   Did you adjust your resolution to compare? the 15" CRT was usually 800x600 or 1024x768 in those days.

   I honestly find the skepticism about human activities in space to be annoying. And it's been going on for many decades. A lot of people seem to be automatically skeptical about space. They somehow think that investing in space is takin

    I love TUI (as in text-based user interfaces) so much more than GUI. It always felt like a far more peaceful and productive environment.

    4 months to get back on track organizationally after laying off 17% of the work force? That seems pretty realistic actually.

    Raising the original equipment might not have been possible, and likely would've only been a temporary solution as the tree could keep growing taller.
