YADA10YR (Yet Another Discussion About the 10 Year Rule)

I agree with the "Coolness clause". I guess I like hardware that is not
the usual Dell/HP/Gateway crap. After working on that multi-giga-hertz
junk all
day and battling the lastest worm/virus , I have to go home to a
refreshing session on my 33mhz R3000 Iris indigo or my 33mhz Turbo
Dimension NeXT Cube.

Now this is OT but I think it's cool. My company outfitted all the
service techs with Tablet PC's last week for record keeping in the
field. We actually got them before the suits and sales droids. I will
have to admit, they are cool. It's the closest thing to an electronic
notebook I've ever played with.
