roamingguy 300292 Report post Posted November 5, 2011 Everything hurts, - what does not hurt, doesnt work! The gleam in your eye is now the reflection upon your bifocals You feel like the morning after, but havent been anywhere Your children begin to look middle aged A dripping tap causes an uncontrollable urge You have the answers, but no one asks those questions You look forward to a dull evening at home You need glasses to find your glasses You turn out lights for economy, instead of for romance Your knees buckle, but your belt wont Your house is too big and your medicine cupboard is not big enough You just wish that you could live long enough to be a problem to your children 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Old Dog 179138 Report post Posted November 7, 2011 Cool! How about these: We didn't sell those, but I remember them!!! You had to make sure that the volume on the portable tape recorder was just right or else the program would crash and all of your 800 kb of computing power would crash!!!

You had to make sure that the volume on the portable tape recorder was just right or else the program would crash and all of your 800 kb of computing power would crash!!! You're close! For computers, they were actually just everyday cassette tapes, and it would have been closer to 8K than 800K :) (An 800K program would take over 27 hours to load by tape). You were probably thinking of the CPU clock speed, and around 800 Hz to 1 MHz is about right for the era. Yes young people, that's 800 hertz to 1 mega-hertz, not 800 MHz to 1GHz - a difference of a factor of 1,000! You're bang on fiddling with the volume control to get things just right, on the 3rd or 4th CLOAD attempt. That is actually an RCA sound tape cartridge: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JuliasUndies 7288 Report post Posted November 7, 2011 When all you want for your birthday is to not be reminded of your age. You think Iced-T is a drink. You know what an 8-track tape player is (and swear it's better than CD's.) You get into heated arguments about pension plans. At the breakfast table you hear snap, crackle, pop and you're not eating cereal. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gawd.......loved those days. Additional Comments: The best part of growing old is no longer having the desire to suffer fools. I'm going to retire to Florida, hitch my pants up to my chest, and argue politics with other old farts. :icon_lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
