ZX81 vs Atari 2600

I had a ZX81 and later got the Sinclair 16KB RAM pack...the wobbly one.

Missile Command was pretty easy to program on the ZX81, even in basic.

Back then I showed it off to a friend of mine who had the Atari 2600. Apart from the colors and sound it looked like the real thing. That was until I got the Atari600XL of course.

My main issue was that the off-the-shelf portable cassette player ( I think Panasonic) did only load the games once in a dozen times, despite me endlessly fiddling around with the volume.

Oracle muscles way into seat atop the benchmark with hefty ZFS filer

Re: Headlines are but part of the story

Oracle uses more than 200 PB of the ZFS kit (now ZS3) in its own data centers. So putting their money where their mouth is.

These arrays are used to provide for:

41,650 concurrent application users

15.4 million database transactions per hour

8 disparate enterprise applications

4 storage protocols

and last but not least 3 weekly full backups to StorageTekTape

Zero downtime environment

Proves to be very stable to many.
