It Finally Happened
======
I have finally gotten around to duplicating that old pentium4 computer's hard drive and convertng it to a virtual machine - now delivering this gopher to the world. 

The drive had several bad sectors but I was still able to copy using dd and sending it across the network into the bowels of the supercomputer.

No more journeying into the basement to press F4 every time the system had to reboot. I also expect my electric bill to drop noticably since I have powered down ol' faithful.

So all is virtually as it was. (only better we hope)
