IBMmer, Software Engineer, Mainframer, Amateur Photographer, Polythiest, Druid, and Collector of Crap. Co-Founder, Classical Computing Laboratory at IBM Poughkeepsie. Views are my own and not my employer's.
@frameworkcomputer Also: I am toying with the idea of creating stickers for the Classical Computing Laboratory at IBM Poughkeepsie. There would be no business purpose and we are not a nonprofit (so its not a fundraiser), but I can see even (or especially) the oldest, most conservative of my mainframe coworkers losing it for repos of these:
I have pre-ordered the new 12" laptop by @frameworkcomputer in trans pri... erm... "bubblegum". I am very excited.
I dont buy new hardware for myself. I use my IBM-issued Thinkpad P15 for almost everything, and a 12-year old Thinkpad X120e netbook for my retrocomputing work. I love that it fits inside my purse, but hate that it is painfully slow. Now that IBM will be switching me over to a Macbook Pro, it's important to me that I have a purse-sized Linux daily driver.
Anyway, this is why corned beef and cabbage is one of my favorite ethnic foods. It is _mine_ and tells the story of my Ancestors who left a dirt farm in Lismore to live in a tenement a block away from the docks on West Houston street in Manhattan. Specifically, these handsome lads, their sister, and their parents.
Yes, I just configured ImHex (hex editor) to use the IBM Bookmaster fixed-width font that IBM used to use in their DOS manuals. Why do you ask?
