Old tech for an old Techy


How many of you remember the days of the Pentium processors? What about the 386 when we used 30 pin SIMMs (1mb shown here) and this  5 pin DIN adapter for the PS2 keyboard?

CPU, Memory and keyboard adapter

I think that piece of memory actually cost me $25 in 1980s dollars! Computers have come a long way since the early days.

Cloud makes it easier to use but remember, it also makes it easier for the hackers 😜.
