Nothing, Infinity and You

I’m the kind of guy who likes cutting edge stuff. I update my operating systems often, even on my phone. I always have the latest entertainment technologies (Blu-ray, HD DVR, DLP TV, etc), but the one thing I don’t like cutting edge of is food. I don’t like processed or “microwaved” food (btw, my microwave is a Kenmore Elite stainless steel model with a “jog wheel” for controls made by LG). I like the old fashioned way! Hence, why I’ve succumbed to marketing and eat an Wendy’s. Yesterday I got in the drive-thru at a Wendy’s across from Milenia Mall (I’ll leave y’all to figure out where that is) and as I was ordering, the order display was distracting me, like the stains in the Tide commercials that talk distractingly while the person with the stain is talking (see commercial here). Anyway,  it occurred to me that the screen was not blank, yet it wasn’t changing. To my surprise (warning: nerd/geek references here) the screen had a DOS prompt on it. In fact, not only was it DOS, it was Caldera DOS (can’t get any hokier than that)! Here’s the screen shot… It’s interesting to note that Wendy’s is true to their heritage: “Old Fashioned Hamburgers” and, on labels on their computers, “Old Fashioned OS”.
