        @neil I didn’t like the workstations manufactured by Sun in the same timeframe.

                @neil Your logic in that choice is much the same as many other anti-vaxers, I think...

                  @neil you little-endian

                  (No, though it was very important at the time I used macros so as not to ever have to think about network vs CPU byte ordering... Yes, I did buy Sun kit, why do you ask?)

                      @neil You better have children. Dad jokes like that are prescription strength and being a father is usually required to deploy them legally.

                        @neil 😆

                        Sounds like a terminal problem. I can suggest an escape sequence.

                          Ours was the front end for an engineering team developing algorithms for flight simulator visual systems. The grunt work was done by a bank of connected Transputers. Once the code was validated it went into custom silicon.

                          If course, you could later do the same level of graphics with a Playstation 2
