It might have been 128k with 84k reported “free.”

Ah, the old VIC20 days and the Lunar Lander....

You kow, we'll (or someone younger) be making the same comments about the machines we're working on now.

Yeah, it was a Vista machine with only 2 gigs of RAM! Can you believe ve that crap?

[NormsRevenge]

Ahh Yes,, KayPro..

We have come a long way...

but those were the days. sigh..

[Roscoe Karns]

Nope. LOL!

[Lucky9teen]

Maybe there's a problem with the wiring?

[Lancey Howard]

Okay, I'll join the fun!
Here is the first computer I worked with (circa 1968):

Digital PDP-8

[Lucky9teen]

Me too...but only when I click on “articles” and the link comes up: http://www.freerepublic.com/tag/*/

If I take out the /tag/*/, then FR comes up fine....weird

Hey, it must be McCain and the Democrats doing this. Trying to shut conservatives down....or else it is MOTHER.

right?

Did the thing keep the 6-packs of beer cold? Looks like a fridge.

Have you checked your asterisk key? It may be sending a mismatch error. If you have a Dell computer, hit FCN plus the up arrow key. If not, call your administrator or Best Buy's Geek Squad and tell them you have an I-D 10/T error.

[Nachoman]

Has anyone tried kicking the server?

[Poser]

Ooooooo! Northstar Advantage with hard sectored floppy disks!

Excellent computers.

"Anyone else get “proxy error” regularly?"

I've been getting it on and off for well over a week.

Well, I will too then. Here's the first computer I worked with (starting in 1960). It was a room full of the these - IBM 650s.

The things put out so much heat from the vacuum tubes that there were often pizza oven hoods installed over the top to help keep them cool.

[Tainan]

As of this point in time, there is a problem.

Best of Luck to the FR Tech Crew.

What’r them cards you’s usin’ there, fella? Doncha know about how ya gots ta load a bunch o perdy colored cards that cut little ticks in em. These ticks are gonna be used later in Poli-Ticks, and thayr goin’ be spatial used for a Hugh, series ‘lecturn. Folks ‘s gonna call’m Chads. Must’ve named em efter my Aunt Susan’s reprobate son that couldn’t never learn his times tables. He’d tear up his tests ever time into tiny pieces. Since his name’s Chad, we commenced to call them there tiny test pieces Chad’s on account of they’s small.

NOW he tells me!

When we was thru punching, joggling, verifying joggling, sorting, joggling, compiling, joggling, copying, joggling, dropping them, and picking them up off the floor, we then folded, stapled, mutilated, and decorated them into Christmas wreaths.

How was we to know we shoulda saved them?

Amazing that my cell phone has 20 times that now.
