Humbling moments were a recurring theme in my first 10 years of employment. I was hired out of college with an Environmental Science degree to run the computer systems of a software startup. I was a computer hobbyist to be sure but had no f

I am told that DEC was providing network access for employees around Maynard, MA using a leased cable TV channel. The NABU device seems to be unidirectional, this was clearly bidirectional and was probably using CSMA-CD Decnet. I would love

Is it just mortgage rates or is it that moving down to the southern United States is not all that appealing for other reasons? There is clearly an amount of money that would convince me to move to "the US south" but as of yet nobo

Battery voltage does not accurately reflect capacity. Only a load test will determine battery health. Much like a body of water can be silted up and shallow, a battery will accumulate internal damage that prevents it from providing sufficie
