The design of this website resembles times and mentality contemporary to Netscape Navigator and Altavista.
…but the suggestions are good. Absolutely worth reading.
The site wouldn’t load for me, but I did manage to capture an archive:
Removed as a protest against the community’s support for campaigns to bring about the deaths of members of marginalized groups, and opposition to private entities working to prevent such campaigns, together with it’s mindless flaming and downvoting of anyone who disagrees.
I was surprised they’re available on ebay, but are pricey. So that’s because of nostalgia, right? Are they good for doing any real-world tasks still?

Someone else from my era.
I seem to remember that they put out a PDP-11 on a chip at one point. Personally, I always wanted my own microVax.
Good article. I’ve been happy with my Lenovo M93p’s for some time now. They seem to be very comfortable running Ubuntu.
I love my HP Prodesk 600 G3 DM. Bought it for €90 and it runs Proxmox and my containers perfectly.
Funny timing.
Just yesterday, I bought a Lenovo micro PC off eBay for $30 to repurpose as a Chromebox for my kids to use for schoolwork.
I started getting mini PCs when raspberry pi prices were peaking. My favorite mini PC I have was a bit expensive at around $200 CAD at the time. Its an hp elitedesk 705 g4 with a Ryzen 5 pro 2400g. Runs just about any server I need and does great for audio recording in Windows.
I also snagged a lenovo mini thinkcentre for about $100 CAD. It’s a bit older with a 4th gen i5 ( I think) and 8gb of ddr3. It sits in the data closet for contract work that I do and has all my work stuff, office 365, Visio, affinity designer, cloud connections.
I use a remote connection with my main PC ( running pop!_os Linux) to connect to either of the two instead of buying extra monitors or any peripherals. At the very least, It’s been a fun experiment.
