Tiny bubbles
In the wine
Make me happy
Make me feel fine
Tiny bubbles
Make me warm all over
With a feeling that the market
Will rise until the end of time

In the 1970s, I installed an IBM 3090 CPU, taking up a large room, with probably only two cores and 2 megabytes of memory for $9 million.

I knew it was going to be fun being manufactured around the time I was, but WOW. That thing makes the Cray Supercomputers seen in all the 80s movies seem underwhelming.
There's a picture with a tape-measure in it. It's hard to see, but it appears to be about 18cm on a side.
Yet apparently, its still only "one of" the world's largest and heaviest cpus.
That was fun, thanks.

Here's a fun video I just encountered - a teardown of the processor from a System/390ES processor frame.
$250k just for the processor apparently..
It just popped up in my suggestions at youtube and from sight of the thumbnail I immediately recalled this comment of yours and the fun I had looking into the processor.
This one is from 1991. Enjoy! EEVblog #1341 - AMAZING $250,000 IBM Processor TEARDOWN! - YouTube

The big "bet" right now is picking the "real" covid19 "vaccine" company. Everybody is "buying" / underwriting millions of doses, even though "the" vaccine ain't even been discovered yet.

Probably not. The consensus of everyone I know who uses/has used pot was that his behavior when smoking on where-ever that video came from showed that he rarely or never used it before.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I'm very tai-chi on that subject - but there's not much i Kendo about it.

Open two copies of Excel, with different sheets (I do this on separate monitors).
Give Excel 1 the focus, and then position the mouse over Excel 2 - do not click.
Twiddle the mouse wheel to scroll the sheet on Excel 2.
Notice that the sheet on Excel 1 scrolls instead ...

Excel is really strange.
I noticed just the other day that if I have an Excel spreadsheet open in the background with cells selected with CTRL+C, I can't copy and paste from any other program. The text is simply not copied to the clipboard...

It is indeed strange, but ... it's also a very, very good spreadsheet, and a whole load better than any other. Nothing else even comes close. Unlike Word, which could be beaten by a pencil and paper most of the time.
