maddmaxx ★ Posted September 28, 2020 Share #1 Posted September 28, 2020 My computer is scheduled for delivery today. The item is shipped Amazon. It left New Jersey sometime around midnight. No further news so I assume that it has been passed on to the 11th runner by now and is approaching New York. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did I miss the new computer spec discussion thread this week? I guess if it is an Apple, that pretty much ended the discussion before it began?

IMO this is a Murphy's law result caused by my tearing down the entire computer wall in the secret lab, cleaning up and readying the space for the new computer. Coupled with waiting all day for it's arrival this was inevitable, Fortunately the weather is not good for drag race testing so there are no chargers to run and no data readouts to display. The launch is on hold at T-15 pending the resolution of the problem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maddmaxx ★ Posted September 29, 2020 Author Share #7 Posted September 29, 2020 And found again. Out for delivery between 6:30 and 8:00 am. On the GPS tracker already. Headed this way at about 65 mph. Probably not a drone delivery though as it's following the interstate system. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bikeguy Posted September 29, 2020 Share #12 Posted September 29, 2020 How many Windows updates were sent to you? 18 minutes ago, maddmaxx said: How powerful is this machine? That has always amazed me. The must be a lot of torque. Interesting how the tire footprint gets huge when the tire needs the most traction. And the diameter of the tire is smaller now, then expands a lot at the top end of the track. Kind of like a granny gear when needed. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's about 11,000 hp being applied and look at the square footage of tire on the ground. That's why they do that. Count the screws in the edge of the rim that are locked into the tire bead like teeth just to keep the wheel from spinning inside the tire.

maddmaxx ★ Posted September 29, 2020 Author Share #14 Posted September 29, 2020 This has been one of the easiest setups evar. I scrapped all the bloatware that was still on the old machine. I've installed only what I need on this one. It's so freaking fast that restarts take about 10 seconds down to up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
