My wife made me get rid of my triple CRT setup in the mid 2000s. I was only able to sell one of them, for way less than it was worth IMO, the rest I found a place that took them for free eventually. It was shockingly hard to get rid of them.

I wish I still had one.

If my kid came home with a high quality triniton, I’d be so happy.

Crazy as it is. you can still get the (slightly modernized) hardware. IBM just makes too much money to stop supporting it.

As someone that makes use of an AS400 (well i series), I can confirm that there is no fun to be had.

No, his analogy is poor for many reasons. One is that people using local models are likely using that computer for other things as well, it is a resource that does many things unlike their slop farms. Also, DRAM wasn’t a “scarce resource” until they devoured the industry with their AI ponzi scheme.

It’s funny, my issue with it has always been that they add ham with it. Fuck that, give me pepperoni and some sort of (not shitty green bell) pepper like a jalapeno or banana pepper and pineapple is great.
