Now I feel old. I've worked with some of those things.
- chiph 7y agoMe too. We had an Eclipse MV-8000 in college (the subject of The Soul of a New Machine [0]) and it was a nice computer. Later I worked with AS/400s, first the beige racks, then the all-black models. Still a nice machine today [1], and if you want something to run a mid-sized business "lights off", you should consider it.

- jcadam 7y agoWhen I was a kid, they did a family day at the facility where my mom worked... saw a Cray-2 actually in-use (it's a very distinctive machine, hard to forget). So, I'm pushing 40 and just old enough to have seen some of these things outside of a museum :)
