I'm still kicking myself for passing up an IBM mainframe and a Sun 2000
that my previous employer no longer needed. I reasoned that I didn't have
space or power for them; never let logic and good sense dictate your
actions :)
Connor picked a great learning experience... EE, CS, and other disciplines
such as civil engineering, all rolled into one experience.

I got to see that DG just after he picked it up in Akron. He stopped by
the Large Scale Systems Museum in New Kensington PA and we gave it a look
over and also discussed the docs he got with it and what to tackle first.
Now if only it had come with some of those cool blue/green DG terminals :)
I still remover the day he sat down in front of the HP 2116B, he had never
touched a blinking light front panel, he asked if Dave or I minded if he
erased the program in memory, we said no, he powered it on and 2 min later
was reading the programming docs for it and wrote a quick blinking lights
program in like 15 min.
Connor is a good guy!
