It is great! But for running old Windows software, Windows 3.x/9x license is required, while no DOS is required for running DOS software.

Sigh

They made slightly faster modems at 16800 or 19200 if both sides are running Zyxels.

The great thing about three-finger drag is when you reach the end of the trackpad, you can lift one finger and put another finger to continue the drag. Tap and drag on Windows couldn't do that.

I think you can actually lift two fingers as soon as you've started the 3-finger drag and it'll continue dragging. If you're quick enough you can lift all three fingers and reposition them, too. They really put in a lot of work into the software behind the trackpad, which is still a major selling point for macbooks in my opinion.

> If you program C++ then STL comes from SGI.

Didn't STL came from HP?

HP was one of the implementations pre-C++98 approval, but SGI also had their own, and they used to host the original documentation.

On the early days of the Web, and pre C++98, it was where most of us would read how to use the existing STL implementations.

Crashplan for home. Still haven't found another unlimited plan with linux client.

Yeah, same boat here. Currently using the discounted small business version. Not sure what I'm going to do once that expires. I haven't decide whether it's worth the time investment to use something open source like https://github.com/gilbertchen/duplicacy with eg Backblaze B2, or if I'll just bite the bullet and pay the full $10/month for Crashplan SB.

After using the discounted small business version till this month I finally moved my backup to: restic [0] + B2.

It was really just a 30m job and I have a setup that backups 4 times a day and prunes etc twice a week. You might want to checkout their forum if you need any help. I had tried Borg and duplicity [1] too but found restic to be perfect for my need.

I also have Tarsnap[2] for the double backup of my most important data.

[0] http://restic.net https://github.com/restic/restic. This project also lists alternatives with supported feature list https://github.com/restic/others

[1] http://borgbackup.org, http://duplicity.nongnu.org

[2] https://www.tarsnap.com and has a simple but functional Qt GUI https://github.com/Tarsnap/tarsnap-gui

I moved to Duplicacy with paid Google Drive backing store. Very very happy. Unlimited storage with Linux client, and doesn't have the horrible resource consumption of Crashplan.

(I paid for Crashplan SB for a while but dropped it when it was unable to restore my data. Test your restores!)

Backblaze B2 supported by several linux clients I believe. https://help.backblaze.com/hc/en-us/articles/217664628-How-d... B2 is not unlimited by at $0.005/GB it's pretty cheap.

Came here to say this... had various family members using it, clients, etc.

Backblaze's "we don't support Linux desktops because they'll abuse it" policy is pretty annoying, in context.

I miss the multiple destinations and "backup to another computer on the same lan" feature. Had mutual between the grandparent's computers, an attached USB hdd and then both to the cloud. Easy. :/

Switched them over to Duplicati + b2 and it's much cheaper for the amount of storage they're using. Still safe in a catastrophe but regular "oh I deleted that file" restoring won't be so fast.

edit: oh and the continuous backup thing and monitoring emails if it stops working was nice

My previous employer use SuccessFactors. We filled the quarter goals and reviewed them through SuccessFactors. The funny thing is my previous employer was acquired by SAP few years ago too.
