Jaunty Jackalope Revisited

Click to get Jaunty Jackalope

After I installed Ubuntu 9.04 – Jaunty Jackalope, I posted a lengthy list of problems I encountered during and after the process. You can read it by clicking HERE.

I received a great reply from Rob laying out some important facts about updating a major distribution of most any variety.  I encourage you to read Rob‘s reply

It seems, however, that my experience with Jaunty was not unique.  My blog post has been ready by many other users looking for solutions.  Here is a partial list of search entries that resulted in finding and reading my post.

My CK722 Transistor

I’ve acquired an old Ratheon CK722 transistor several years ago. I knew it was a find when I got it, but then it sat, stored away, for many years.  Today I took some pictures of it and here they are.  If you have never seen one of these beauties, they are royal blue with a red dot on them.  It has a date code on it that says “542”  That means it was built in 1955 in the 42nd week.

The inside of the package has the strangest disclaimer.  It reads “The purchaser or lesee of this device shall not be granted by implication, estoppal or otherwise any license under the patent rightsof American Telephoneand Telegraph Company andits subsidiaries for any combination of another element orelements with such device.”

The CK722 started out costing more than $12.00 to purchase and later went down to $7.50.  WOW!  I have no idea what that is at the current rate, but it is expensive.  I could not find the current price of one of these gems.
