No, sorry. This was on the east coast. I bet the same story applies to a few different bases though lol.

Worked on a military base that had a small lake. Against policy, a civilian employee went out fishing during his lunch break, somehow capsized his rowboat and had to be rescued by the on-base fire department. Unsurprisingly, he didn't lose his job over it.

Maybe the cats can support that hard drive a little better.

There's no way to know if Windows stored some personal data in an OS directory somewhere, so nuking the whole disk is the only way to be safe. If this is an SSD drive, then wiping should be done with secure erase, not by overwriting like you'd do with a magnetic HDD.

It's got the same vibe as 'sex-haver'

I could be wrong, but I think Diversity was an old, old wooden ship.

Fun fact: there are more trains in the lake than there are boats on the tracks.

Maybe the good pastor was just listening to a lot of N.W.A. at the time and had a moment of confusion.

Hello fellow Dvorak user.

I used a Mac SE/30 running OS 7 quite a bit in the early 90's. I remember it being incredibly reliable; in fact, I can't even remember what a crash looked like on a Mac, whereas I can still picture the BSOD from Windows 3.1.

I don't remember noticing much difference in snappiness or intuitiveness between Mac and Windows back then though. Both were pretty easy to learn, even for people with limited computer experience. Anything with a hard drive felt snappy at the time, because the previous generation of computers all ran on floppy disks which were slow as molasses.
