Hi! Can we entertain each other with our fun stories about the oldest or weirdest tech we've come across?
Please boost for science or cows or something. TELL US YOUR COOL STORY!
edit: as suggested, adding the hashtag #WeirdOldTech to keep this stuff going a bit (hint: you can follow hashtags).
@Pepijn Different story: from 2003-2005 I worked for a large junior college. One day I was the security rep accompanying an inspector of some kind (I forget who he worked for) and one of our network engineers in our main, very old, and small, data center. He notices a device in tge bottom of a rack. “Is that really a Bay Networks router?”
“Yup.”
“What does it do?”
“It’s part of the network core.”
At that point Bay Networks had not existed for over a decade.
