Subject: Re: Living Computer Museum
I?ve been just kinda skimming along in this thread, I?ve been busy; Just wanna
make sure I have everything down...
0: If you sent anything to a museum, you?ve been fleeced - you?re an idiot.
1: If you didn?t send anything to a museum, you?re a hoarder - you?re an idiot.
2: If you send things to a museum they will be destroyed, museums are full of
idiots.
3: If you send things to a museum they will be taken care of, museums keep out
the idiots.
4: Museums are for physical display only and a proper museum will prioritize
long-term physical stability at the cost of operational capability.
5: Museums are for physical interaction only and a proper museum will
prioritize operational capability at the cost of long-term physical stability.
6: If you start or join an ongoing internet slapfight, you?re an asshole.
7: If you avoid starting or joining an ongoing internet slapfight, you?re a
coward.
10: I?m not an idiot, you?re an idiot.
11: No, I?m not an idiot, YOU?RE an idiot!
12: For having read this far, I am the biggest idiot of all.
Sound good?=
I was thinking pretty much the same thing and I think it just shows how futile some
threads are, although I am sure that wherever you stand on the arguments above, everyone
will agree that the loss of the LCM is a major blow.
I sold a complete Displaywriter system with at least 7 terminals and keyboards, and a 3278
terminal with keyboard to them some years back. I hope those don't wind up in the
skip!
