Maybe that is why I like this crowd. THese forums are not TOO different than the old message boards! Not as much flaming, but that is fine. I remember that we used to have a local board hopper that went by the name "$.02". Used to start fights about everything. It was fun just to watch this guy rant about absolutely nothing.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,9135201 Tue, 20 Jan 2004 11:45:48 EDT Re: Remind anyone of TV? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,9133058 Jigsaw :

Actually, I am not as old as I make myself sound, I just feel that way. I was about 7 when I would play around with the machines at Taft College, where my Mother went to school, and would sit there and watch her work, then actually started working on them with her.

In High School, I worked on a CCC Mainframe system with about 60 terminals... we also had a smaller lab with a Commodore Pet, PC Jr., and a couple Ataris(computers).

Wanna really go back... first "Computer" I worked on used punch cards. You stack them in, write the program, then run them back through to execute the program... this causes more cards to be punched out, you then run those through to get the answer. It was sometimes quicker to pull out the old slide rule. HAHAHA! Now unless you have some stone tablets, I MIGHT have you beat.

Nah. Oldest system I worked on was the teletype terminals in my school district's high school computer lab. Fortunately, I was in the accelerated learning program when I was using them. So, by the time I actually was in high school, they'd been replaced with Apple ]['s.

Real fun was 300bps acoustic-coupler modems and all you had was ANSI art.

Amazing how not very long ago there was no internet.

How long do you consider "not very long"?? It's been around, in one form or another, longer than quite a few members of DSLR have been alive - even me (and I'm just a few days shy of 34). Or, did you simply mean, "the commercial Internet"?
