more games, I’ve seen Windows XP just die without any traps at all while running Unreal Tournament 2004 on a Pentium M 735 (1.8Ghz) and also Sim City 4 on an Athlon 2800+. It utters something stranges about BCCode 100000d1. Here’s how to figure out what is going on. It…

Sturtevant’s Sports Skiing Snowboarding Winter Sports . I just love Sturtevants. What a ski store should really be.

Tandems

Calvin’s reaction to all of this, “Hey DAD, please stop *torturing* the navigation system.” Never thought I’d get to torture a computer ;_)

For total drool factor, here’s a $7,000 (!!!) tandem that everyone can lust after…it id Dura Ace, but more important just 29 pounds for a tandem. That’s amazing. Co-Motion’s “Robusta” Tandem.
