Wow!

I’ve seen plenty of flame wars here at Free Republic.

But who knew Techie nerds could get the tighty-whities all in a bunch?

lolol

Abacus, are you kidding me? I just put the Ethernet cable on my tongue and interpret the tingles.

I just like to show off the dexterity of my fingers.

(that was a hint, gurls) ;-)

My first computer... cams, gears, rollers, servos, linked with a gyro... FT/G

AMIGA is still the king! Long live Earl Weaver Baseball!!!

[Gumption]

Can I see the flowchart for that?

“How about all the MORMON bashing threads?”

I have never heard Apple using Mormons bashed anywhere.

[La Lydia]

Amen.

I Want My Be OS.

[eyedigress]

The Range Time Constant control must go.

[Titus Quinctius Cincinnatus]

Oh yeah?? Well, MY first computer was still called a Babbage Engine!

[Paladin2]

That one looks a little bent. Are you sure it still works?

[Paladin2]

Those are actually pretty cool (fast too)

[La Lydia]

What IS that?

[Gumption]

That is 70’s computer porn.

“Timex Sinclair 1000”

I got one in 83’, combined with a b/w tv and cassette deck. Wrote a basic program that saved the company I worked for $5000/yr. in manual calculations.

They thought it was the coolest thing they’d ever seen.

I miss my Osborne. I had it all in 26 lbs. 64k RAM, 2-90k 5.25” floppies and a 5 inch CRT. CPM for the win!! LOL. And I got it all, with OS, WordStar, SuperCalc II, and DB2 for under $2000.

Built the RS-232 interface and tied it to my Royal electronic typewriter that had a whopping 16 character buffer.

That, my friends was the first computer to be placed on a squadron level desk in the entire USAF — and I did it all out of my own pocket. It was a magical time.

Lucky dog, that one has the 1000K memory expansion pack.

You rule!
