@matigo I seriously miss my old, square-wave UPS. The power was a bit on the dirty side but it was powered by a full-sized, deep-cycle, marine battery. I would keep a workstation and monitor up and running for days. Only big drawback was the weight. Seventy-five pounds.
@streakmachine Part of me wants to dig my old Zentih Z-248 or Z-286 out of mothballs and play with it.
My luck, one of the only working examples of a full height Seagate ST-4096 would die in my arms. (The ST-251-1 in the Z-248 will probably outlast me)
@streakmachine Ehhh. Windows 95 'A' build. Introduce a little mystery to your life. "Will today be the day it lunches itself and I have to re-install?"
Looking over my shoulder at a weekend of chili dogs and mountains of other things as I try to catch up on eating.
Sick since Christmas Eve with a chronic condition that decided to flare up. Lost fifteen pounds.
Quickly finding them again as I look cadaverous when my weight drops to the 220 lb (99 kg) range.
Feeling so much better.
@matigo Guilt keeps me where I am. If I leave, the company will most likely collapse. And, that is my own fault, so I cannot complain.

COVID, combined with a mother on continuous feed oxygen and twenty percent lung capacity made for a difficult phone call last night.
This will be the first time in over fifty years that I don't make it "home for the holidays".
Not worth the risk to her.
@matigo I still think the old, MS-DOS version of the software I wrangle is miles ahead of the modern in terms of stability and utility.
