clabretro's first foray into HP's corner of the old RISC UNIX workstation world. Back in those days, I was never as impressed by HP's workstations as I was by ones from SGI, Sun, and DEC. But I've gotta admit, this is a beautiful machine. www.youtube.com/watch?v=sAQt... #retrocomputing #unix

The first network I was exposed to was 20 Dell PCs connected to a NetWare 3.12 server via 10BASE-2 at the University of Guyana computer center in 1999. I was a technician there and remember swapping one or two bad NE2000 cards for new ones. www.youtube.com/watch?v=nNXz... #retrocomputing

Your eyes do not deceive you! The cat's out of the bag: I've been collaborating with the @bluescsi.com project to make the enclosure and front panel originally designed for PicoIDE common to both! I collabed with @eric.scsi.blue on code and @gutbomb.net did the 3D design. jcm-1.com/product/blue...

My first job as a teen back in 1997 was at a small computer store operated out of a garage that sold Gateway2000 desktops and Toshiba laptops to gov't agencies and NGOs in Guyana. (And by small I mean the owner, the receptionist and me.) The machines ran well and I loved the cow spotted branding.

After using Task Manager in Windows NT 4.0 for the first time and then going back to Windows 98, my life just wasn't the same. I now knew there was a better way to live. Even if that way meant sacrificing Device Manager. youtube.com/watch?v=yQyk... #computerhistory #windowsnt #microsoft

BlueSCSI 🤝 PicoIDE Welcome to the truly open hardware & open source retro storage revolution. We've worked together to make this awesome front panel work in both PicoIDE and BlueSCSI.

Pro tip for Linux /Unix users: Once you are done with administering your box, always end an elevated session by running the `sudo -K` command. This prevents unauthorized use by others if you leave your terminal open. Apart from that, it is useful for testing your scripts & other admin commands (1/n)
