Upgradable to dual processors and 128MB RAM. Totally futureproof! Oh, and 540MB is more than enough HD space - what could we possibly need more for?

9th November 1989
Günter Schabowski, spokesperson for East Germany's ruling SED party, at a press conference announcing the removal of travel restrictions for East Germans wishing to leave the country, i.e. travel to a western country.
This was a genuine policy drafted earlier that day but was supposed to be implemented the following day, giving the border staff time to prepare. Schabowski was not aware of the implementation date and when asked specifically when the restrictions were to be lifted answered:
East Berliners stormed the checkpoints of the Berlin Wall, overwhelming the border guards who had no option but to allow them passage.
Thus began the end of the Berlin Wall and a year later, the reunification of Germany.

Wow. I spent a week in the mountains of BC, exploring a lot of old logging roads and coming across a few old and forgotten cabins/trailer homes belonging to long gone prospectors. While going down a trail by Yanks peak, we came across an old machine used to dredge the rivers in the area back in the early 1900's. Amazing to think of the environmental havoc they caused for some tiny gold flakes.

Oh, and talking about ecological disasters, check out the hydraulic mining in California at Malakoff Diggings. Ouch!
