Totally tubular.
I own way too many domain names already, but due to a friend’s compulsion for retro technology, I just registered the nixietube.com domain. I guess I share a strange attraction and an oddly obsessive behavior towards obsolete computers and electronic devices with this friend of mine. After all, we did spend a good part of last thursday afternoon swapping components between two Apple Lisa boxes, just to see if one would boot up. Besides, where would the world be without the memory of those glowing high-voltage amber digits staring out at us from calculators the size of sub-compact Japanese automobiles? I’m just paying my due respect.
