Found at work
« on: Thu, 17 November 2016, 10:27:56 »
So I work at a fairly large public university in a Library as an IT specialist. Our storage closet has some... older equipment and I wanted to share a recent find. I have no idea what it is other than it's IBM branded. Looks and sounds interesting though! It has that resounding "click, TANGGGG" sound after it's pressed and released.
Enjoy!

Actually, that is an XT and you will need a converter.

Building your own is much cheaper but Orihalcon's or Hagstroms are plug-and-play.
"However, even though I was born in the Mesozoic, I do know what anyone who wants to reach out to young people should say: Billionaires took your money. They took your chance to buy a home. They took your chance at a good education. They stole your opportunities. Billionaires took the things you want in life. If you really want those things, you have to take them back.
That's the message. That's the whole message. Say that every day, not just to reach America's frustrated young white men, but people of every age, race, and gender.
Late-stage capitalism is a wealth-concentration engine, focused on vacuuming up every dollar and putting it in as few hands as possible. Republicans are helping that vacuum suck.
How does a tiny fraction of the population get away with this? They do it by dividing the other 99% of Americans against themselves."
