Regarding the found Pentium 1 PC: the HDD light was turning on for a few seconds, but I was getting no video out, so having no POST card (already ordered it), I resorted to good old blind RAM removal, and hey, we got issues, but we got video!

@ozzelot Hmm, I always hoped the EnergyStar logo used poor man’s compression to encode the same elements only once. As you can see, the blank spaces are encoded multiple times.

@vancura
It might be marginally less effort to put the same thing in multiple locations and then just spit out the array in sequence? Idk, I'm not this low-level. Yet.

@ozzelot Yeah, I think they decided it's not worth the effort. There are many unused characters in high ASCII :)
