some newbie questions

[astcell]

I actually played Don Quixote in a school play, I wonder if that left he scarred. More misadventures Sancho!

In my day, we were on the phone for an hour downloading a GIF that might possibly have been a vagina in 4 color CGA and we LIKED IT.

I remember one of the more popular bits of w4r3z at Atari copyfests (I mean, User Group meetings) being the page-flipped smurfsex animation. Four frames of some little blue critter doing a little blue female critter doggy-style. uNF!

It was the best at the time, an Atari 800! (later replaced by the Epson QX-10).

Heh. Not only are you appealing to my natural sense of Atari bigotry, but I've also got an Epson HX-20, portable relative of the QX-10. I like the fact that Epson still has the hx-20 documentation on-line.

old music

Besides, I still use a typewriter at times, and I own a record player and the LP's to go with it. Oh, and old 45's too.

I'm a little too young to have any LP's around, but I'm working on copying a bunch of my old cassettes to CD. (http://audacity.sourceforge.net)

I also still have my old C-64 and its disk drive in a box somewhere.

What about the 8-track?

Oh, my now I feel really old. How young is too young?

8-track's make great costers. :D

Hello, pot? This is kettle. You're black!

Hello, pot? This is kettle. You're black!

I think the proper term is Kettle-American.

Holidays for the KAs

I think the proper term is Kettle-American.

Don't Kettle-Americans celebrate Festivus?

Or was that just chamber-pot liberation day....I can never remember, I am so not PC.

Tangents are the nature of the DC Forums... Just like in real life, when topics skip around during a conversation.

Don't remind us about real life, THIS is where it's at!

An intranet site at my company is accessible by telnet as well as http. Yesterday, I tried the telnet for shits and giggles and see a Wildcat BBS banner. Today, I see your nick.

The old BBS days are calling...

Yeah, I still got my old BBS up'n'running on telnet. An old Amiga 600. Problem is that not so many people like the old nice way to telnet into bbs:s anymore so the users is just around a couple a week :-/

WOW! I can't believe anybody still has that stuff! And expects anybody else to buy it! Well, the high (only!) bid at this point is for $10. I guess that tells me what my C64 is worth. I'd probably have to pay somebody to take it off my hands.
