Here's some
#vintage #tech for you. This is the Data General Nova 2. These 16-bit
#minicomputers were very popular in the 1970s. Coincidentally this
#photo was taken in the office of my last job, the
#basement of a
#government #research facility. I didn't take the photo but the link to the post is below.
I spent just over two years here managing
#Linux and
#Solaris servers. My
#cubicle was just around the corner from these
#machines, below flickering fluorescent lights. Exactly what you'd expect from working in the basement of a government building.
While these systems haven't been in use for decades and should have been in a museum, they were still on the books and inventoried annually. 🤦♂️
