HELP!

Thinks he spends mor time wrenching than fucking around on a puter

His generation were born with computers and all they had to learn was Windows. Not like us old guys that saw the rise of PC's from DOS and "F" keys to the user friendly systems of today. Shit I remember when the Mac Classic came out and I thought that was the greatest thing ever because how easy it was compared to PC's at the time.

I am sure he would kick my ass at wrenching though; I do it, but always get frustrated and bust my knuckles Plus I just by Honda's so not much to fix unless adding upgrades!

Tell that to my 83 CB900

29 years old though! That bike is older than you Grim!

Put about 15K on Honda F4I; never broke down once
Current 600RR has 30K+ on odometer and still runs like a champ

But yeah just messing around; all models can get good life if properly cared for.

Thanks, that just made my morning.

Shit, my (future) kids will not even know a life without smartphones. Guys at work are buying their toddlers frickin' iPads. I don't even have an iPad!

How 'bout this trip down memory lane?: Apple ][+, ti-99 4/a, TRS-80? Or this gem, the Osborne-1, the first "PORTABLE" microcomputer, hahahahaaa...

I'm a surveyor... so we have to do some calculations for various geometry solutions. We thought we died and went to heaven when these bad boys came out.... you hand to put a cassette in with your project data to store and retreive coordinates... lol

When I attended UNM college in Los Alamos, NM they took us to see the first computer ever called Maniac. Thing was giant and took up an entire toom; our phones are more powerful

The TI99-4/a had a nifty cassette adapter so you could save your little BASIC programs, hahaa. Nice Cuneiform tablet! (sp?) My Mom use to do print pool & punch cards for AMF/Head Tennis/Ski way back in the 70's.

Amazing, I have more computing power in my phone than in that room. And astronauts went to the moon and back with not much more than Eniac.

These pictures bring back memories. I took classes in BASIC in high school on the school districts mainframe but this was the first computer that involved employment:



About 40 users on the same dumb terminals shown in the picture, only the controller had a PC that could run independently

Interesting facts: That computer had 440 MB disks that were the size of a dishwasher, by the time I left that job we had upgraded to 570 MB disks that were the size of a file cabinet drawer. Terabytes were only dreams...

you guys are fkucing dorks.....
