Post by thread:[OT]: Mother-board fixing and going way OT ;o)

>> Kat (in desperation mode as 18 year old males get pissed off easily) >Sorry Kathy, no help for you, but I just can't help thinking what it >would be like if my mother was able to fix my PC for me. It is totally >un imaginable. Hahaha, got me some nice memories (not RAM or ROM) now ;o) When I had a part-time BBS at home, I used to phone my mother to ask her to turn on the main server, turn on the workstation where the BBS ran, type B B S and ENTER on the keyboard, wait for the boot up, read the screen for me and turn the key that turned off the phones of the house, directing the connection to the modem... In that days mom said "she was already put into the future" because she knews how to operate a computer ;o) Of course it was in the days of "prehistoric computing" - My college (it was one of the biggest in my area) had less computers than my house ;o) >You must be a mom worth a million (Yup, you can send this to your son). Every mom worth a million! ;o) >Still shaking my head. >Quentin >(Oh, at 18 I was drooling over my friend's ZX81, do your own sums.)

Oh gosh a ZX81 , I was the proud constructor of a ZX80 with a massive 1K ram and thought I was in heaven when I bought the 16K fall off the back and hang if sneezed pack. colin -- http://www.piclist.com#nomail Going offline?

And I was jumping for joy upon getting a floppy disk drive (128K!) for my maxed-out 48K RAM Apple II. No more cassettes! In some ways, working with PICs brings me back to those days. Except for the mnemonics, PIC assembly language is not so different from 6502.

I had a 64K one, with CPM and things like this ;o) >In some ways, working with PICs brings me back to those days. >Except for the mnemonics, PIC assembly language is not so different >from 6502.
