Sir Sidney Poitier: Aug 14, 2006; My favourite actor

Have a mainframe. As you can see from one of the screens, this one is currently running. I came across this in Telecity Sovereign House in London. Note also the 3 beautiful keyboards - the one on the left is the IBM Model M that we know and love (and the same as the one this was typed on), but it looks like the other two are the IBM Model M 1397000 122-key versions.

Couldn't use those fm adapters because there isn't a single "empty" radio station where I live.

When I bought my latest car, an aux port was a must.

I've used one of these almost every day for the last 2 years. Pre-2005 Volvos, whilst excellent cars, are cursed with behind-the-times stereos with no auxiliary inputs. And when I got it several cars ago FM transmitters were illegal.
