it’s a shame that i’m running out of time to include thoughts to my blog. it seems i’ve always been ahead of the curve when it come to adoption of technology. i was first out of the box in 1997 to go to handheld computers. if apple.com had not hired steve jobs, i might be using the latest messagepad right now, but instead i’m still lugging around a newton 120 with OS 2.0, until something equivalent comes out.
at comdex, i saw the tablet PC’s and smart displays, which might rival the legendary newton platform. one of my newtons did give up the ghost, not cracked or totally gone, but the handwriting recognition has failed, and you have to use brute force to navigate the interface. i’m the first one out of the box with an online presence with greenconcepts.com and now my blog. i’ll be hosting the blog on my very on webDAV server in the coming weeks. right now i’m looking for a server.
i thought i should use my legacy machine (powermacintosh 7600), but i’ve kind of set it up as ruth’s primary system, i’ll be using a SE/30 with 4 GB SCSI internal drive, but i want not only to server web pages, but e-mail, DNS, quicktime content, and other services that a 13 year old machine with a 25 MHz processor just can’t handle. i think as a DNS or backup unit, the SE/30 is good, but not as a “big iron” server. if you have any suggestions on which server to get (under $3000), drop me a line.
