Today marked a milestone in my home computing. For the first time in over 30 years there is not a piece of HP equipment in my house. Last piece (printer went out today.

I sure am. I think I still have two HP minitowers playing media servers, two old HP Notebooks (NC6000), a pair of Mini 100e netbooks from eBay, and a still running HP ProLiant downstairs. I don't dare unplug the last one ... not sure it would boot, but I need to keep at least one UW SCSI system alive! :-)
It's a ProLiant 2500. Single 200MHz PPro, three 9GB hot-swappable drives. It's really just a photo storage server at this point.
What you need to do RC, is to build a time machine, go back to 1950s, sell that for a lot of $$ and come back a rich man (and share your wealth with me!).
It marked a milestone for me to, getting close to 50 years with no Apple devices in my home ever.
I remember your profile photo before your replaced it with a cute, hairy creature and if I have to be perfectly honest, you totally stroke me as an Apple type!

Your memory is better than mine, I can't even remember what I had before the current one!

I'd stick a copy of Linux on it first and claim I wrote it. Hehehe... I mean, I have the source and everything! :-)
Getting gcc to work on 1950's hardware might be a challenge, but compilers and operating systems are what I went to school for, so... And my name is quite close to Richard Stallman. It wouldn't be that much of a stretch, tho he's probably a better coder than me.
