- In August 2001, the hard disk died and could not be resurrected. As mooneye was only a 5x86 with 32MB of RAM, we rebuilt it from scratch around a dual pentium 90 motherboard that was not yet assigned a task. Since there was no significant common links between this system and the old mooneye, it should've gotten a new name.
