Not a retro challenge
=====================

I'm  sitting in  a front  of  my workstation,  reading Gopher,  writing
texts, filling  stuff to  the spreadsheet and  listening the  ORF Radio
Wien  on-line.  Well,  surfing  the  WWW  and  reading  e-mails  in  an
browser-based client, too. And I'm going  to connect my PSION MC600 via
serial port to transfer files which I created on that laptop.

So I'm doing  nothing special - I  have been doing such  things on this
particular computer for 15 years.  OF course there is increasing number
of  WWW  sites and  services  which  are  unaccessible from  here  (the
Mastodon is not an exception). But many  things can be done with use of
remote access to the SDF.

I'm using the  SGI O2 workstation - a low-end  workstation from 1997 or
so. It has  the MIPS R10000 CPU  at 250 MHz (I have  a R12000 somewhere
but still have not managed to do the upgrade), 256 MB of RAM (I think I
wrote here  about my RAM  feilures some  time ago) and  the magnificent
1600x1024 LCD screen (the 1600SW panel - it might be unacceptable today
but it is still very nice and eyes-friendly).

So thing work as usual. The computer can be a "retro" in someone's eyes
but there is no challenge. Fortunately.
