You know something funny?

I came across one of my first 'modern' computers the other day. An IBM 286. Not the AT. Just the 286.

Lit it off. Got the DOS prompt. Geez. Had forgotten most everything.

Had a 60KB hard drive.

Total. Yes, that's Kilo, not Mega.

Looking at that machine from this side it's a joke. But back then it was hot stuff. I started off in college working with an IBM with a card sorter, and a machine that occupied a large room. Later on, from the 286 standpoint looking back at it, IT was a joke.

That holodeck is not far off now. Just waiting for that positronic relay to be invented.

I used to wonder why '7 of 9' never went to the holodeck. Then it hit me.

A woman like that, you don't need no holodeck fantasy.

Just some candles and wine.

I'm sending my GF some roses tomorrow.

In case the holodeck thing is still a ways off.
