@hybotics I forwarded eee-eye-eee.io to 10C and mirror posts from gtwilson.net to it.

@hybotics Well, they did have a POSIX compatibility layer. It was..cute.

@kdfrawg The most painful was running a USENET feed off a NT4 Server box. It's as if the Compaq Proliant was screaming, "Killllll Meeeeee". Just like that scene in "The Fly"

"You got your wish. There it is. Now, can we throw this crap out and file the whole debacle away as a brainfart?"
"Yes", was the answer.

@literary It's a shame there isn't a telecommuting option of some sort.
