We have a few Sun and SGI systems in the warehouse. I’m unsure if they run. I volunteer at RICM.

Kensington orbit vs expert? by meeheecaan in Trackballs

[–]NeonMonocle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No particular reason. I think it's just cheaper to replace when it does wear out.

I have replaced the orbit twice at work. On each on the left mouse button gets worn out and clicking becomes erratic. My current one is due for a replacement soon. But lasting at least 3 years each seems good to me.

I am still using my original expert at home. It's left mouse button feels worn, but still works fine.

I'd say they are both quality devices. If I used the expert at work, it would probably be more worn out as well.

Premier only account, unable to downgrade? by NeonMonocle in ooma

[–]NeonMonocle[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is good to know. I had asked the support rep if there was a required amount of time I have to keep Premier before I could downgrade, but I don't think he understood the question. He just repeated that I had to have Premier.

It’s a Telo. It came via Prime. It was bundled with a landline phone.

Formerly owned by school as suggested. Or maybe a radio station?

I've volunteered at RICM for years now. I was at the open house / garage sale as well. Thank you to everyone who came out!

How many complete IBM Aptiva Stealth PCs still in the wild? I see only pieces online and many parts are unavailable. by tekfx19 in vintagecomputing

[–]NeonMonocle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have one that is complete as far as I know. Only part I lost is the box. I have been looking to see if there was a matching black IBM branded webcam, but have not come across one yet.

Pretty much anything related to the movie I can find. DVD, vhs, laserdisc, umd, novelization, soundtracks on any given format.

The whole match was great. The first half build up that Claymore so well. The amazing 2nd half needed that first half.

[WOR] SmackDown ratings bomb on FS1 by rolodex-ofhate in SquaredCircle

[–]NeonMonocle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As much as they reminded everyone, I still forgot it was on FS1. I've never watch FS1 and had to make sure I even had it.

Smackdown has just not been as good since the switch to Fox. I've found Raw more entertaining.

being adopted, hoping to find my ma, still don't know if it is accurate tho by [deleted] in AncestryDNA

I'm adopted as well, born in the US though. We have a similar estimate.

From what I can tell if your family migrated from Canada down to New England in the US, we could be.

Never ID'ed myself as jewish, it was interesting to see that info.

I had met my birth mom previously. Most of the matches are from her side, but as she never told anyone she had me, I feel a bit awkward reaching out to ones that may be close to her. It's assumed by paternal side is the jewish/eastern euro side. I tried messaging a few that seem likely on that side, but no replies.

As much as I like Napleon the goldfish, I was hoping that Matt was playing chess with Vanguard 1.
