Wine is bad. It brings pain the next day. That's all I have to say 'bout that.

ONE WEEK until OCAU Paintball! Wolfy is no longer taking deposits, but might be lucky and get a place on the day. I'll be there, that should be incentive enough... I'm sure some people would love to shoot me.

If you're upset about the lack of cash in your bank account, some UK students have found a way to increase your balance.

From Mr. Bill, some software called VDMSound that will give you DOS sound support for NT, 2k and XP. Now you can dig out that copy of California Games and listen to all those old Soundblaster bleeps.

Sometimes, just for variety and to keep all our loyal OCAU followers happy, we bring in celebrity newsmonkeys and reviewers. Here's one that's still in production, but should be up soon. Hopefully before the second coming. Blessed be Lonewolf.

If you own a VIA Apollo based motherboard, and you're using the onboard AC97 audio under XP, you'll need this updated driver.

AMD and UMC seem to be holding hands in the area of chip fabrication, but nothing's totally confirmed yet.

Digit-life have released their October 2001 Hardware guide, part 2.

A rather interesting look at the linux distro game... thanks to Steve for the link.

Homemade cube cases are neat, especially when they're german. You'll need the 'fish to help out with this one. Oh, and Konni, you owe us a somersault.

Dr. Kildare has found a nifty article on how to make XP boot even faster. Always a good thing... and while we're on XP, Electic Tech (sic) have got a copy of Windows XP ISO Burner Powertoy for you to download. Neat.

Looks like school's out (ho ho, I crack me up) for lots of state departments in the US. They've been graded on their levels of IT security. Understand the school pun now? Bah, you're all completely hopeless. Don't look at me like that, Agg, I can so insult the readers, they love it! No, really! They lo-... hey, put me down! You can't do this!
