Netware patches were a sight to behold, tiny executables that dynamically patched the exes, like an automated hex edit.
I used look at MS service packs which came on billions of disks and then a Netware path which was like 10k

Unlike you I still have all of mine, somewhere
I’ve still got my first cd burner, a 2x jobbie with a SCSI interface and an old ISA SCSI card, thing cost me back way back when something like £400 and because of that I refuse to throw it away
I can still remember my first Creative Labs Multi-media blaster kit! 1 or 2x cd drive and a sound card! I had it on lay-a-way for 6 months! I had some really cheap ass speakers though! Thought I was the the cat's @ss with it!Unlike you I still have all of mine, somewhere

People that worked at AT&T/Bell South would also do this when they set up the relay station towers between cities. They didn't know what they were doing.

The 3rd largest bank in the world ( China ICBC ) was hit with a ransomware attack in 2024, but it was thwarted because the main network server was running on Novell Netware.

I bet they did this so they didn't have to bend down to work the valves.
Wait till a freeze comes...lol
It is a lot of fun to scoop up a hive of bees! Yes one might get stung but, grin and bear it.
I was moving a hive when a whole flock of them found an opening in my 501 Jeans. I guess when
I lifted the hive my jeans tightened up. Like I said, after 5 stings in the crotch area, it helps to
smile and work faster.

I once scooped up a yellowjacket from a swimming pool to save it from drowning. That was the darwinism lesson of the day.
I save bees in my pool, not wasp, hornets, yellow jackets, etc. I am racist toward them. That is one of my questions to God, what are they good for...oh and gnats? lol
I absolutely find this to be a WTF thing more then political stupidity.
