Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

What can you say? Accidents happen....

I just thought that this gang would appreciate that I'm posting this from an old Win98 machine that I discovered while fixing up a few of my old audio rental machines to prep the to sell off. We even got this machine to recognize 512 MB of RAM. Who know Win98 would even see that much. Even more amazing, it had an old version of ProTools on it, so I was just running ProTools 5 on Windows 98. Yikes!

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

What's the difference between an Airport Extreme & external Hard Drive vs Time Capsule, aside from the all-in-one factor? It seems that internal hard drive feature comes at a pretty steep cost.

(yes, I'm thinking about buying stuff that I shouldn't)

The Extreme plus HD setup has a bad history of not playing well with Time Machine. It may be working now but it worked in an unsupported setup then they stopped it from working and after that I gave up on it. The drives connected to my Airport are just network storage now and not used for Time Machine.

Hey. New board.

I really liked Windows 98. Admittedly, it was the last version of Windows I really got to know well, and it was back when I kind of liked the process of wiping my drive clean and starting fresh. It was dual-booting with first Slackware then Gentoo Linux. At that point in my life, ease-of-use was actually a negative factor...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Gizmodo random retro post.

I had one of these! And a wee little printer that printed on thermal paper, and the requisite cassette player.

I, um, wanted one of those! Then I got my Radio Shack PC-1 pocket computer, with the printer/cassette interface. With regular (not thermal) paper.
