   Just to give you an idea, we're talking replacing Core 2 Duo's with i5's as much as 7 years old. Some of the Core 2 hardware is still serviceable, but that tower ... not so much.

      And, you know, I try not to be a hater about JS/ES and heavy web apps, but when I load up Google Maps and all the fans just start losing their ever-heckin' minds going full bore, well, hmm.

         So, anyway, I've got the $PARENT of all rsync's running right now to effect my pivot away from the tower that failed to rise to the occasion (I got a tower because I wanted something I could add a USB 3 adapter in).

         So, that's going to take a while.

            One of the keys to all this is that the small form factor desktop I had been using had no provision for driving multiple monitors. Hmm, let me see ... Optiplex 745. This review I found is from December 2006.

            So, yeah. It had a good run.
