early 90s, i286 story reminded me purchasing my i386 SX (4 MBs RAM, perhaps 20 MB HD), running DOS 5, then DOS 6 could not afford the DX edition for some reason. i286s were just phasing out then.
amazing how linux started. thanks for sharing!
i own one and running Ubuntu on it and I confirm that it will drain the battery if left on sleep. Mine is always on charge and I make sure to shutdown before traveling. Otherwise, it is a decent machine for lagging around
Someone is getting their ego boost. what a waste of time / resources in creating this? surprised to see to it come up on the feed. Unfortunate, just like the stuck ship in Suez Canal. Hope all the egos are boosted enough to float away.
Oh, there was a discussion of an LRT to downtown St. Paul from where I live. We all heard the same arguments about "bringing the wrong kind of people" to our neighborhood. Instead, they are developing bus lines which is the better call, but have to see the ridership. Hope it works out.
Spot on. I live in Minneapolis metro area, and commute to downtown Minneapolis via bus. The "express" bus from the suburb is not frequent enough and does not extend far so I can walk to my house after getting off.
Instead, I drive a good 10+ minutes to a park & ride, and get on the bus for the 45+ minutes ride to downtown. Also the buses could be electric and more comfortable, and have better lane management. Here in MSP, the transit buses can drive on the shoulder which are in terrible shape.
agree, ISPs, cable-providers and wireless carriers should also be on the top of the list. Same here, there is no alternate to Comcast in where I live offering a similar service. They have been doing very slight improvements in service while almost doubling their prices.
Paying $110/month for a business line with 50 down / 10 up, while recently i was offered then refused a promotion upgrade to $140/month with 150 down / 25 up for 3 years. After three years, the pricing goes close $300. Unbelievable deceiving offerings for reduction in current pricing. Totally stuck... :(

Quite deceiving pushy sales people and their offerings with reduction in current pricing. I am considered a loyal grandfathered customer, yet i am totally stuck... :(
