Worth a moment of silence.

So I feel some memorial should be made of the passing, at long last, of my venerable Compaq presario 1510. A whopping 32 mg of ram, when we still used megabytes, and a Pentium 1 clocking 150mhz.

The powersource was bad, it had no ethernet. But it had serial ports. Wow. In its last days it ran BeOS like a champ, a tiny netBSD kernel, and OS/2.

Warp, baby, warp.

And BeOS was the only one worth running on it.

No glorious story, I just needed a spare screw, so I tore the old beast apart looking for one.

Farewell!
