Congratulations Elliot B!

 

I just realized that on August 7, I made 18 years on Neowin as well! (this calls for a larger than normal font)

Someone could have been born the day you joined Neowin and gone though all of School / College by now, just puts in to perspective how long that is.

 

Congrats and enjoy your 18th!

December 2001 here. Don't post much in the forum but still check the site most days.

 

It's changed a bit since then:

That's the Neowin I remember browsing in School, then college! I really did like that design.

 

I believe I found the site in late 2001, however never registered until early 2003.

 

We have a very primitive logo on this crawl: https://web.archive.org/web/20010202063000/https://www.neowin.net/

I like that the first time I came on Neowin the page is in the archive.

I came looking for leaks of XP as my beta had not come in the post yet and thought I may download it using my 56k flex modem for the next month!. and stuck around after that:D

    • 47% profit margin? Wtf!! I know companies are in business to make money but come on man. I know for a fact I'll never own one of these.
    • Most AI-powered mainframe migration vendors expected to fail by 2030, Gartner warns by Paul Hill Credit: Pexels You may have read that many companies still run code written in ancient programming languages like COBOL and pay a handsome sum for those who can maintain that code. Well, it looks like this area of the tech world could be the scene of an AI bubble. It turns out that there are mainframe exit vendors, helping companies move their legacy mainframe systems to modern cloud environments or servers such as Microsoft Azure and AWS, using generative AI tooling. Unfortunately, 75% of these vendors are now expected to pivot or cease operations as market realities take hold by 2030. Alessandro Galimberti from Gartner said: Some of the companies in the mainframe exit market are IBM, 21CS, BMC, Broadcom, Rocket Software, DXC, GTSG, and Kyndryl. The reasons some of these firms are expected to quit the market are a reset of market expectations and a decline in demand for one-size-fits-all migration solutions. The reset in expectations is likely to be driven by cost overruns and threats to business, and the potential occurrence of critical failures within businesses as a result of bad transition implementations. These insights from Gartner are pretty interesting because it’s a specific area of the market where doubt is being cast on generative AI. Many people have cast doubt on whether AI companies will successfully justify the massive amounts spent on GenAI to date, and this data from Gartner suggests the road could be rocky for GenAI.
    • Heaven forbid they lose pennies from their Trillions! Like always, the consumer pays the most. Why is Tim Cooks even talking.....shouldn't he be packing up his office??
    • If you have the budget...! Some solo or indies just want to either learn or start their game and aren't in a capacity to pay salaries or to contractors... Get real.
    • Source and more 35 years old?! And if my maths is mathing, that means she was around 10 when The Ring came out?! Damn...scariest 10 year old I think I've ever seen.
