The last shop I worked at had a Bear scope that was running DOS 2.x on a 286 Intel platform. Last time I was there, I thought I still saw it. I forgot to mention that a couple of months ago, we decommisioned an HP workstation something/80i. Hard drive failure is what killed it I think. There's also a DEC Workstation 5000/200. Anyone remember them? =) Ahh, the influences of DEC in the open source realm. And to think I get to administer 5 of them ranging from 4.0B to 5.1B on Alphaservers 4100 and DS-20E's. Wish they'd decide to open up to Linux and dump a few of the aging HP "D" class servers we've got as well... But, noooo!!! Linux is not "supported" in their eyes by vendors. -- Shawn First law of debate: Never argue with a fool.
