What more can I say?

22 08 09 - 02:06 Ok, so I guess the LCDs didn't quite get into the post fast enough to make it here on Friday. I expect they'll be here Monday/Tuesday.

Anyway, I installed the full 76GB X-Plane on my desktop... and you thought Crysis had a large install! My GTX275 has been running perfectly (there's some texture bugging issues, but I think that's an issue with the beta version of X-Plane instead - I didn't get it before I updated to the beta). I have a Logitech WingMan Formula GP steering wheel (why is a wheel named WingMan?) set up to provide it's pedals as rudder pedals (for some reason on Windows, you only get the axis that is a combination of the two pedals, but on Mac, you get the left pedal, the right pedal and the combination axis... odd), as well as my Saitek Cyborg 3D joystick.

Also, I found out something interesting today - some models of AVR are capable of addressing external SRAM. So the final StackBook will almost certainly not have an ATMega32 in it - as it is not one of those models. I'm going to need more than 2K of RAM.

I think that's about it.
