We've run into each other at various New England User Groups, and always enjoy talking tech things like booting from VHD on an external ThinkPad drive, or using eSATA to temporarily run another…

After 6 successful years testing and shipping well over 1,000 Xeon D Bundles, Wiredzone had to stop selling them in mid-2021 due to cost, supply, and logistics challenges. So far, Xeon D-1700/2700 (Ice Lake D) solutions are looking very promising for 2022, and I'm glad Pat Gelsinger is at Intel's helm. AMD successor to 2018's AMD EPYC Embedded 3000 Series seem too far off.
