You must have been a client, too. Brings back old memories. Also, have a look at the Groklaw archives if you haven't: http://www.groklaw.net/staticpages/index.php?page=2006121221...
IIRC, Groklaw was created specifically to archive/translate/simplify the SCO litigation, right?

#42I remember as a kid around 1995 or 1996 seeing a Unix login prompt on the stores computers, and one guy who worked at a store had put some of the modem dial-in numbers on a local BBS. We'd dial in and try to guess the passwords but never got anywhere. Later I learned Pizza Hut ran RedHat.
Lolwat? Care to elaborate?

#43Santa Cruz Operation (thanks mahouse) aka SCO. They used to run all the McDonalds stuff at one point iirc.
Santa Cruz Operation*. It sounds like a warfare tactics thing, heh.
I have no idea if this is true, it's probably completely apocryphal, but it's a nice hack if it's true.

Caldera renamed themselves The SCO Group after acquiring the name and trademark from The Santa Cruz Operation in 2001.
Later, things went south and the new SCO(G) turned litigious. The original SCO was not responsible for the later shenanigans, and it was painful to see their name dragged through the mud.

#49That's one fast load time.
It's not valid, but it's responsive.
It has no jQuery dependency, but it uses Google Analytics.
It's insecure HTTP but a "trusted" hostname.
It's low contrast and navigable (inasmuch as there are no links).
Plus ca change...

#50I knew we needed some grub for the upcoming night of debauchery.(Yea, I was quite the charmer?)
Even now, I would rather have the original website, over the flashy current one. Sometimes less is more? Do I want to make more than a few decisions when ordering a pie--under the influence? I kind of liked calling--order--cash--bye bye.
