<div dir="ltr">I remember rgb, although not any Vincent who must have appeared in the intervening years I didn't follow the list. My first cluster was 8 discarded IBM PS/2 machines with MCA buses and tiny hard drives and yes, 3.5" floppies circa 1996. I originally joined the beowulf list around 1996/1997 and although I'd have sworn I posted more, I don't seem to have much of anything in the archive. This confirms my lifelong status of lurker. Which is probably good, no one wants to hear those stories about hard-coding your IRQ in the ne2000 driver source, pushing packets between nodes by hand, in the snow, uphill both ways over coax cables.... Now it's all "container this, as a service that, blah, blah, blah" Kids today.<div><br></div><div>jbh<br><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Thu, Mar 10, 2016 at 10:18 PM Lux, Jim (337C) <<a href="mailto:james.p.lux@jpl.nasa.gov">james.p.lux@jpl.nasa.gov</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Yeah, and you'll be telling stories about how you brought up your first cluster using 3.5" floppies.<br>

It just occurred to me that if you know who Vincent or RGB is, you're probably an old-timer on this list now.<br>
