Going back through the old Tired archives. I'd forgotten how good-- and prescient-- it was.

ATM has apparently gone nova

somebody once told me
you're gonna wake up hungry
don't eat the plums i left in the fridge

in the morning i was dumb
and my tongue was kinda numb
so i foraged around for some breakfast

well the plums start coming and they don't stop coming
once you eat one you just can't stop plumming
don't stop to think till they're all gone
i think oh shit you've done it now shaun
so much to eat so much to chow
why did i go for the plums now
i'd better leave a good note
so here's the thing that i wrote

@qrs frankly if the QR code read "NO NERDS AT OUR WEDDING" that would have been amazing

Okay, retrocomputing nerds: anyone recognize this weird-ass midplane I've had kicking around? Probably old IBM equipment.
Boost if you think it will help.

Does anyone:
* know about the old Microsoft interlink (interlnk/intersrv) protocol in detail,
* have a copy of interlnk/intersrv.exe,
* have a backup of the defunct ftp.microsoft.com ftp site, or
* have an archive of Dr. Dobb's Journal covering 1996?

Asking for a friend who is me
