The "nolist" folder

For most of the file folders on this site, when I add a file, or update it, the file appears on the main page of the blog as a new posting. The "nolist" folder is different: the software will never add a new or updated file in this folder (or subfolders) to the main page. So I can use it for pages which I intend to repeatedly update, but are not thereby novel enough to be listed on the main page.

  • PC Connection are not cheap, but they're easy to deal with and they have a solid range of stock. For instance, try searching for network test equipment. PC Connection
  • Tiger Direct are the *opposite* of PC Connection. They sell remaindered and "pre-sold" inventory often missing essential accessories, warranty cards, etc. On the other hand they often advertise interestingly quirky gizmos at low, low prices. Gamble. A wide range of motherboards, and one of the few places selling motherboard/cpu combos as well as "barebones". Tiger Direct
