Winter Scenes

I kept the original images for winter_scene2.jpg (326kb) and winter_scene3.jpg (407kb) if anyone wants the 1152x864 images for background purposes. The first four images were taken during the short trip to Mont Tremblant, while the last 2 were taken early in the morning near my parents' new home. Parliment Hill, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada

Christmas

Most of these pictures are self-explanatory...if you're not a relative, then you'll most likely want to move on to the next page! (This is what happens when I decide to wait 6 weeks before making my pages; I decide I don't have much to say about any of the pictures!)

Computers

When I got back to Jupiter at the end of December, I decided to rebuild my computers. I took the old 486dx33 computer (my original SCSI-based computer bought in 1993 when I worked at Pixel in Toronto -- AKA Atwood, Turtle, Pepper, and various other names over the years) and combined some of the parts with a slightly different IDE-based 486dx50 that Kathie had upstairs. The result is a "new" 486 with much more memory, a 3C509 ethernet card, CDROM, and my original Trident 8900C with 1mb of video memory. The one on the right, of course, is my current Pentium Pro 200 with 256mb of memory bought when I first arrived in Vancouver back in April 1997.
