This is classic The Register tone, which I like a lot. Also, I missed these kinds of moves between vendors...

BTW, BOFH[0] is a great The Register series if you want more of it.

BOFH is older than the Register.

"The BOFH stories were originally posted in 1992 to Usenet..."

"The Register was founded in London as an email newsletter called Chip Connection. In 1998 The Register became a daily online news source."

I knew that BOFH is old, yet...

I didn't know that it was that old.

Amazing. Thanks for sharing.

That's not really old.

My IBM Model M keyboard is from 1985. That's probably the oldest piece of equipment that I actively use.

Of course it's not that old, but considering 1992 is the year I started to play with computers as a kid, that's older than I expected, at least for me.

I've used internet for the first time when the The Register became an online publication.

Kind of reminds me of tech Variety: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=egpWCC2svVo

Thanks for BOFH. Whole series is genius!

To this day I still chortle about “big, chunky volts” delivered down innocent-looking connectors. The younglins know not what I speaketh of.
