10 to 1 the table would still wobble
🤓 ummm that is a Compaq Prolinea 486 desktop… not a Pentium. Bad form Intel. Hopefully that level of quality control doesn’t spill over to your brand new Pentium line.. 🫢
I asked for a 4mb memory upgrade as my high school graduation present (1994) brought me up to 8mb and I thought I was in the big leagues.
32mb in a 486. You are living the extreme in 1995.
Time to enter the world of debug.

Why? Did you sneak it on his table when he was getting a tasty beverage?
I probably could get behind this as well
No problem. I tried getting to your table in time but alas was too slow. End of October is fine with me.
So hey @geekenspiel.bsky.social … there is a sadness in my heart. And it can only be filled with geek coasters….
10 glorious MB
Agreed. I would love that.
No Karaoke! The hotel guests did not like that. Very bad.
