Yeah - I recall that the number of characters printed would tell you where it failed.

This time of year is ripe for nostalgia. I recall that it was just about this time in 1993 during Christmas break that I loaded Linux version 0.96(?) onto this 386SX machine. This involved taking a stack of 1.44MB floppies and driving to a

You were living large! My first Linux computer was a 20Mhz 80386SX with a 40MB hard drive partitioned half for Windows 3.0 and half for Linux (SLS) and swap. It had a whopping 4MB of RAM and I also compiled my own kernel making sure to trim

The shrimp is so small, it would be hard to get a photo, but it looks pretty much like the "Small Sphere" from the link above.

I bought one of those small "EchoSphere" water globes[1] back in 2002. It originally had 3-4 little shrimp and algae. within a few months, all but one of the shrimps were gone. But now, nearly 17 years later, the one remaining shr
