This takes me back to former jobs. Yes, it’s boring, but it should make guys like me and Nibby happy and nostalgic.

Are we really being nostalgic for 2004 already? Seems like yesterday.

Also my government office is still rocking that equipment.

I was selling them (as an SE) 13 years ago and running them as a customer 12 years ago. Hard to believe my career has been going on that long.

Unf. Dat case. I want that enormous case and all I would put in it is a raspberry pi.

Nice! I just had a flashback to booting up SPARCstations and rackmount Compaq Proliant servers w/ SCSI drives. Some were running OS/2 2.0.

I used to own a Sun 3/110. deskside VME bus workstation. manufacture date 1986. It was being used as an email server until 2008.

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

I’d be using an SGI Indy for my desktop if I could. Just because they’re pretty.

I brought my Sparc 20 with me when I moved across the ocean.

I always liked the bulbous little O2s....

Man, I miss the hayday of SGI and Sun... sure the desktop systems are outdated now, but the industrial design is still interesting and they were just so well built... *sigh* fucking Oracle. (or More’s Law, y’know whichever... actually, weather the power increase in wintel desktops is to blame or not, lets just stick with “fuck Oracle”)
