[BurbankKarl]

if you have a good scanner in So Cal, tune to 271.0, set it in AM mode and listen to Norad intercept Air France flight 68, due at LAX 515pm

two F16s from AZ current refueling off Pacific

Hey this was my first one too. I see you had the extra memory module on the back. How did you like the tape system it used?? Wish I had saved it.

Who would have known that my post #617 would have taken us all on a stroll down memory lane :-)

3.25 Mhz and a casette peripheral.

Lets do the Time Warp again ! !

I remember there was a magazine that had various programs inside of it for the Sinclair 1000. There was one that actually gave you the ability to play music...based on the frequencies that the computer actually read and wrote data from the said cassette recorder. I think I spent 2 hours typing it all in....and BTW, you needed the 64k "expansion" memory to load it.

really good one....

Why would terrorists
use incoming foreign planes?

Since the other part was answered, it's far easier to blow through security at various foreign airports, especially when we're at Orange.

"Intercepted" is the correct word. What happens after they intercept is either they escort them in, let them go their own way, or splash them all over the countryside.

"I had one of those! It was very disappointing, I couldn't get it to talk, or much of anything else. ;)">I still have it, in fact... I'm posting with it right now :-)

Sorry! I couldn't help it :-)

There was a time when 512KB was considered "a lot" of memory. In fact, a certain famous businessman said that nobody would ever need more than 512MB of memory.

As I type this, I am continuing to put my massive CD collection on my computer. I have a 120GB hard drive that is nearly full of music. I am going to have to get a bigger hard drive.

What will the future bring? Within 10 years, it will be normal to have a 600TB (terrabyte) hard drive. Yet people will be filling them up with all their movies and video, etc. We will eventually need even bigger hard drives.

Twenty-five years from now, hard drives will be made from organic material. People will be able to fit the Library of Congress on a dime-sized "hard drive" on their wristwatches, with which they will be able to call up pretty much any piece of information they could ever need as well as every song and movie ever recorded or filmed. But that still won't be enough.

When will it end? It will never end. Technology will continue to advance at an ever-increasing pace.

If any one of us was transported back in time to 100 years ago - the year 1903 - we will scarcely recognize that world. A world that will seem absolutely primitive to us.

But the difference between 1903 and 2003 will be nothing like the difference between 2003 and 2103.

Some of us today might even be alive to see 2103 thanks to advances in medical science that will allow some of us lucky ones to to live to be 150 years old.

Yea, series FreePerBurp on that one.

The internet, FreeRepublic and the people I find here never cease to amaze me.

Stay Safe....God knows we are ALERT!

[Aeronaut]

They built a new airport at Lakeville?

No, Litchfield.

[Petronski]

Some of us today might even be alive to see 2103 . . . .

Great googly moogly! I'll be happy just to outlive my liver.

[OnAMission]

How about the HP-85 ...now there was a computer

As you can see, I'm having trouble with the italics command :-)

"Stay Safe....God knows we are ALERT!"

You do the same my friend,

[SW6906]

There you go getting all philosophical on us.......

and I agree with every word you wrote.

[Triple Word Score]

Less trouble than some of us have with the "Admin Moderator, please prevent more wet trousers like mine" 'command.' :-)

dinna fash yeself, mon.

I'm playing with html myself, these days, sometimes even successfully. Hhe HTML Sandbox is very helpful. by the time the semester starts, I should be ready to blow them away completely in my computers for dumb teachers class.

[BureaucratusMaximus]

Some of us today might even be alive to see 2103 thanks to advances in medical science...

And the Adkins diet! ;)

...that will allow some of us lucky ones to to live to be 150 years old.

Unfortunately. Retiring age for me may be well into 2090, so I figure by the time I'm 116...I'll be ready to collect SS, slow down, and enjoy the good life.

[Old Student]

But I need to put my fat finger through a pencil sharpener... TTTTTHE not Hhe...
