March 8, 201610 yr Geez, These kids are so out of touch with technology. How would they work in today's jobs that use Linux CLI? They look so lost. Daniel Moser

March 8, 201610 yr Moderator Oddly enough, I still have several "antique" computers: a 486i under DOS 3.1, a Pentium II under Win95, and a Pentium II under WinXP. While they aren't used every day, they are absolutely required for me to program older Motorola and Kenwood radios. The programming cables require a DB-15 Com port and the software will not run at all on more modern versions of Windows! Fr.

March 8, 201610 yr I really enjoyed that thank you .....brought back many memories. :smile: My FS Videos
March 8, 201610 yr Makes me feel old and I am not that old. 80486 is and always will be the best generation of PC's. The Pentium/Windows95 generation was the beginning of the dumbing down of the PC. These kids are evident of that. Matthew Kane I'm Dyslexic, what's an error to you is not to me
March 9, 201610 yr I'm a teenager. Got my first computer when I was 11 months old lol. My dad was a tech geek back then who occasionally built his PCs. I still have ALL of the computers I've used since then. One's a Windows 95 with a Pentium (can't remember which one, probably a II) and 512 MB of RAM, which from my understanding was quite a bit back then. After using that for a year, my dad got me a Windows 98 (I remember playing Driver 1 and some rally racing game with a joystick) with one of the higher-end Pentium III's. Unsure about the RAM. After that, I got a Windows 2000 which was REALLY nice. I can play FS2000 on almost max settings at a decent framerate lol. All of them STILL work somehow. And they run smoother than some of my older Windows 7 PCs. Anything older than Windows 95 is really foreign to me. :blush: My favorite part about these computers was the dial-up noise. So memorable. Oh, any of course I can't forget my favorite keyboard, the IBM Model M. Love the clicky noise. Philip LaBianca _____________________ "I think, therefore I am."
March 9, 201610 yr My favorite part about these computers was the dial-up noise. Don't your friends wonder why it's called 'dialing'?? There's no dial!?! So memorable. Oh, any of course I can't forget my favorite keyboard, the IBM Model M. Love the clicky noise. Thanks that made my day. IBM made some great hardware. I worked at IBM in Toronto in the early 1980's and they had those 3270 terminals that were built like tanks, and the keyboards made this nice chunky sound. :smile: Barry Friedman
