Its a real fossil!
Our hospital uses some about that ancient.
Wow, how many people would actually use trilobite in a sentence let alone out of context?
A trilobite is awfully old. Windows actually runs on such a system????
...and 300 mil's of RAM.
What's a trilobite? I studied IT but never heard of it before
what is a trilobite?? i never heard of it!!is it like B/W TV old?
Trilobites were a lifeform during the Cambrian period, several hundred million years ago.
only a troglodyte would announce the size of his hard drive.
Love it! Used to go trilobite hunting as a kid...Lots of them to find if you know where to look.

never heard of a trilobite (trilobyte?)....I did instantly think of a tribble though. Semi-random.
Millions of years old beasties vs millions of kilobytes beasts.
Not much (!) difference, really...
except the computer probably has more memory.
Soon, he will be overrun with them. They will fill all the cupboards and closets, eat all the food, and--
Oh, trilobite. I suppose that's not as much trouble.
