[13:12:44] <Bytram> ahhh, memories
[13:11:49] <AndyTheAbsurd> That's when the ][+ was purchased, yeah. My dad bought it when I was a toddler; I grew up using that machine and it was still functional in 1996, which was probably the last time I used it. (It got replaced as the "family computer" first by an Apple clone - VTech Laser 128 - then by a IBM-clone 386SX.)
[13:10:17] <Bytram> my first PC compatible had a 40MB half-height ST-251 Seagate
[13:09:41] <Bytram> whoah... that's *huge* =)
[13:09:19] <AndyTheAbsurd> (The one that I own as a museum piece is a blue original-series iMac that someone gave to me about a year ago. It's on display here in the IT department at work, next to a Mac Plus with 40MB hard drive.)

[13:08:34] * Bytram remembers reading the article which announced the Altair "personal" computer kit
[13:07:54] <Bytram> so... back around 1980 or so?
[13:07:33] <AndyTheAbsurd> The last Apple device I owned other than as a museum piece was an Apple ][+.
[13:06:05] * Bytram has never owned an iPhone, Mac, or any other Apple device
[13:05:32] <AndyTheAbsurd> ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ serves me right for not keeping up with iPhone models, I guess.
[13:03:31] <Bytram> So sorry. No, these are new ones that can be purchased from Apple... they tried this on Jan 19 and sold out. Looks like they found some more. Who knows how long this batch will last?
[13:01:24] <AndyTheAbsurd> Aww, I was hoping it was a vintage computer (or retro-style replica like the NES/SNES that came out not too far back) for that price :(
[12:57:42] <Bytram> oh, I put a time-sensitive story in the submission queue.... wanna take a look at it? Apple SE for $249
[12:56:45] <Bytram> is now ~7C
[12:56:25] <Bytram> rite?
[12:56:21] <Bytram> 1 inch == 25.4 mm == 2.54 cm
[12:56:01] <Bytram> is raining, now, and we expect ~ 3cm (?) (a bit over 1 inch of rain)
[12:55:23] <FatPhil> sound quite brutal
[12:55:11] <FatPhil> We've not had that kind of weather for a while. In theory the countryside hit some sub--20s last week, but Tallinn was balmy.
[12:55:04] <Bytram> wind chill was... well... just stay inside.
[12:54:43] <Bytram> and... high winds, too. ~50kph
[12:54:16] <Bytram> got down to nearly -20C
[12:53:53] <Bytram> got a rare warm spell going on here after a nasty cold snap
