That is Bug, she's recovering from having her second mast cell tumor removed.What's the doggies name? I still want to know if Iggy will make my digital sound better, I want to see what Tom is making next. Lol! Have a great night. Cheers
Just want to re-up this in case it got buried in all the noise of vintage spinny hard drives.Hey all, is there an Aegir 2 impressions thread? Nothing obvious was coming up in my search.
I remember taking a course in Lisp. The instructor was obsessed with recursion and would give the students mind bending programming homework that could make people psychotic. It wasn’t until years later when I started writing functions within Autocad that I realized you could use it to do ordinary tasks.I studied and used Pascal, COBOL, basic, C+, and LISP. I understood the logic but I was never very good at it and left it behind. I was also for a brief time a Novell Systeh Admin, but I hated that. I am not cut out for IT, but I’m what might be called a fairly advanced user.
Lisp is the first thing out of all this programming talk that I am even faintly familiar with, though I used that within AutoCAD only minimally. I could sure make AutoCAD dance, though.

First engineering job out of college- management figured I should know Autocad. I was lucky enough to graduate when the debut of 286s and 386s made CAD practical on desktop PCs. I still work every day with CAD/CAM but I use a lot more programs than ACAD now.Lisp is the first thing out of all this programming talk that I am even faintly familiar with, though I used that within AutoCAD only minimally.

A circle back again!Oh! And my square that recognizes me is all about Jean-Michel Jarre. I'm not a nark. Lol!
What a fabulous thing - as we Brits would say ' That has a lovely tone !! 'My RCA SHF-3D console was born in 1958
Will refer people to this post when, as ever, they ask why not a schiit streamer?It seeemed a really good idea at the time to schedule the colonoscopy at 8am. Get it out of the way early, he thought.
What he didn't think about was the 3am drinking the preparatory glop for two hours. Only one more hour of drinking to to go..........
TAt least this is the last one if it goes well. I'll age out of the window before the next one is due.......
To say that I am not cut out for IT would be a massive understatement.I studied and used Pascal, COBOL, basic, C+, and LISP. I understood the logic but I was never very good at it and left it behind.

Ah yes, autoexec.bat and config.sys tricks to get drivers into the space between 640k and 1024k of memory.
X-Tree Pro was my favourite file exporer
There was a Windows version, but didn't seem to be as robust as the DOS one.
Edit : I open two separate explorer windows as a workaround for dual pane
Edit 2 : First PC I bought was a 286-10, with 1024k RAM, 20MB Hard Drive and EGA Graphics. Was awesome and cost me a couple of months pay. 1200/75 modem and Compuserve was the online option
It’s also one of the reasons I like my ‘classic car’- an MGB GT V8.
It is an ‘analogue car’.
No computer at all
