This thread started because someone said banks would be fine because they can repo the server farms when the bubble bursts.

Those server farms will be worth a fraction of what the bank lent the company to buy them.

Even if they can somehow manage to sell them for 75% of what they paid, with these companies talking about borrowing trillions of dollars to build these places, that would mean losses to the banks of many hundreds of billions of dollars. And in the real world they'll be lucky to get 50%.

I'm really not sure why this is proving hard to understand.

Wow! That's the best news I've heard in a while here! I was hoping that was the story, and after a while it was clearly the case for most of us. Its a fluke I even noticed your posting before another six months ticked by... It really slowed down after they nuked AC postings at some point, but before that it was getting to be a bad Turing Test. Anyway, early on my imagination went crazy. Also, notably absent was Barbara Hudson, who I was worried about actually, if you're still in touch. Anyway, I have to run but wanted to send you this before I let any time lapse. Last I heard I think you were talking about a drive to Florida and I had a bunch of "Florida Man at a Circle K" stories running through my mind. Anyway, glad your still kicking, here at the old folks home! Peace, out.

My Junior High in 1977 had a teletype on modem to the County mainframe, Paper punch tape and dot matrix. We wrote in BASIC as an independent study in rotating periods in the library. I remember programming games of chance, cards, dice, role playing stuff. But I was much more interested in the Super 8 camera and segued into the arts. Gary Kildall's Digital Research was happening down the road...
