Occasional musings that fall out of my brain and on to the site. Occasionally more occasional than I'd like. But will try to fix that.

Retro cool

One of our project's blade servers is refusing to boot at the moment. And it seems to have reverted to a bit of it's BIOS from the late 80s. I think this is sooo cool. I'm sooo sad!

The little arrow is actually animated, moving from the disk to the drive. It reminds me of my old Amiga, but far less pretty and graphical. Very much the reason I felt all smug and superior in those days.

I have my Mac for that feeling now. Assuming going Intel doesn't result in there being a PC BIOS instead of the lovely OpenFirmware. But I'm not hopeful.
