I can hang 32 terminals off just one PC. You're still blowing your budget on standalones.

The cost for a computer, the gear you needed to get "online," and the cost to do so is insane. It's crazy how we're buying $1K phones every year, and have Apple Studio computers or whatever, but this is NOTHING compared

Show me the ex-Californian who moved to the middle of the country who wasn't surprised, and a bit upset, by the weather a few months later. "Snow" is not Big Bear on a sunny Saturday afternoon.

This. Not that I'm all about janky, but my road is littered with stuff I didn't think would make it through summer, and everything I check is still ticking 5, 7, 10 years later. LONG ago I was amused by a Sun box in a closet that

I've got no dog in this fight, but when I was getting paid for photos long ago I used something called Breeze Browser to do just about everything. Nothing did batch processing nearly as well.

I never saw an SGI in "personal computer" mode until the sun was setting - they were always being banged on by departments, or rendering 24-7. I'm jealous of anyone who had one to themselves when they were still a power. The

A guy started at a place I was at, and we realized we worked for some other company five years earlier. Quick lunch later, seems that the place I was at had not changed one iota from when I was there. Even when a middle manager moved or was

I was maybe six years old, and was at an overnighter in a military base auditorium space - this was a Cub Scout thing or something. At one point, we could tour the nearby areas, where work was going on (in the depths of the Cold War). In on

A parent started a used bookstore when I was kid in the 70s. I have no idea where the initial bunch of books came from, but we'd buy books and magazines, too. I spent the summer with a ton of MAD, Cracked, Cartoons, and when nobody was
