A couple of weeks back, we swung by Butler Tech in Cincinnati to visit Mr. Hall, who heads the IT department there. In his department is a rare Centurion Desk System, and Mr. Hall actually let us bring the full card cage and one of the platters home, here to Texas, to back up. So, let’s get to doing that today! And of course, once it’s all safely backed up, let’s take a peek at what’s hiding out in the code.
