One of the things that sticks in my memory was we got my mom a cribbage game for the Mac, tried to load it and we couldn't play "don't you know what day it is?" And it would not let though play. Could you imagine someone pulling that poo poo now?

I supported these for Sony in 2001ish.. the mental capacity of the users was highly diminished. Generally old folk or trailer park people. The modems were generally poo poo so it was power cycle try to connect, and read the code on screen, " I ain't gunna lie, I can not view and or download pornography right now" "I know I'm safe because tires are good conductors, but I was driving home with my back windows open and there was a storm is it possible lightening went through my back windows and shorted out the modem when I was on my way back from the store?"

Okay so all this vcr chat a few pages ago and not one person talked about vcr+. You'd open up tv guide or your newspaper tv listings and enter in a code and your vcr would be set to record that show.

the biggest issue with the imac and emac was that the cooling was mostly done through large holes in the top.. that collected dust.. eventually the dust would pile up on the inside, and cause the monitor to die under the right conditions.

Germstore posted:I have a DVD burner in my PC. Its primary function is supporting the sata power cable that an SSD is dangling from. Same. But I used it for a few weeks to rip all my dvds of movies so I never had to use physical media... I haven't opened it in ages becsuse now I just get movies via streaming. Technically the drive belongs in a different pc but I've never had a need to move it back.

I worked for iomega's support company and the clicking drive wasn't that big of an issue and you got a free drive I'd that happened. It rarely wrecked data and actually could be fixed easily by doing something to your disks (I think it was put marker over the reflective pattern in the corner).. but you got a free drive if you heald the phone to the clicking drive. Most of the problems were driver issues (4+ parallel or us controllers with multiple drivers) etc that were just signs of the times for PC's then. Yes the parallel drives were super slow but it was a loving parallel port. When they outsourced to India I got moved to Sony TiVo, webtv and satellite boxes... God drat those were lovely products.

I seem to remember telling folks to cover this portion (triangle in top left) of the disk with sharpie.. cant remember why it would sometimes fix the click of death but it was used as a stopgap while their new drive arrived.

My buddy is all sad he can't remote into work anymore with his top of the line gaming laptop* that his dad gave him. *From 2006 I should have nabbed a picture. Its running Windows Vista, has never had an update run on it. IE7, weighs about 15 pounds has a 17" screen. He's pissy because he doesn't want to spend money on another computer and hates technology and doesn't understand why it won't work after the most recent tech update for remote accrss because 'it works fine'. Which in his terms means it boots up and opens IE. I explained to him that he no longer has any tube TVs in house, and doesn't watch movies on a DVD player anymore. Just drop the $200 on a i3 or i5 desktop from microcenter so you can work from home a 2 days a week.. he lives in the boonies he'd save at least 15 a week in gas doing so. tater_salad has a new favorite as of 15:10 on May 5, 2018 |

Buttcoin purse posted:Words We work for a large international bank.. they don't take security etc lightly, their client no longer works with his PC because it's old as poo poo. Yes you can drive 30+ year old cars and they require more maintenance are less safe. Basically he's using something thats outlived it's useful life and beyond and he's whining about it. When I drive my classic car I don't expect it to work the same as my modern car and I also have a modern car because I'm not relying on a 30 yesterday old vehicle as my mode of transportation.
