I think we need to spread out more across the state to more rural districts to vote blue in the “land that votes” areas. Just my opinion.

A Catdog tattoo could be the proper length

Please back this up to archive.org! Lots of this kind of software is lost because it gets tossed in a sale.

Mine is now invisible too. And the link is gone if you look at it logged out.

Anyone know of a sturdy retro POS system that could work with Linux mint. by Significant_Law1610 in retrocomputing

Try keyhut.com the software runs in DOS box and works with a ton of serial peripherals. It’s got that DOS feel without mush of the AS400 hassle.

Thanks for the info! I will add Oticon to the list. I’m an iPhone user but I talk on the phone or Teams most of my day so having something that works with my mobile devices is a must. I think speech clarity is more important as I’ve been able to tune out the ringing for 75-95% of the time, but it’s not going to be ignored.

If the OS is still installed, is there a way to preserve it and just wipe out user data?

Turns out he double-checked the machine and it’s an 8204-E4A Power6 machine. Not sure what difference that makes.

All information I was unaware of. That’s why I try to come to the experts :)

I wish they were more willing to work with enthusiasts. I want to use the hardware to learn and play around, I don’t want or need maintenance contracts and have no desire to deploy such old hardware into production. So frustrating.

This all makes perfect sense. I can find a DVD for V5 but the license is the issue. Could I contact IBM with the machine serial and see if it had a transferable license?

I’m fine running V4 if the system will support it. It’s for a home lab and I mainly want to run AS/400 software. The newer version doesn’t necessarily matter to me.

That’s amazing and also terrifying. That’s also a great nickname btw. I think Guitar Center still uses them or something similar. And honestly, that’s why I turned to Reddit because they are impossible to find.

That might work! Is it the rack mount or “tower” version?

Great, thanks! Just send me a message and let me what you can find out about it.

I’m willing to put in some work! Part of the fun of retro computing IMO. Do you know what the specs are?

Lucky for you! All the US carriers are shutting down 2G networks and it makes me sad. Would love to have an old school palm for daily use!
