I did, however, have the opportunity to work on some older military equipment. I graduated from 1960's era tube radar equipment to some old Sperry Univac systems. We used TI Silent 700 thermal printers (we don't need no stinkin' monitors) for i/o. And if I could have a dollar for every card I've punched.... <sigh> the good old days. And, oh oh oh, our hard drive! It was a CDC Hawk with a fixed 5MB hard platter! Man, it screamed, especially when the heads crashed, which happened on a regular basis. Back in those days, when you had a head crash, you cleaned it, replaced the heads, platter, and absolute filter, aligned the heads, and put it back into service. I could do that in less then an hour. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Edward Luna" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <hlds@list.valvesoftware.com> Sent: Tuesday, April 18, 2006 9:50 AM Subject: RE: [hlds] re: Disabled Account > ROFL... only 20 years?
