Michael Piotrowski<p>Used the occasion to finally check on the computers in storage at my parents’ house, notably the HP 9000 715/50, the HP 9000 C200, and the PowerMac 7300/200. I was quite worried about leaking batteries and capacitors, but these ain’t home computers, and I’m always amazed by the build quality and the attention to detail. <a href="https://mastodon.acm.org/tags/PARISC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PARISC</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.acm.org/tags/HPUX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HPUX</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.acm.org/tags/PowerMac" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PowerMac</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.acm.org/tags/Retrocomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Retrocomputing</span></a></p>
