I've done the first frame and then had to explain what a "mainframe" was, but, I've never tried the others. I think I now have a new years resolution!


That was a good one!

There are many "war stories" for those harsh cold nights when the winds howl, and old programmers gather around a warm hearth and reminisce and try to tell the most harrowing tale.

I remember an old war horse. A 19 bit French machine. ("T1000 à mots de 19 bits.) A T2000 had 20 bits.

A "White Walker" from George RR Martin might ride one of those beasts with the sheet metal torn off and the bones of the racks showing through.
