Things I learned this weekend: #BSD 2.11 was released in 1991 (later than I'd have guessed), there was such as thing as the Gould PowerNode 9080 implementing their Power6/32 architecture in ECL. #Vintage #BigIron

Shifting gears for a few hours. I’ve got loads of prep work before #FalloutNewVegasRelentless session one next week. I may have some 50s western music playing in the background. #BigIron

We see in 2023 with some more big iron appearances. "Mission Mars" features an IBM System/360 system and there are panels from an IBM 1620 in the "Invisible Man" episode "Pin Money". There's a panel from an ICT 1301 in the "Doomwatch" episode "You Killed Toby Wren" and the "Face Off" episode of "The Event" has panels from the IBM AN/FSQ-7 (as well as a modern interloper - the Apple Macbook Air).

Quick repost of my last artpiece onto this account. The swiftness of the ranger is still talked about today.

Thanks again to Lorcian for letting me use his character ^^
