Wireless Moot

If were talking about computers, my first one was an Atari 600 with external 5" floppy. Good times. My school had the apple IIs with cassette loaders.

We can dream can't we!

Don't worry, I got something almost as good going on. The Linux/Mac HoB is coming along nicely. I've got the dynamic menu created so you can select the version. Will create the INSTALL/REINSTALL/REPAIR menu next. After that I'm going to work on the boot img creation code. We're getting there.

How about fax machines where the tube spun around and the pen slowly drew the fax?

I still remember my first Computer an old Packard Bell (from when they sold them in America) gold old Legend version. started out with a 486 clocked at about 50mhz, for it to 150 at one point added another 4 megs of ram (that was about 200) at the time.

Oh wait I still have it in the attic, maybe one of these days I will set it up and play with windows 3.1 (I never got 3.11)

Or you could just use VMware Player or VirtualBox *LOL*

Um, that's only cause you didn't read my post where I said I went to the Amiga after the C64 when I was in high school.

Since we're talking about our earliest computer experiences - my middle school was on the cutting edge of technology, and in the mid-70's we had access to a computer lab with about a dozen huge terminals - all BASIC, tied into a single enormous computer in the basement. I remember that behemoth had reel-to-reel tape drives - I even got to swap them out once. They also had a portable terminal, and I got to take it home a couple of times. It had a small 9" black and white monitor and a suitcase keyboard with a modem. I remember lugging that thing home, getting everything hooked up and plugged in, pushing the phone handset down into the two foam receptors above the keyboard, and quickly dialing on the rotary phone. Had to be in a quiet room, because background noise could mess up your data connection. I still remember those tones. If you were lucky, the line wouldn't be busy, and you could have uninterrupted access to the computer for hours on end. After debating over whether or not to buy a Commodore, I waited a couple of years and ultimately bought something much more practical - a TI-71B. It was TI's mac-daddy programmable calculator, and it allowed me to program a lot of useful equations and formulas in BASIC - and it wasn't RPN. I smoked everyone around me with their wimpy little TI-41's. Good times...

A few of us in the air force had those TIs with the mag-strips and the little thermal roll printer. We used them on shift because we could run a lot of stuff way faster than our mark 152 (univac 1219) once we wrote a few little progs TI 50 maybe?

If i had a nickel for every hour playing zork or hitchhikers guide on a 2c or 2e i'd be rich

Heck yeah, I loved playing those Infocom games. Even the more obscure titles (anyone remember Leather Goddesses of Phobos?) were a blast. The Apple II was also great for Sierra games, like the King's Quest, Space Quest, and Leisure Suit Larry series. Only problem with those was since they actually had graphics, you had to keep swapping/flipping the 5.25" floppies all the time. What I would have given for a hard drive back then!

1398 but it does it on every voltage between it and 1410. I've even dropped the 1ghz slot to 1375mV (62Vsel)
I've even upped the 1ghz to 1.2 to make the transition easier

FINALLY!! .247 courtesy of HoB

Knock the voltage down to 1390

My uncle had something like that, TI SR-52, I believe it was. Had a printer that was also like a charging base and those little strips that it made a sort of whirring noise as it read them. It was pretty cool. He passed away from a brain tumor a few years ago, i'll have to ask my aunt if its still around. I doubt she wants it for anything. When I was real little, I thought you could program it just by writing the name of the program you wanted to run in Sharpie! on the label area of the magstrip. I guess I didn't understand magnetic storage when I was 3 *LOL*

Cutthroats was infocom, starfox was a good wireframe (think battlezone) space dogfight thing.

Sarge why not tell us what the moot might be, or at least a time line as to when we get to read the moot, its been too long since a moot relevant discussion has happened on this forum
