Man, I truly feel old, I'm 27 years old, I remember the days of the commador 128....That's when I first started prgram, and hitting the BBS before the internet days. When you had to call each computer seperate. You younger guys have it lucky. I been out of computering for the past 4 years. ANd now I just confused with linux and all the new things of windows xp.....I started when the baud rate was 300, and then we switched to 1200 and we thought we were speeding then.......the old days.....
ANYONE OLD ENOUGH TO REMEMBER THE DAYS OF ENIAC? Tee-Hee-Hee-Hee....
Yes Soulreaver I also remeber working for Burroghs in their literature distribution facility and had to deliver 1 inch tape reels at 20 inch or so diameter for there server updates to a computer Clean Room that was the size of 2 city blocks to house a computer system that had less processor power than todays laptops...I had forgotton this fact until now...thank you for making me feel even more smithsonian...lol
I know im just a young newbie at 14 but I am trying to teach myself some programming(C++, Pearl etc. etc.) and thought that here might be a good place to ask questions since nobody seems to get flamed too much and its such a fountain of knowledge...I've really got to quit booting in windows...its a bad habit you know? Maybe I should just remove windows completely so I'm forced to use linux.
Computers that big with no internet, tisk tisk, and they cost 100 times more back then than new computers today eheheh, need public storage to use it :P
I'll be 25 next month (august).
I was born a genius in 1952. My motto is:
Some people were born stupid, and others have to work at it
I have had a lot of practice, but Gandalf, I am not.
:cool:
15 in august :\ cant wait to drive
lol I feel like a little kid, and am, but watcha going to do?
I am 27, and started with an Amiga 500 in high school then bought a Tandy 386 with a 50 meg HDD, sound blaster 16, and tons of DOS games... I did some really basic programming in QBasic by messing with GORILLAS.BAS and NIBBLES.BAS to learn how to program the standard diviance in the form of Euler's equaton using Simpson's rule (I'll have to dig around for that gem in my disks and maybe post it here hee hee). Then after that, I did not use a computer again until I got married in 1998 and that's when I had to learn all over again using Win95 on an over-priced 133MHz box...
Damn I feel so old with so much to learn!
