The Test Machine is Down!

You may have noticed I've missed the last few AMD Catalyst releases. Unfortunately, this is due to a system failure on my test machine. It's either the mainboard or the PSU, but it won't even POST so I think it's just time for a new test system.
I'm writing this on my laptop. If you'd like me to resume my benchmark project, please consider making a donation!

UltraVNC 1.0.8.2 is a free, remote desktop application that allows a user to view and control the screen of another computer. I've been using this for years, and using it more often since I have an HTPC connected to my family HDTV. Who wants to stop their TV program so I can change settings on my computer? With UltraVNC, you don't have to interrupt other people's programming: just log in securely and away you go.
