(No) Old Computer Challenge
===========================

I just have spent  a nice half of hour by reading  of other people' Old
Computer Challenge Entries [1]. Pretty  interesting but some computer -
while really old by today standards - dot's seem to be old to me.

In other  hand, I don't  feel to be ready  to participate just  now. In
recent years I  have upgraded my computer setup  considerably (from SGI
machines to POWER9 Workstation + ARM laptop) and also have changed some
tools  (well, LaTeX  and  WWW  tools) to  newer  -  and incompatible  -
versions. So it's  now a bit hard  for me to read  e-mails, write texts
and to other once normal thing on an old IRIX machine.

Anyway, I am now on the SGI O2  (250 MHz MIPS R1000 CPU, 768 MG of RAM)
which is rather fitting (I don't use so much RAM - while I am not going
to limit it  in software it is  unrealistic to expect that  I will ever
reach the 512 MB limit.

So what is the first day of my non-challenge?

I am  reading the Gopher  (Lynx), writing this  text on the  SDF server
with use of  the SSH and listening  an on-line radio (ORF  Radio Wien +
XMMS).

I also  edited my spreadsheets with  my bicycles mileage. I  use the SC
spreadsheet for that. By the way, I  still have not reached the 2000 km
goal - now it's 1970 km.

That's all for today.
