Early releases of Slackware were only floppy. The boot/root CD release came later. I fondly recall wasting hours in a computer lab @ university using 20 Sun Sparcstation 2 floppy drives to write the slackware floppies for me and my friend. Walking out with a brick of floppies was pure bliss (achievement unlocked).

Congrats Hannah! Been following since the TED talk, and her videos have always been a welcome addition to my day!

Anyone remember the good old days where computer manufacturers would throw in a free printer with the purchase of a desktop computer? I ended up with 6 or 7 printers stacked in the closet. Instead of changing cartridges we changed printers. :)

Love this, but iirc this was very common back in the day. Many of the XT, AT, 286, 386, 486 clones came with these types of triple AA battery packs, some with shrink wrap around them. It was easy to cut the shrink wrap and replace the cells with generic AA.

Consider taking a sabbatical if you can afford it. Reflect on what got you where you are today, and imagine where you want to be tomorrow. Let your mind disconnect from the day to day rigor of development. I have done this a few times in my career, and each time it keeps me centered on what is important to me. Hope this helps.

This needs a column & sort option for Benchmark/currency to help search for highest bang/buck card. While it can be done manually through export - users will definitely appreciate having the convenience.

Love the idea, but its a missed opportunity - some wheels and it could have been a skateboard too.

With all seriousness, keyboard should have flipped or slid out so its more compact. I can't see that in peoples pockets.

+1 Its a great read.

Payroll Payroll Payroll, please - Quickbooks has a hold on so many companies b/c of the payroll subscription.

Motif was everywhere and it sucked. Sun/SGI/etc. SGI/IRIX unfortunately used it as the default, but you could change it fairly easily.
