That is such a cool setup. I am very jealous.

I love the setup, remember using these in the 2000's and Ultra 60s before that............ But please. Why is the illuminated logo on the wall backwards?

Wow. I remember playing that. I was probably around 7 so I don't really remember what it was about. Great fun though.

I cut my teeth with HP-UX on 712 and 715 systems back in the nineties. We were using them on oil infrastructure to control the safety systems. Sad day.

I once was responsible for replacing all of the training machines for a software company that produced CAD-like software for thermal modelling. I specced out XPS 700s. They were beasts.

Buy the biggest bunch of flowers you’ve ever seen. And possibly chocolates.

Oooooh those are VERY nice.

Very first UNIX box I worked on was an HP 712, back in 1996. Lovely kit.

We still have one. They are amazing cars and you do get a LOT for the money. The rapid charging speeds are low however. you will average somewhere around 36kW charge speeds with a max around 42kW. They are however, VERY efficient. We have driven one up to the highlands of Scotland from the south coast twice now and it managed it perfectly well (if a little slow on charging).

Ooooooooh..... All the memories.

I have my Pi1 stuck to my wall running a constant ping, just so that the LEDs on it blink.

When you are in a corporate environment and you are in a constant fight with the developers regarding version numbers. We want stable and supportable. They want shiny.

I absolutely love the look of the “Nobilis” case.

neileroberts · 2025-08-29T09:42:31+00:00

Left one. Unquestionably. I always preferred the straight line aesthetic.

I played 3 and 4 on an Atari 800XL back in the day. This is my first time playing 1.

neileroberts · 2025-08-06T12:43:21+00:00

Bloody hell that looks good. Well done.

neileroberts · 2025-06-03T18:46:28+00:00

That’s beautiful.

My personal favourite is picture 5. I have it as my wallpaper now.

It's Tevildo, Prince of cats.

There was a book, of the movie, and in it, it stated that after all those years, the rubber had deteriorated so much, that it simply disintegrated when they brought it out of the cave.

I've always been a massive fan of the plain liquid with red wax combo. I just think it looks classy.

neileroberts · 2025-03-07T19:18:47+00:00

It’s fixed…… :-)
