[ale] OT: Woah, retro!

Wed Feb 19 00:54:50 EST 2003

Reminds me of my ol' 3/60 with the 20" trinitron.  64M comprised of 8x8M DIMM's, and external _everything_.  At the time I bought it I actually convinced some guy that owned a surplus comany to self finance me for it. This was only shortly after I decided I wanted something cooler than Coherent for intel :)

Ah, the days when you actually had to _work_ to have your own unix box.. it's all so easy now. We are _all_ such geeks, as I asked Russ earlier, I'll give anyone here 10 geek cool points if they remeber what a Fossil driver was.

-G

Geek cool points not redeemable for prizes, cash value 1/10000th of 1 cent. Not valid in Tennesee, can not be combined with any other offer.

Still in my basement is my old, revered Sun 386i, with 400M disk, 
who knows how much memory, and a huge (21"?) monochrome monitor.

(sigh) I learned UNIX on this machine.  What happy memories...
