I was a sys admin from Around 2006 to around 2014 and I used many of these things.
Our office still had (multiple) T1s, and ran on IBM as/400. When I joined in 2006, it was a startup.
Also: PCMCIA cards were definitely still around for much more than the 90s. I still have several coveted PCMCIA wifi cards that were supported by kismet.
- torgoguys 8y agoI never could remember what PCMCIA stood for (something about a memory card association, even though there ended up being lots of types of those cards beyond just memory). If someone asked me, I used the tongue-in-cheek alternative someone came up with of PCMCIA=People Can't Memorize Computer Industry Acroynms.
- nucleardog 8y agoI finally threw away my Proxim Wireless Networks Orinoco Gold 802.11b/g PCMCIA card I'd picked up in the mid-2000s just last week. It had an Atheros chipset and was useful for wireless sniffing, WEP cracking, and about everything else. I did, however, realize I haven't owned anything with a PCMCIA slot to put it into for more than a decade.
