NASA closing on fix for Opportunity rover's 'amnesia'

Thumb Up

I wonder how many of their bollocks they would give to be able to add 2 or 3 x 1TB SSDs right now. :-)

I know there are computers that were built in 2003 that are still running now but they have had an "update" or two but they are considered older than dinosaurs IT wise. Opportunity wasn't built in 2003 but launched then. What was the current IT hardware available when they designed and then built the darn thing. That thing amazes the crap out of me. Plus, anyone remember the HP inkjet advert when Opportunity landed?
