Poser - OFFICIAL F.A.Q (Last Updated: 2024 Dec 23 7:38 pm)
Here's what happened to the boy who cried wolf: After the townspeople allowed the wolves to destroy his only source of livelihood, he was forced to get on welfare antil his shrink advised him to sue the villagers for emotionalo damage, loss of livelihood and punitive damages. he now owns the entire village and all the villagers work like slaves for him at minimum wage while he lives in luxury. he also makes fee use of the villagers' virgin daughters and they're powerless to stop him because they're so many millions in debt to him they don't dare risk pissing him off. If you're not careful you could end up like him...

ummmmmm you forgot to post a mindless image of a tailor made body suit/item of clothing, and of course you havent furnished us with an incessant diatribe about the pain and suffering you experienced last week that has affected you and will continue to affect you for the rest of your life.....but will surely be eased with the support of your fellow members of the poser community! innocent snicker
Actually i still run an OLD Macintosh IIci on my home network that i found in a dumpster. 20 megs for RAM MAC OS7.6 800 meg hard drive it was considerd a powerhouse back in its day. :-)
Oh yeah, vertical drives. ;] Letsee... Wang, and the TandyColorcomps and the Trash 80, I think? My '80 still works [at least it did last time I plugged it in.. ] and it's got two vertical 8" floppy drives. And a 5mb hard disk... and DOS 3.1

LOL! Oh gods Chuck... my workshop in the back room practically IS a old PC tech museum. ;] I have the TRS-80 on a shelf under a parts bench, there's a stack of old 486DX-100's in a corner, another stack of old P60's through P166's in another corner I raid for parts [mostly floppies and CD-Drives & cabling] as needed. And then in the working end of the shop, there's my "toy": my Raptor DEC-Alpha 600 that I use for doing benchmark comparisons. ;] And the obligatory stacks of boxes of old vidcards, dead vidcards, dubious modems, dubious or dead Nic cards... dubious floppy drives, network cabling in the "it MAY work" boxes, monitors in the "Good for a few more days... " category, and empty cases that need motherboards and guts. My House, the Elephant's Graveyard: Where old computers come to die. snicker

WELL, IB, now I know why California is proposing the new law they are...for people like you...well, actually not, since you aren't filling their landfills...grin. DEC Alpha, huh? Jeez! I've finally gotten over that "it MAY be needed" sometime problem...and only have one small cupboard filled now...pats self on back for getting rid of digital packrat syndrome....hehe. I bet it looks something like the one of the pictures of the artist of the month...the robot graveyard thingie...which is REALLY nice.
Heya - the Raptor is cool. ;] It'd be cooler if you could get software that'd run on it, and if Compaq hadn't bought out Dec to kill it off, and... But it'll still out bench a lot of rigs I've seen, and it makes a good hardware baseline for when I do tests.

Yeah, Wang did have those 8" vertical floppies. If I remember correctly, I think there was a great HUZZAH when the 5.25 floppies were available for it. I had a lot of luck with Wang, actually taught some people at the Federal Reserve in San Francisco how to use it. Best of all, met my wife while teaching a class in Wang glossaries (remember those?). A lot of folks got left holding the bag, though, when that technology got passed by. I still have a WangWriter (TM?) in storage somewhere. My son - now 32 - still has a Commodore 64 - no kidding - that I gave him when I upgraded to an Amiga 2000, now sleeping in my garage, but still gets a test drive now and again. Wonder what's next and what will happen to the several PCs I'm running these days.
Not to mention all of the nifty techie jokes they inspired: "Help! My Wang is down, I can't get it up, and I have clients here waiting to use it!" ;]

At the Computer lab at the College I attend we actually have a hard drive disk hanging on the wall that measures about 36" across, that's about a meter for ya'll outside the states. Course the biggest hard drive disk I have is only about 9-10". And yepper, IB I still have some 8" floppies around here somewhere.
