Good news indeed, my friends:  I was able to download the Linintosh 
package.  It made me glad  to have had something to do today as I am in 
the midst of a long Saturday at work babysitting a machine whilst
occaisionally collecting performance datum.  Good times.

I am looking forward to giving this process a go, although it will 
probably no occur for the next couple of weeks, as my free time is in 
demand.

I had a bit of an out of body experience, as I used my computer at work 
teathered to a mobile phone to remote a computer in my workspace to give a 
shot at downloading the Linintosh package to yet another computer hosting 
my network attached storage so that I could revive my ancient and ailing 
Macintosh. I was travelling miles without leaving my body, Digitally 
astral projecting myself to my target and while doing so I began to believe 
that my silver cord had a CAT-5 connection on the end.

Not a bad start really.  Established a foothold on retro-net Webspace
and Gopherspace from my Meatspace workspace in a single afternoon. The
backstory goes a little something along the lines of this:  

A week ago my buddy sent me some digital audio cards for a Macintosh
that he'd been hoarding for some time. That prompted me to actually
place an old Mac that I had in the work space back into service. Even 
though the old box had no OS on her, I knew I already had the answer.
I had read all about it in one of my favorite reads: 300 BAUD Magazine.

The first issue was like magic, really.  I had gambled and won big 
because the magazine aligned directly to my style and content 
preferences, but the big haul was the article about Linintosh.  I knew
I'd be using Gavo's method to my advantage.  I hope that I will still
be able to at some point.  It seemed that the all the resources for 
the Linintosh package had dried up as I tried to download them this
week.

I am not complaining though.  Nothing should be expected to be quick
in the retro world, and I am OK with that because of my experinces with
building my Apple IIe.  Parts and answers come in their own time, like
a Jungian latticework of synchronicity.  I'm hoping eventually I will
come across that file, though.  But there's still plenty to keep me 
entertained.  I guess that's why I like tinkering on the old stuff, 
because you can always shift your focus to something else that needs
doing.
