Definitely looking to see a follow up on this one.

Not as interesting as some of the others that you have been finding.

Awesome. Great to hear that it worked. How are you enjoying Azure?

Both Amiga and Atari machines where the height of cool in the late 80s. Those were some sweet machines.

You find the most archaic stuff. Serious trip down memory lane, though.

Seems like it must be a driver issue. Or a conversion issue.

Did you get a chance to try it? I am interested in hearing feedback on it.

That has just been waiting to happen, really.

Step in the right direction. Tiny step, but a step.

That is encouraging. Too bad there are no comparative metrics.

I saw this one on Spiceworks. We are definitely finding things at a pace like never before. Very encouraging.

I've always liked FreeNAS. It is solid and easy to use.

So much for all of my DOS apps.

In the article they act like this impacts a lot of people. That is pretty surprising. I wonder what sixteen bit apps remain in common usage.

So I reading another forum and it was a guy trying to.... Well honestly I never figured out what he was doing. But it was something involving storage on Linux, at least partially. But he couldn't even ask for help because he didn't understand what he was trying to do and was misusing terms in confusing ways ... It was bad.

His excuse was "well what do you expect, I don't know Linux." He, that's fine. Everyone needs to be a newbie first, right?

But really, that is just a lame excuse. Looking at his issues - every technology term he didn't understand or misused, all of his confusion.... Was with Windows terms and technology. NTFS, drive mapping, mounting devices, shares, SMB, HyperV. I'm not really sure why Linux was even involved.

But I feel that this is often why Linux gets a bad rap. He blames Linux when he doesn't understand the basics even on Windows.

Two game sales in one day. You are killing me.

Just what I need, another vacuum attached to my wallet.

I have always felt that Cringley doesn't make that publication look very serious.

There was IT before the Internet?

I see that the speculation is that either Intel or AMD will be sourcing the chips.
