Still Hot

But…For something cool…

Making sure that Forbin could read the Airness 2’s Time Machine drive – I scooped this nice frosty image from Jan 3, 2014 off the drive and over to Forbin, the new MacBook Pro. That Time Machine drive has been labeled and stashed away in a ziplock bag. Knowing me, somewhere there is a Time Machine drive for the original Airness from 2012. Resolved to do something about my digital clutter. Soon. Honest.

Forbin? Yes, I decided to call the computer Forbin. Colossus by DF Jones(1966)  was one of my favorite old school computer scifi stories. In 1970, it became a movie Colossus:The Forbin Project. Colossus being the computer and Dr Forbin being the creator.

  1. A great SF movie – way ahead of Terminator and Elon Musk worrying about AI. There was a book sequel too. Glad your computer is not yet named Colossus. The Tesla Model 3 (patiently waiting for) is supposed to have some neural networking designed into the chips of the onboard NVIDIA supercomputer – we shall see.
