Looks like one of the Robinson brothers from Free Republic has gone missing (still offline)

[The Straight Story]

43. Welcome to DU - we love your site

It is like cutting edge technology with all those scsi hamsters.

And your backups must be amazing. My team of engineers at chase handled 5000 servers and we would always go to your site when you had problems and learn how you fixed up things. We never thought of driving to San Jose or taking old parts from old machines instead of just, you know, buying parts and having them on hand before time. We had a depot full of parts just sitting there, think of the things we could have done with that money, not to mention the space we needed to keep them all.

And backups? Lord, we wasted so much time on those - first with tape then drive arrays via fiber optic, when all we had to do was just figure out a smart way, like you are doing, to get information off a dead drive. We took the wimpy way out, not the manly tech god way.


You are a visionary that makes people like me realize we are in a mental wheelchair when it comes to technology when compared to your crack team.
