Pictures of computers in use from the '60s through '80s. I think my fave is the business guy in the oddly colored suit using a TRS-80 with cassette interface.

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 love the 60's picture of a line drawing of a woman in a bikini. Computers and porn, they just belong together.

Did you notice that he's writing with his right hand while typing with his left? He's a true multitasker.
Most of the pictures look to be from the very late '70s to the very early '80s, all those PETs, Trash 80's, and CoCos
Our very first system at work was one of these. The not so little box to the right of the TRS-80 is a 5 MB hard drive, which cost $5000 in 1984 dollars.
I have a price list from a computer store in San Diego from about 1984 that has a few hard drives on it. None bigger than 5MB and at least one was close to $10,000 if I remember right.
The guy rippiing paper as if to say its not needed anymore. That was hillarious! Also the boy carrying the computer with the girl carrying the tape drive was cute, in a "can I carry your books for you" kind of way.
I remember when I thought my 40MB hard drive was huge. Nowadays I'm thinking I could really use one of the new terrabyte drives.
Okay, can someone more web-savvy than me tell me if I'm being crazy or just plain wrong?
We're trying to publish files to a website. The person who used to update the website only knows that she used Front Page to do it. The screenshot she sent me said:
"Specify the location to publish your web to:" 134.xxx.xx.xx:8000/foldername
(Assume that that's a correct IP address with an http and a real folder name and everything.)
To me, that says she's using FTP to send the files to the webserver. Am I wrong? Is there another option?
It sounds like their using HTTP to send files, with Front Page extensions enabled on the server.
Yeah, I think that's the case.
Is it possible to send files using HTTP if you don't have Front Page? Can some ftp clients do that (i.e. specify HTTP instead of FTP)?
eta: I think you can mount a web server (i.e. an HTTP address) to Windows Explorer. So then you could just drag and drop....
Oh. I don't really know anything about Front Page. Crap. Is this bad?
