from the past ? uh, actual insight from the m$-windooze development headquerters instead ! how one can see this ? well, it must be win-development, because : a: only one in-/output terminal can be used at any time b: for every person working on it you need ad least one technican for support (the person on the left) c: they are just installing the new win version ! this fact is acknowleged by the huge amount of tapes in the back ! ("please insert tape "win install tape #19 of 176" to continue....") d: they are still trying to get at least one installation to work. to avoid confusion with actual hardware the development takes place on theyre standard win dev platform, as you can see.... e: on the upper left side i guess there is a tape missing. that must be the tape containing their brand new, "no-install-without-number-safe" version of win xp that showed up the last days in some newsgroup. this explains why this version is installable without any number. it simply was a backup ! ;-) greets, chris -- visit me at http://mamalala.de

Actually, that image comes from the Bell Labs Web Site. The person sitting at the teletyper is none other than Ken Thompson, "The Father of UNIX" The image was taken circa 1972. - v -- Victor R.

For interest, what is that machine ? -- Geoff Bagley
This following is for those who enjoy equipment lists and who like to tuck these away for when they wish to build their next pc. Anyway - here is what the pc contains. mobo ASUS A7A cpu AMD Athlon 750mhz (Tbird) HDD 2-Maxtor 80gb 5400rpm cooler Artic Cooler for cpu and for HDDs ram 2 - 128mb siemens infineon PC133 raid Promise FasTrack Ultra AT100 set for RAID-0 NIC Intel 10/100 InBusiness monitor Dell Ultrascan 991 truecolor 19" case Adtronics server w/hot swap twin power supplies Kbrd Adesso NewForm PCK 202T w/touchpad sound Diamond Monster MX300PCI audio w/A3D video Voodoo3 3500 w/TV out and 16mb RAM CD/RW Zip 8x12x36x DVD Pioneer backup Castlewood Orb 2.2gb modem Ext Zoom FaxModem 56K, USB #2986L that is about it. This server is set up and running Win98SE with all components functioning perfectly. Now, I want to mount Suse 7.1 Pro on it and eventually set it up to carry my 9 or 10 elists with an xDSL. It will be a dual boot so that I can run either W98 or Linux. Other software will include NAV, ZoneAlarm, Quicken 2001, Agent email and NG reader client, and so on. These to run under W98 Under Linux I want to run the elists, the websites, auction submissions, jpeg storage and editing, etc. Now, for questions. I understand that all of the above pc parts are no brainers for SUSE install but for three items. 1. the Adesso touchpad keyboard. (I am married only to a touchpad on the keyboard, not the brand). 2. the Castlewood Orb backup drive and 3. the Promise RAID controller. is this correct or are their "rpms" out there for ALL of these items? thanks, really enjoy reading this list! I don't understand much of it but then, I have never installed any Linux product. I am still working my way thru Linux for Mouthbreathers. I hope to soon graduate to the Linux for Morons next month. cheers chas -- RKBA! Charles L Hamilton Houston, TX Rot13 email: punfz@fpuhrgmrazrvfgre.bet X-NO-ARCHIVE: YES
