Playing the Styx MUD from dumb-terminals at the White Sands Missile Range while working graveyard to put myself through school (They weren't too happy when they found out, but we did helpe them discover a few security holes -)ĩ-Track tape errors during full backup's of 80's era BBN mainframes (3 reel backups took ~120 mintues and a tape error on the last reel meant you had start from the beginning)įinding it cool to love Netscape over ("evil empire") Explorer until I actually had to code HTML - and then promptly inverting that sentiment. Re-naming command.sys in a vain, last-ditch effort to get X-wing to run on my 486SX25 (The first/last time I took a computer to a repair shop) Typing in the code for a game on a TRS80 only to have the tape storage fail when persisting to storage.
I ended up hiring kids from down street to read the long list of HEX values and CRC codes to me.īuying a printer to work with PaperClip and having to type the printer's control codes directly into the application. Typing in games from the back of COMPUTE! magazine. Spock created entirely in ASCII on a TSR-80 and a 9-pin dot matrix printer. Printing out 40+ page or more giant-posters of Mr. Using a regular cassette tape to play games on a Commodore Vic 20. Telling everyone to be quiet so the acoustic coupler on a 300 baud modem could do its thing. Using a standard paper hole punch to punch another write-protect notch in a 5 1/4" floppy to make it double-sided. Upgrading my PC/XT by meticulously adding dozens of DIPs to an QUADBOARD expansion. Later running it under OS/2, then OS/2 Warp. Running a multi-node WildCAT! BBS under DesqView. Upgrading to DR-DOS and getting compression for free. Then getting better than QEMM and using intuition to get better results. Using QEMM to rearrange all the TSRs in upper and extended memory. What's your list? Is it a list of suffering? Of joy? Of great fun? Of accomplishment? What's 10 Awesome Things You Remember About Computers? Here's a totally random, completely useless collection of things I remember doing/accomplishing/working on while I was "coming up" in computers. Either way, it was different and now it's a part of you. Maybe you learned with punch cards or maybe your first machine was a *gulp* Pentium. The best part, of course, is that my "olden days" aren't yours. Mostly just random reminiscing but it got me remembering the fun we had "suffering" in the olden days. The answers were marked with the #goonline hashtag. Great fun on Twitter today as I asked when folks went online for the first time in their lives.
