Winbox Blast From The Past

I worked with someone yesterday that has an X86 based mikrotik running T1 cards. Since their cards have support no longer available in new versions, they were still running version 2.8.28. I actually ended up finding a copy to play with…just for fun 😉

Feast thine eyes on the icon heavy beauty that is…winbox 2.8.28!

aaaaaaAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH...it's so sparkley and beautiful...

    Oh god, it’s like returning to the Naughties. Or Windows 98…

    The longest I’ve kept one version of RouterOS running was v3.14. Had it running on a PowerRouter (shameless plug where due) for 470 days before the site had a prolonged power outage and UPS ran outta juice.

    Was in a semi protected area with no real climate control acting as a wireless PtP station for 5 x 5ghz wireless links.

    I made sadfaces the day it went offline.

    Anyone else able to beat my uptime? 🙂

    I’ve got like 3 years of runtime on some Cisco gear.
    uptime is 2 years, 49 weeks, 2 days, 19 hours, 13 minutes
