Rumor has it that Chris M may have mentioned these words:
this is going to sound like a real silly question, and
I really should have written it down, but I payed a
visit to this guy in S.Jersey that had a bunch of
stuff, mostly pretty OT peecee stuff, but he had this
one large thing tucked away beneath the rest of the
stuff. 3 letters duh System 3000 IIRC (and that's a
big if).
Not "duh" -- that was prolly "DEC" - short for Digital Equipment
Corporation. Doubtful you've ever heard of the company on _this_ list
before... ;-)
I have a DEC System 3000 Model 300 at home... nice machine. Had Tru64 Unix
on it for the wife. Gotta love not worrying about spyware or viruses! :-)
Sadly, the framebuffer didn't have enough colors for true-color, and when
the wife wanted to view more pictures & stuff on the web, she wanted an
upgrade. Ah well, a Compaq dual-processor server & a 32Meg PCI video card
w/Linux to the rescue...
Still have the box & 19" monitor, tho. Heavy sucker that it is...
Assuming I actually get a job soon (Supposedly, the longer I wait to hear
if I have the job, the better chance I have of getting the job... weird
logic, but it's for "da man") and can afford to go to a VCF or two next
year... it may be available for cheap. Right now I can barely afford a pot
to cook in... let alone petrol for the 4x4. Shipping is out of the question...
Laterz,
Roger "Merch" Merchberger
