I think it was only part of a CM-1, like just the front of the case and maybe the blinkenlights, nothing functional. and i think that's where the "server cleaning tips" came from as it was utterly filthy


this had to have been at least 10 years ago possibly longer why do I remember so much useless bullshit

i remember this thread. He had the baby Thinking Machines and a Round Cray and a few others that weren't really worth remembering. What made it hilarious was the literal computer janitoring, talking about which surfaces got hit with 409 and which got the Armor-All and how to deal with that deep down grime you found in the bottom of the seats on the Round Cray.

I believe the blinkenlights are all attached to the far edge of a fairly deep PCB so he must have had at least 1/8th of the thing.

when it was posted in the secret santa thread it did indeed have a link to purchase a book version. older versions of the thread are in the op of the newest, good luck rummaging it up!

I actually think that might be one of the first threads I posted in in yospos

the whole “taking control of a bot net and popping up an image of bill cosby to people downloading porn and taking a screenshot” thing was pretty funny. choosing billy c as the image was a bit prescient looking back.
