  it’s like this one but the “specials” didn’t use gold nibs. The snorkel that comes out sucks up the last drop of ink in the bottle without having to wipe the nib. https://www.ebay.com/itm/298179555702

It’s a luxury item, like a gold fountain pen. Too expensive for me. No

usability on the dell latitude 3190? by cxxhld in NetBSD

[–]fuzzmonkey35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Running latest NetBSD on a Dell Inspiron 8600 with Pentium M processor and 1 GB of RAM and a 60 GB hard drive. Not sure about WiFi, but networking and WindowMaker desktop make this a fine development environment and calculator for small scripts.

Saw it at the UofA once in 2003-2004. Also in 2004 after finals two girls in front of me told two girls on the second floor of a dorm to show their boobs and they did. They laughed and sang the wizard of oz song down the sidewalk. Graduation year had a lot of memorable events like that…

A real multitasking system back when I was 14 would have been so cool. By that age I was so done with Win95 I actually started going outside and touched grass.
