I still think one of the coolest things I ever was able to see regarding older computer technology was back in the very early 80's my dad was able to take me to work for a sort of family tour, back before security was such an issue, and I was able to see one of the very early Cray supersystems. It took up nearly a floor and was surrounded by water towers. Now they take up less than a rack's worth of space.

I had friends that had Commodores ( and not the music group)! I remember the old TRS -80 too!
Now do you remember 8" floppies
Nope not since "viagra" came out!! LOL
Seriously nope, those I don't remember. One guy had an IBM something or other that I never got to spend anytime on....all I remember about it now was that it was a tower type thing and had lots of flashing LEDs.
I think the first "real" PC (besides the "Trash-80" I ever saw was an Apple in a store that a bud, was thinking of buying,.... that was hmmmmm around 81 or maybe 82. I got the TI-994a in 83.

Got a popupblocker of some sort running? Some of them have the ability to block animated gif action, as well as any other type of motion graphics.citcat wrote:AHA !sy wrote:citcat wrote:OK...now my avatar isn't visible, just an X there.citcat wrote:I need a little help too....the 'moving parts' of BN have stopped moving: like avatars that blink, flash, etc. I noticed this first several weeks ago when the emoticons don't blush or cry or roll their eyes anymore.

So it IS a conspiracy! Oh well, I quickly googled my name and decided it was time to go with chocolate. My 'moving parts' still aren't moving. I've deleted cookies and entered from the front door and cleared my history and logged out and in and out and in again, but to no avail. If I don't find an answer here on the forums, I'm gonna take the direct route: email the admin. bwahahahaha
You can never have too much humor. Carry on!buffettbride wrote:I think I must now resort back to the original SPEW and stop hijacking this very useful thread.LIPH wrote:Why, because he comes in a bottle?buffettbride wrote:And now I have to ... change Frankie's last name to "Pepper" and call him Dr.

I just tossed a whole dumpster full of diskettes, 5 1/4 floppies, cassettes (the kind that were just like the music ones) and the hardware and software associated with some really old systemsSam wrote:I remember the diskettes, 5 1/4 floppies, and cassettes, the bag phones and more.

I bought my first computer the year I started law school, 1991. It had a 20MB hard drive and cost $2500.
