It's in regular unofficial use at the laser mine, and helpful on automotive connectors. Have I mentioned that the l-m uses at least one Win-3 box, and one Dos 6 box, which works far better than the box next to it, which has a hole bored in Win-7 or something, to run the Dos prompt, and a Dos file manager? The future is here, and walking around all hot and proud, with a bit of tp stuck to it's heel.

"We have done so much with so little for so long, we are now able to do anything with nothing." <br /><br />But it was important enough that you canceled your vacation. <br /><br />Or to put it in the terms the cost-accounts would like... "If it isn't important, why are we spending money on it?"<br /><br />Hope you get to enjoy the rest of the week. (It is a beautiful, sunny day in Ohio. For a change. Not that it will last.)Zendo Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00094772654735415974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-54461490559309405962018-09-28T00:43:26.983-04:002018-09-28T00:43:26.983-04:00Well...Zendo Deb, the thing I was working on isn&#...Well...Zendo Deb, the thing I was working on isn't the Big Top, it's more like a sideshow. Pretty much all of it is running on either spare capacity, or stuff that would otherwise have gone into a dumpster, which I have kept running long after manufacturer support ended.Roberta Xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09956807794520627885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-15719708485578211522018-09-27T21:56:20.264-04:002018-09-27T21:56:20.264-04:00I really wish that I could talk to the people in c...I really wish that I could talk to the people in charge of the budget. (Or slap them, but talking would be a good start.) <br /><br />Something that is important.<br />Something that is no longer supported.<br /><br />That sounds so much a Windows system running an un-patched version of NT just waiting for WannaCry.<br /><br />I'm guessing that no one does risk assessment/disaster-recovery planning. (Aside from you that is, and sounds like no one listens.)Zendo Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00094772654735415974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-67012676982856876832018-09-27T20:08:50.944-04:002018-09-27T20:08:50.944-04:00So, a couple days vacation after all?
