@kdfrawg I liked the old TRS-80s.

@larand Had an experimental computer later from a company called Syslink. It was about that size but had a plasma screen and an early 486-50. We called it the ECM pod because plugging it in would cause every TV in the vicinity to distort and snow up. They ever got the requisite approval to go to market because of that.

@matigo Compaq IIIs were like having a gym membership. "Lemme grab my …urrrrgh…..computer"

@matigo This, believe it or not, was my favorite machine for a while. Most people hated them though,,,,
// @jextxadore 
@matigo YEP! Sold them (In theory. Hardly anyone would buy them).
Used to lug one of these around…

@kdfrawg If you have to micro-manage every aspect of your employee's life, you have hired the wrong employee.

@larand Yeah. That sucks. I refuse to be "that boss" who treats employees like children. If they do things they aren't supposed to, we have "the talk". Seldom ever happens though.

@jextxadore That's my situation with this Air. It has been used heavily every day for five years and has been the least irritating laptop I have had the pleasure to use. Mind you, my experience with portables go all the way back to the original Compaq portable and the Kaypro so the sample size is huge :)
Going to compromise with myself. I'll wipe and re-install this weekend but I will put this thing out to pasture when the new ones ship with Sierra.
