Weirdness


Okay, I admit this is weird in a data-processing kind of way. Which, I know, are two phrases you hardly ever see together.

I was leafing through web sites, and came across this picture. For those zillions of people who don't know (or care!), its a rack of cartridge tapes, possibly IBM 3480s or 3490s. I used to see them every so often when I worked. Whats odd is that I miss seeing them around. Of course, I know that what I miss is the sense of purpose that being in that environment gave me, even when it was irritating and frustrating.

Still -- strange, eh?
