Howdy -
	I thought I'd give an update on my PC, the one that, except
for a few days around Christmas, has been powered up since before
Thanksgiving 1985. Remember I said earlier that I was occasionally
having problems getting the add-on 10 Megabyte hard disk drive to
come up to speed at power on and so decided to leave it on and avoid
the problem that way.
	Well, it hasn't skipped a beat yet! One thing that is important
in this is that I have wired up a reset button that I can hit if I do
something stupid that gets the machine hung; otherwise I *would* have
to power down to reset it. I just hit the reset button and it re-boots
(off the floppy disk - this is a PC-1, with the 64kbyte mother board).
	The monitor is also left powered on. It is the IBM monochrome,
and the only concession I make is to turn down the intensity to nearly
invisible when I leave at night. But it's doing OK, too.

PS - now watch: Murphy will probably come in when I leave tonight
     and break my PC. Sigh....
