Welcome back, Princess! Good to see ya again!
Thank you both.
Prayers for you and wifey, Kaz
Oh man!!!! I remember dbase 3 and word perfect and lotus 123. Those were the good ole days!!!We use the memory above 256MB for a coupla virtual disks -- it really speeds up DBASE III. There's enough horsepower to also work on a Lotus 1-2-3 spreadsheet and a WordPerfect document, it only takes a couple seconds to switch between tasks
Seriously you guys need to stop making me laugh. My sides are splitting.
What types of tanks are they?
I still have several 5 1/4 disks. You could put 5 words on those now I think. LOL, how far we have come.
I have a bunch of EVODs, T3s and H2s I still use regularly. Bought a bunch more a few months ago for $1 for 5 of em, so I'm well stocked. Heck, they just work for me! I do have newer tanks I use too, but I still fall back on them all the time.
Hubby loves his T2's. Won't use anything else. Bought him 100 several months ago. <shrug> Whatever works.
Hi @Princessdee ! Don't think we have run across each other on this big forum. Pleased to meet ya! I recently joined the fun, but I know many of the other members.... Welcome back!
My first PC was a Sage II. It's what Apple bought to develop the Lisa. Two 5-1/4" floppies, none of that fancy-pants hard disk stuff. It ran the USCD p operating system, had reasonable Fortran and Pascal compilers.
Iss mah own day-um fault. I didn't check the server (for some reason, I thought it was newer than what it was.)

SQUORT!
I worked as an intern at Detroit Diesel Allison my last two college summers. I was allowed access to a Compaq "Portable" PC. Weighed about 30lbs. Keyboard snapped into position to be the base. Two floppy drives (we don't need no stinkin' Hard Drive!) and a teensy CRT - I programmed Lotus spreadsheets to analyze data. AMAZING money for the time.....

Maybe they are just out at my regular site. No time to search here from work. Uh.......at least without getting caught.
I finally chunked all mine. I do however still have one of my dad's 1969 IBM mainframe disks. That thing is huge and weighs a ton!
Personally I kinda liked the Kaypro II -- almost went that way in order to have a portable (only 26 lb )

When I was at RPI for a couple years I did a summer job working at the computer center -- transitioning from an IBM 360 to a 3030.The new 3030 data center was in the old Chapel. I was working in the basement punching twisted pairs in in the comms room when a thunderstorm came through. I got a jolt, lifted me and knocked me into the back wall (fortunately the room was only 6' wide). Turns out they hadn't connected the ground strap from the TELCO room floor (metal grid) to the main floor. D'oh
OUCH!The old disk packs were cool
