New Apple commercial is out!
@thrrgilag With some of the changes under the hood in Linux, I see it going down the same path to baroque train-wreck as Windows.
In my elderly years, I will probably be huddled over a BSD machine in some nursing home, loudly complaining to anyone who passes that we did things better in my day and would you please change my diaper.

@kdfrawg Before I die, I'd like to see a bunch of "fat cats" skinned.

@kdfrawg There is no positive to monetizing incarceration. None. It is incompatible with capitalism. Capitalism seeks growth. This is not a "industry" where growth is in any way moral or ethical.

@matigo Can you imagine the noise and jet wash that comes from that thing?

@matigo I have to set up one again and soon.
I have that customer in Florida who's on a MS-DOS system and I need the data off it so I can convert it into something from this century and install it on a new PC.
He'll be mailed a modem, cable and some telecom software on a 5.25" floppy.
The BBS computer will be plugged into our fax line.
He will be walked through uploading the data via ZModem.
This is why I have a hard time finding help. These are the kinds of situations that occur in our neck of the woods. It's the tech equivalent of asking a potential hire, "Can you shoe horses?"
@matigo I was largely BBSing still back then. RIMENet and FIDOnet for mail, etc.
