'Safe'
Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
I used to have one of the old Kaypro lunchbox computers. I think those may have been 8086 or 8088.
I remember having a 5 MB hard drive. That seemed massive. I ran a BBS on an Apple IIgs off of it.
Now my cellphone has a 512MB memory card in it and I'm sitting in a train lounge with a laptop that has a 17" screen surfing the web without wires.
I remember when running two applications at once on one machine seemed decadent. Heee, MultiFinder!
I've thought about eBay, but the shipping on this monster would be horrendous.
I've seen computers like that on eBay, connie. Just be upfront about how much the shipping will be - someone might still buy it.
MultiFinder!
Yeah, it was like, about time! I remember getting an external disk drive for my MacPlus and being thrilled because it cut down on my floppy-swapping.
Yeah. I Microsoft Office 4.2 which shipped on something like 40 floppies for the Mac. I think they were even all HD.
The digital video recorder company on Friday will give away 40GB Series 2 recorders to Comcast customers who bring their cable bill and a gift for The Family Giving Tree charity to TiVo headquarters in Alviso, Calif. The giveaway will last from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., or until they run out of units, and will be limited to one recorder per household.
Service fees are not included the giveaway, which is only for first-time TiVo owners.
I've got WordPerfect 5 on 5-inch floppies. There aren't even any dead computers in my house with floppy drives that big. I suppose it's time to send the discs to the great disk drive in teh sky.
Okay, my old employer is giving me back access to my email and other computer clusters for 24 hours. So I have download ALL of my email archives and other files in this period of time.
I can do the computer file stuff. It will be a pain, but I can manage it.
However, the IMAP email is a PITA. Anyone know if there is a way through Eudora, Thunderbird, or other program where I can download all the IMAP folders together and without needing to do it folder by folder?
Is there anyone who knows Javascript around here?
It's for something I can look up in an O'Reilly book if I can manage to hold the book without repeatedly hitting myself over the head with it....
eta: I think my real problem is that I need to go for a walk. Or else get lunch. Maybe both.
