Technical Details - computers
Bendix G15 - One of my first computers.
COMPUTER TOOLS - The work station is an aging Toshiba 4080 maxed
out memory-wise at 192meg. An even older Toshiba 420 plays server.
Its LCD went south months ago, so I sort of hope that it just keeps
running smoothly.
An Epson Photo Stylus and a tiny Canon BJC-70 continue to produce
fine quality printing. If I use Epson's best paper, the quality
from the Stylus is as good as prints from Ofoto or Shutterfly. (which,
some would say - isn't much. but IMHO - they do as good a job as
any retail drop off your film place.) The oldest equipment still
in service (not counting Peg!) is the Iomega Zip Drive which dates
from the summer of 1995.
Most recently, I got a Toshiba 5gig disk drive that slips into
the PC-card slot. I got it free - had $450 worth of coupons from
Toshiba. Check it out.
Other toys include a USB CD-Burner, an HP Scanner, the usual networking
stuff, and a much loved Microsoft mouse. I try not to think about
all the obsolete parts and equipment that I have stashed away.
