There's an HP-01 on eBay for $1400. I don't know if any actually sell at that price, but it's half the price of a new one in 1977 factoring in inflation.
But then, even more than now, dev couldn't happen at all without ops / tape apes. Developers would submit requests for tape loads, print jobs (when they actually were "jobs" queued to a line printer) and an operator would load the appropriate tape to the drive(s) or the required stock to the printer(s).
I worked as an op at a local college for a while about 15 years ago where this model was still operational. We had one line printer to print class schedules, roll sheets, transcripts, program listings, etc. And we still used reel tapes for some records along with some DLT.
Have you actually run Linux on one of these machines or are you just talking out of your ass?
I have a UX305, installed Debian on it the moment I unboxed it and aside from the widely noted problem with the screen brightness keys, for which there are a number of workarounds, everything worked perfectly without any more configuration than you'd need to do in Windows.
I fell in love with Unix in my college computer lab in the mid-90s. I really wanted to be able to have a similar system at home. Some of the guys there were using Linux to run a BBS, which evolved into the first ISP in our area. I got Slackware floppies and assistance from them and soon enough I was running Linux too! It's been my more-or-less full-time desktop (and everything else) OS since that time.
My greatest joy these days is discovering an album or even an entire artist's repertoire from the 70's that should be widely known and considered classic but somehow slipped through the cracks. It's amazing how much good music is out there from 40 years ago that so few have heard. Bittorrent is your friend.
I used Drudge as the example because he was the first to publicly cry "foul" at Feinstein. I don't read Drudge and I'm not a member of any political party, Republican or otherwise.
Obviously you have no argument against what I posted, or else you'd reply with something other than an ad hominem attack.

You’re starting to get it.
Steam works perfectly on Debian testing as well.
I bet you’re fun when going out for sushis. ;p
Are any studios shooting 8K porn though? Only a few are even doing 4K AFAIK.
Thanks for that. I'll never have a boner again.
I'd have started with lasers - 8:00, day one.

They used Bud because if if it wrecked, burst into flame, and burned down to the ground nothing of value would be lost.
Point me to the version of Edge I can install from the Debian repos.... Yeah, not a contender.

Everybody over forty that I know, aside from my mom, smokes pot.
If they're anything like Bender, they should probably start.
Do sockpuppets dream of electric shills?
Some call it a theater, some call it an abattoir, I call it a win-win.

I still hate VMS.

No wonder they're called Fox Con.

I really Miss XM's "Deep Tracks". Since the merger the Sirius/XM "8-tracks" is a pale imitation.
I, like Kirk, always had a crush on Janice Rand. It's sad to see her go.
AKA California in ten years.
Obviously the organizers of the the con were insufficiently generous in their "donation" to the "Providence Firefighter's Widow's Support Fund".
The only reason Providence city government exists is as an engine of graft.
How did I miss this halcyon era when Internet ads were "fun and informative"?
In the immortal words of Calvin, "verbing weirds language".
