Philco, a music player, died of Hard drive failure Monday (July 27, 2005) in the line of duty at the Integrity office. He surrendered a brave effort fighting the blue screen of death. He was 5 years old.
Philco spent his first few years on Windows ME doing lightwave 6.5 renders in Sprinfield, MO. After an early retirement Philco moved to St. Louis where he went through several reformats and spent his last few months serving as the Integrity's music server.
Philco was an avid Elvis fan despite iTunes attempt at a random playlist.
Phil was an acquaintance of mine. We met only once or twice, but he left an indelible impression on me. In spite of his finicky USB dial, I'll always remember him as a handsome chap whose desire to make those around him happy was an inspiration to electronics cutting edge and obsolete.
