50 Year Old Computer Still Going
The Angry Mick writes "Geek.com is running a blurb on a 50 year old CSIRAC computer that is apparently still functional, if lurking in an Australian museum. Sporting a whopping 2K of RAM and screaming along at a blistering 300 khz(!) it proves the adage that they really don't make 'em like they used to . . ." Yes, because if they did, they'd be really, really slow.
another first post in the bizzity-bizzag.

Is it just me or is slashdot screwed up? I keep getting weird errors, etc.
It's easier to fight for one's principles than to live up to them.
I've been unable to login or post for the last couple of hours. Judging by the lack of increase of post-numbers on the story, I guess nobody else has either.
Ah, the reliability of open source
Something is weird with slashdot today.
Give it a rest guys , the gag has been flogged to death and more. Its gone past the boring stage and is well into the damn irritating stage.
In Soviet Russia, there were beowulf clusters of these, making first posts to slashdot..

It's impossible for me to post this reply too.
Oh no, I've been TERMINATED!
User account does not work!
Problem is that this joke was never that funny in the first place. If it barely even raised a grin for a few seconds I'd ba amazed. Now its just the last resort of losers who can't think of anything else to post.
You tell your wife beowulf jokes? Dude that's sad
ahem. his "wife."
better than talking to his palm, like you sir, lame joke or no
Guess what - flamebaits are getting old and boring too.
2 huge, throbbing k's of pr0n goodness :)~
In Soviet Russia old news is good news!
Unless we're specifically talking about the moon-landing thing which in Soviet Russia would probably get the editor shot :P
I am a leaf on the wind. Watch how I soar.
