Description
As I stated before, I will put wings on just about anything, however, I also stated that I would not put wings on a toaster. I was making a reference to an old screen saver for Windows 3 and 3.11 which had flying toasters and therefore I felt it was unnecessary to put wings on any appliance, let alone a toaster. However, it appears that a lot of people have forgotten that old screen saver, if they even had a 286 or 386 with a whopping 16 megs of ram and a massive 250 meg hard drive and an 8-bit SVGA video card with jumpers... and everything was actually command-line driven - remember format C:/u/s ?
Just to save myself from any grief from the TADL, I went ahead and put wings on a toaster and set it flying.
Zlata appears just a bit unimpressed with the scene as the toaster flies overhead. She has let me know, in no uncertain terms that, 1 it is okay to put wings on animals like Mice and Elephants, that to her is perfectly acceptable, 2, it is even okay to put wings on robots, they serve a function. However, she has drawn the line and said that, "Enough is enough!" Flying toasters are passe and no more appliances will have wings.
Thank you for all the wonderful comments. As to the question of putting wings on trees, Don't tell Zlata, but as soon as I can afford to download the Ents, or their likeness, they may, mid you, may get wings. But as I understand it, they want to stay true to their roots and may actually resist any effort by me to put wings on them. We'll see.
I hope that everyone has a great Friday! and a moment of silence for those lost on 9-11. Thank you

To have ideas and to concretize them It is much better my friend. Cheer a thought is propagated with the sight of all to make tell of it the words of all kinds. Cheer still you merits well satisfaction. Mile mercies. Just to laugh and which glares come out from it ((5++)) Avoir des idées et les concrètiser c'est beaucoup mieux mon ami .Bravo une pensée se propage à la vue de tous pour en faire j'aillir les mots de toutes sortes .Bravo encore tu mérites bien satisfaction. Mile mercis . Juste pour rire et quels éclats en ressortent ((5++))

great POV and lighting Mike. I caught the refrence when you mentioned toasters although I never owned a IBM until around the arrival of the Pentium processor. I started with a smaller version Radio Shack Color Cumputer called the TRS-80 MC-10 4kb (4 x 1024) or (4096Kb toal RAM) memory and was hooked up to an old black and white TV we had laying around nobody was using. how is that for irony? I found the specs on WIKI ------------------------------------------ TRS-80 MC-10 CPU: Motorola 6803 @ 0.89 MHz RAM: 4 kB on-board, expandable to 20KB via external expansion pack ROM: 8 kB (Micro Color Basic, developed by Microsoft) VDG: MC6847 Text: 32×16 Low-res: 64×32, 8 color (4bpp) Low-res: 64×64, 4 color (2bpp) Med-res: 128×64, 2 color (1bpp) Med-res: 128×64, 4 color (2bpp) Med-hi: 128×96, 2 color (1bpp) Med-hi: 128×96, 4 color (2bpp) Hi-res: 128×192, 2 color (2bpp) Hi-res: 128×192, 4 color (2bpp) (required memory-pak) Hi-res: 256×192, 2 color (1bpp) (required memory-pak) I/O Ports: RS-232C serial interface (300-9600 baud; 600 baud from BASIC) Cassette interface (1500 baud) Internal RF modulator Memory expansion interface ---------------------------------------------------- I think even a empty folder is larger than 4kb these days! Everytime I was saving a program to tape and the washing machine or dryer turned on or off it would cause an I/O ERROR and I would have to spend another 15 minutes saving the program again! "Boy those were the days!" But I learned a lot about programiing on that little computer and had quite a bit of fun even with out BBS (Buletin Board Sytems the predessor to todays websites) or internet or the World Wide Web. (the "www:" that go in front of most internet addresses) or Hyper Text Transfer Protocal (the "http://" that goes before the "www." of most internet address. see you even learned something maybe? thanks for the flash back Mike

A flying toaster... Ok... At least it wasn't a flying toilet. That could have caused problems.
