[geeks] IBM website shows Sun workstation in compute breakthrough

[Andrew Weiss]

Ah me beloved NMR... NMR's rock.  The one I used as an undergrad was made
in the 70's and was my main exposure to 8" floppies.  Huge boards with
what looked like jawbreakers and other assorted hard candies as the
circuitry components...giant 100MB solid state hard disk whee,
cryogenically cooled with liquid Nitrogen.  God I wanted to rip that thing
apart and study it inside and out.  I felt like a NASA mission controller
operating it.  When I finally got to work in the pharma industry we had a
far more boring Varian 400 hooked to a Sparc 5.

There are, of course, thousands of people who claim to be sys admins who
have the single "skill" of working it out from a gui tool. Ask these people
to move 500 users accounts or 300 virtual hosts from one machine to another
and they are as useful as chocolate firemen. -- Anonymous Coward on Slashdot
