Time Machine

Although I installed 2 newer computers on my computer cove, one of those L shaped models with shelves and all, I did not redo the power wiring at the time. The old workstations drew just a tad bit more power required for one house line, after awhile of running both, it would trip the fuse box, so I ran it to a second line. So, I pulled all the wires today and redid it. On the bench it has one built in power distribution, but I added a second, as I run 5 monitors on it, Two in the designed space, side by size, and I installed two swivel for two more, and another monitor on the top of the selves. the main computer has 3 monitors, but my other is my time machine. I run VirtualBox on it. I have running boxes back to Windows 2 or 3. I did some work for my projects on all these operating systems, and I can still run the programs that will not run on today's computers. I run everything through Triplite, surge protectors, and they do keep their promise, I had one blow up a line capacitor, once, it was not on my computer system, and not even running anything which it blew a cap overnight. They just sent me a brand new one.
After my reconfig, my system is now using one less Triplite.
I have also made up 4 windows 11 boxes just to run commercial free tv to run while I am working.
I spent the last couple of days reconfiguring the back up system on my main computer. I had it on 2 8tb raid for double back up, I decided to retire one of them and reconfig the other so that I now have my library running on the main computer without having to get material from the raid system. It is now configured with 4 4tb drives for 16 tb, so I have plenty of room. I am also adding my Karaoke files to it. It takes time to load the drives, as today's drive run a lot faster than the old one's, for example 32mb a second to now, over 170 mb a second. So, the back up boxes run a lot slower than modern ones, but they work.
So, I have built a lot of Virtual boxes over the years, and when I find boxes on a back up, I import them to my time machine. I actually wrote my audiobook reader program on one, and updated it on another. I also wrote a program called fractions by which I could figure out equations to figures without having to write them up in mathcad, I did another just to write the essay, every four letter word. I produced every possible four letter word using the alphabet, more words than most peoples entire vocabulary.
So, it was the bulk of the essay, Every four letter word. The program was used to write out every permutation of equations of N number of variables. One equation, with any number of variables means the same equation base has many different expressions and the figure which produced them, had as many variations. One can take a point in a figure and make a segment either a constant or a variable, which produces the transforms.
