    That's amazing to know a lot of us have lived through all those changes and more.

    And I think about what my parents and their parents lived through. :o
    Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.

    Cool... but did you ever lug a Kaypro or Osborne around? ;)
    I had a couple of professors in grad school who had each of those luggables when they were quite the status symbol. :#

    The coolest single 'pute I ever used was a Tektronix 4051.
    It had this really hip on-board graphics using a storage display.
    It also had a built in firmware BASIC with a dynamic range of 10^-307 to 10^+307 (!?!)

    We actually ported some nonlinear regression analysis s/w (David Rodbard's LIGAND program) over to it from a DEC VAX platform because our datasets were so big we were overflowing the DEC BASIC interpreter with some of the matrix operations. B)

    That 4051 was built like a freaking tank, too.

    A DEC VAX.
    Boy do I remember them. I worked for them for 3 years.
    They paid to relocate me to Dallas back in 1992.

    Well -- I guess you could say that New Hampshire's "Old Man of the Mountain" was anchored to the mountain... it was part of the mountain. But that didn't end well. :(
