| 01:07.31 | mindjuju | wps, you still around? |
| 01:08.17 | mindjuju | don't mean to tempt you, but i think this is a price drop from what i told you yesterday on that 1T SATA - http://shop1.outpost.com/%7BPfkLZELkVD1LGZGbhqJMUw**.node3%7D/product/4924331 |
| 01:09.08 | mindjuju | 139 for 750G SATA, 16MB buff, 7200 RPM |
| 01:36.21 | burnin | nice, $240 for 1TB |
| 01:44.34 | mindjuju | that's so funny to think that its .24 per G |
| 01:44.43 | mindjuju | remember when it was .24 / MB ? |
| 01:50.35 | burnin | heh, I remember when it was a couple hundred for a 90k 5-1/4" floppy drive. http://www.atarimuseum.com/computers/8bits/400800/810/810.html |
| 01:50.36 | burnin | :) |
| 01:53.14 | mindjuju | got me bet there, my first was compaq laptop/suitcase with monochrome and DUAL 5 1/4 drives and 10MB hdd |
| 01:53.40 | mindjuju | the one where the keyboard was the bottom of the case and covered the computer screen |
| 01:53.53 | burnin | cool, still have it? |
| 01:54.04 | mindjuju | nope |
| 01:54.09 | mindjuju | long long gone |
| 01:54.28 | mindjuju | 8086 if i recall |
| 01:54.49 | burnin | either that or 8088 |
| 01:54.57 | burnin | I think the XTs first came with the 8088 |
| 01:55.20 | burnin | the 8086 was an upgrade and could run at a faster clock rate, the ole' turbo button. :) |
| 01:56.26 | mindjuju | that's funny, haven't thought about the Turbo, didn't have Turbo on that lap, but do remember Turbo on another one |
| 01:57.33 | burnin | the first PC I had was an ITT XT, I purchased an upgrade board which included a card that plugged into an ISA slot, had an 8086 CPU, and a ribbon cable that went from the board to the socket where the 8088 used to be. |
| 01:58.05 | burnin | it included a button that plugged into the card to switch between I believe 4Mhz and a whopping 10Mhz. |
| 01:58.19 | mindjuju | that's awesome |
| 01:58.21 | burnin | I think most PCs with a turbo button were 4 and 8 |
| 01:58.23 | mindjuju | got pics? |
| 01:58.35 | burnin | get this, it also came with a mouse and Windows 1.1 :) |

| 01:58.53 | mindjuju | i never saw windows 1.1 ! |
| 01:59.08 | mindjuju | First windows I logged time on was Windows 3.11 |
| 01:59.13 | mindjuju | otherwise i was DOS |
| 01:59.14 | influx^^ | same |
| 01:59.31 | influx^^ | My first experience with windows was in 1st Grade. |
| 01:59.42 | mindjuju | sup influx^^ |
| 01:59.44 | influx^^ | nm |
| 01:59.49 | influx^^ | hammering away at the workload |
| 01:59.55 | burnin | I don't have a pic, I don't have the ITT XT anymore either, but I think I still have the upgrade board, maybe even the Windows 1.1 floppies. |
| 01:59.55 | influx^^ | going home in an hour. |
| 02:00.04 | mindjuju | man, was looking for a pic of the compaq laptop, but can't seem to find anything |
| 02:01.24 | burnin | http://www.vintage-computer.com/compaq_portable.shtml ? |
| 02:02.14 | mindjuju | oh man, THAT was it! |
| 02:02.19 | mindjuju | played Zork on that thing! |
| 02:02.30 | influx^^ | zork! |
| 02:02.48 | burnin | http://www.classiccmp.org/dunfield/pc/h/cppc.jpg |
| 02:02.50 | mindjuju | you know, i thought it had an HDD, but it isn't listed |
| 02:02.50 | burnin | zork, lol |
| 02:02.58 | mindjuju | i wonder if i'm confused and remembering wrong |
| 02:03.13 | influx^^ | I played zork for a few minutes, wasn't very good at it... gave up and became a mudder years later. |
| 02:03.45 | burnin | yeah, I didn't like zork, when you walk north, then south and you end up in a different place than you started, something is hosed. :) |
| 02:04.10 | mindjuju | must be remembering that mazey kind of place |
| 02:04.13 | influx^^ | That wasn't particularly fun, now. |
| 02:04.14 | influx^^ | no* |
| 02:04.18 | burnin | but I didn't mind the text based adventure games. |
| 02:04.22 | influx^^ | But, there were a few places like that in the MUD. |
| 02:04.30 | influx^^ | I enjoyed the social aspect of things. |
| 02:04.38 | burnin | actually wrote one myself, a modular system where you could create/load different game modules. |
| 02:04.44 | influx^^ | It was like playing D&D over the net with new friends. |
| 02:04.48 | influx^^ | burnin: rock |
| 02:05.03 | burnin | one of the local Atari BBS's converted it to an online game for their BBS. |
| 02:05.15 | influx^^ | multi-line bbs? |
| 02:05.32 | burnin | yeah, but the game wasn't multiplayer. |
| 02:05.33 | influx^^ | ahhh |
| 02:05.36 | influx^^ | gotcha |
| 02:06.12 | burnin | the name of the bbs slips my mind now, but one of the kids running it was pretty good at making graphic art on the 8 bit computers, think he won some awards. |
| 02:06.24 | influx^^ | rad |
| 02:08.46 | influx^^ | I i/w 4 |
| 02:13.14 | burnin | have something else funny. :) |
| 02:13.27 | burnin | I have a working Atari 130xe |
| 02:13.30 | burnin | setup |
| 02:13.32 | burnin | working |
| 02:13.33 | burnin | :) |
| 02:13.42 | mindjuju | still? |
| 02:13.57 | burnin | I have a little linux based PC that runs a floppy drive emulator and I have tons of floppies on it. |
| 02:13.58 | burnin | lol |
| 02:14.12 | burnin | the kids have just as much fun with the games as I did in the day |
| 02:14.21 | burnin | mindjuju, still |
| 02:14.39 | mindjuju | i need to find a copy of hard hat mac -- i was pretty good at that game |
| 02:15.12 | burnin | I had to replace the DC power supply about 10 years ago, it went sour and was putting out AC. |
| 02:15.19 | burnin | fortunately it didn't fry the atari |
| 02:17.07 | mindjuju | yeah, that's always a scary thing |
| 02:23.49 | dataw0lf | what's up guys. |
| 02:25.54 | mindjuju | sup |
