It is when they're The Bringer of Doom and The Bringer of Drama. Besides, as someone knowing people like Marigold and Raven, I'd definitely prefer to be around Raven over Marigold.

AnAverageWriter:
I don't see why. Marigold is sweet, intelligent, has helped others on occasion, and we haven't seen enough of Raven at all to make a judgment. I've never understood the Marigold hate on this forum from some people.  

:psyduck:

She's like the Kimiko Ross of the QC universe!

Only prettier.

First mainframe computer I was paid to operate had 64K of memory and 10 megs of disk storage,  It ws the size of two refrigerators side by side.

celticgeek:
I remember those, too.  Honeywell H600 and a Honeywell H6000; although I was a mere user, not a sysadmin or anything important.

Ooooh...
Mine had 1 K of RAM. Which, after some messy soldering, could be extended to 16K.
Storage? An old cassette recorder.

While I wasn't *paid* to operate or program it, the first computer I "had access to" was when I was in school, and... well, let me just say that "access to" was in the form of handing over a batch of punched cards, and we'd have to wait a week for the output. Made for some interesting debugging sessions. :D
