Party Rockers In The

That’s a 1970 Buick Electra hiding behind the fence.

Some days I feel like I’m teetering on a fine white line where one event, or misstep, could send me tumbling into a Stephen King esque scenario. Maybe I’m already there.

Apparently in Japan they had access to this link cable that allowed the PSone to use a cell phone as a modem, turning the console into an E-Machine, doing basic E-Mail, web browsing, etc. A few games supported it as well. A lot of online sites call it the i-Mode adapter or say that i-mode is a PlayStation service, but i-Mode is just an ISP from Japan. Some sources mention that it was only compatible with the PSone and not the PlayStation, but I can’t find why that would be.

That’s not just any pinball machine. That’s a Williams 1992 “Fish Tales”. Completing the joke that they are fishing.

Yey, I love finding photos of mainframes in use from the archives of colleges. This is an IBM System/360 model 30. Their lower end of the System/360 range. Introduced in 1964 and shipped in 1965.

Initially this entire machine had the maximum memory of 64k. In the early ‘70s 3rd party manufacturers started to realize it was built to accommodate more (up to 128k, though just 32k upgrades cost near $40,000), so IBM offered options to upgrade the memory to 96k.

The 360 was created with the intent to be used with shops that had an IBM 1401 (introduced 1958). It could be configured with an optional emulator to run their existing software. Short sighted business then bought the machine configured with 16k as that was the 1401s maximum memory capacity, why would you need more, when the machine could be much much more capable at 64k. You could load DOS/360 to “partition” the machine for 2-3 concurrent jobs.

James Wilson super empathetic and incapable of making rational decisions when someone is in pain and he decided to specialize in treating terminally ill patients. No wonder House wants to study him like a bug

Heres a quick sketch that I thought would look kinda cool.
