'My favorite platform' debate (was: Rack Mount Servers)

[Brian B. Riley (N1BQ) ListAcct]

	... hell ... as long as we are reminiscing about the good old days. The
first computer I worked on had a punched paper tape operating system that
paged 128 byte chunks into a 256 byte core memory space. All the "i/o" was
via a Flexowriter. The first major upgrade to the OS was when they started
delivering it on mylar tape so it only had to be replaced once a month or so
instead of twice a week!

   cheers ... bbr
