I can pick up Sparcstation IPXs, IPCs, and Classics all for about 10-30$ on ebay . Just a little bigger than a dream cast and they look like the have a purpose. (Not to mention hard drives.
Hell, just drop one right in the middle of the IT department. We've always got wierd shit on our desks doing God knows what.
I see people using photoshop working on 1GB files.
If you do digital press work you typically work in CMYK mode with different layers. Everything is kept separate and you work at very high resolutions and scale down at the end. If he was working say on the weekend at home he would still need to keep it "clean" before sending it to work to prepare it for printout.
I run a webserver and IMAP on my cable line. When they forced everyone to DHCP last year, I just took the first IP I received and made it static. Never had a bit of trouble. The only thing that I have not been able to use at all is PPTP. Apparently they block that. I run Poptop on my firewall which I could make run on any port if I wanted, the problem is the laptop I use has Windows on it and you can't change the VPN port. >:(
You win this round... Outlander!
300mm is kinda big. Did you man 300nm? Still. IBM is a contractor for many fabless companies that need chips stamped out. Cyrix used to be one of them. I'm sure fabless video card chip makers also would make good use of this. I'm still waiting for nVidia to make a video card with a 1GHz clock.
I've hated iomega for a while. The superdisk WAS the future but they marketed their zip drives in a way that put the superdisk out of the OEMs systems.
The latest incarnation of the super disk can do a 240mb superfloppy and a 32mb write once floppy.
How cool is that? Turn an ordinary floppy into a 32mb disk!
But he needs a tan.. Linus "Topless" Not lets not let this happen again!

Note that they list CD-ROM.
I could fit all of those on to a floppy with room to spare using a NES / SNES emulator. Unless they add FMV cut scenes like they did with the old Final Fantasy games.
The first time I saw it I read To whom the sores flow openly. Which could be kinda true if you're just sitting in your chair 10 hours a day compiling, tuning and other wise ruling the network:)
If you are into biking or mountain biking, just rig it to run off your wheel. That way it will charge much more quickly.
For that matter, I could rig it to an office chair to make good use of those occasional office chair races.:)
I used to work at a small computer store and one day I was bored and the guy next to me had just fired up a customer's system after replacing some part. So I tossed a quarter on to the motherboard. I got 5 points! I hit something that made the system power down. He got mad at me and said "What the hell are you doing!? That's someone's computer!" I said "Relax...." and hit the power button and everything was back to normal. Nothing like a good old 430TX chipset. It really bounces back.
When I was young, my dad brought home something that looked like a large plastic film canister with a handle on top. It had an 18" platter inside. He said they were throwing them out and going to try this new system called the "IBM PC"
I've been saying for years that we need a hard drive with multiple independent heads. Lets take it a step further and put 4 voice coils in the drive. Make one set of heads R/W and the other 3 read only. (I wouldn't trust multiple R/W heads something would be bound to screw up)
Yeah and all the flight sim pilots claim that getting shot down was due to lag induced by running an old set of Detonator drivers and not by getting sniped.

You can boot NetBSD on old Cisco routers :) That would certainly be an option.

30K a second... Lucky bastard. In my area, At&t caps uploads at 12K a second. *Sigh*

Wow beaming sound from one location to another. That was something Marconi could have only dreamed of!
Itanium (anyone remember processor?) support as well.

Hmm. Seems to work fine for me.
as long as Flash designers stick to the vector-based graphics and ActionScript I honestly can't remember those days.
I assume that also means electrically compatable? If not I wouldn't say fully.

I wonder if that is covered under Dell's "Complete Care" warranty that covers intentional damage?
