@notsle Houston: now you're going to get a code from your bank in a moment, and we need you to tell us what that is, just to confirm your identity.

@ericalaeta @notsle Now I wonder what the space ThinkPads ran. (Yes, ThinkPads went into space.)

@ericalaeta thankfully it’s a personal pc. Not a mission critical device. Pretty sure nasa policy is Linux/unix with full source code so issues can be fixed immediately and if comms are lost.
