Sadly!?!? It's been about that since I did RPG and the nightmares still haunt me. You 
need the kind of help that no amount of OT postings on the Struts list can give you!

Homebuilt P4 1.8Ghz with 512MB RAM running Redhat 8 hooked up to my DSL

Toshiba Laptop (1Ghz Celeron) running XP Pro and Win98.

In the Bedroom:

Old P100 Toshiba Laptop my wife uses to surf.

Downstairs in the family room:

Homebuilt P3 1Ghz my 8yr old uses for games and homework.

In my pocket:

Palm Tungsten T networked into the home LAN via a Bluetake Bluetooth

On a side note, my office gets warm enough during the winter that it's
still 80 degrees there with all the heat turned off to that zone.

[OT] RE: Modern Computing (was RE: [OT] Ancient computing)

2003-03-05 Thread Hookom, Jacob John
I love my laptop, well, I shouldn't call it a laptop-- more properly termed a mobile 
desktop since the beautiful 16" screen leaves you with about 2 hours of battery life 
at a given sitting (I leave it plugged in all the time).  For the mobile P4 processor, 
I've been extremely happy with the performance, apps load up in a flash.  Granted you 
have to do some tweaking to remove all of the pre-installed Sony applications.
 
The screen though is like a billboard, just amazing, running at 1280x1024, everything 
is crisp and colorful.  Make sure you get some kind of service coverage, the batteries 
for it will run you about 400 dollars US.

I've been thinking about those 16" Sonys, how are they size-wise WRT
portability?  How is the 'desktop' version of the P4 when running on
battery?

you should check out http://www.mini-itx.com/ for small PCs.

My current machine is a lowly PIII 1GHz, but a parts for a 2.4GHz PIV are
calling my name from newegg...  My problem is that I need a new machine, my
wife needs a new machine and I also need a laptop - as I get older I'm less
and less willing to spend money on computers...

Here in South Africa technology was in the same state in the late 70s and
early 80s.
Doing computer studies meant complete coding sheet this week next week
receive punch cards and compile report if successfull compile you may even
get an execution report.
8 programs took the whole year to complete.
We actually went to visit the computer room half-way through our senior year
as a class trip. 
By that time I already had a ZX Spectrum and was laughing my at this room

OK, enough reminising ... what do people currently have?

I have a Mac tower with dual 550MHz G4 CPUs, 1.5Gb of RAM and the 22" CinemaDisplay 
flat panel monitor. I run Mac OS X 10.2.4 on it. And, it almost goes without saying

RE: [OT] Ancient computing

2003-03-05 Thread du Plessis, Corneil C
Here in South Africa technology was in the same state in the late 70s and
early 80s.
Doing computer studies meant complete coding sheet this week next week
receive punch cards and compile report if successfull compile you may even
get an execution report.
8 programs took the whole year to complete.
We actually went to visit the computer room half-way through our senior year
as a class trip. 
By that time I already had a ZX Spectrum and was laughing my at this room
ful of computer with not much more capability the my little spectrum.

My guess is early 70sbecause my first experience was also in high
school using an old IBM System ?? with 64k memory.It took up a complete
room.You saved your program by not dropping the punch cards.   If your
program didn't have any compile errors, it would be 20 minutes executing
until the output came out on the printer !

My first computing experience was in high school.  We had a room in 
the science lab with an old IBM computer - I think at one time it
was the state of the art mainframe.  But you would program with
toggle switches, and you could save your program to rolls of punch
paper.  If the paper role tore or got bent you were out of luck.

Anyone wanna guess how long ago that was.

I can go one better!

When I was a kid, my dad took me to the company he was installing a system
for and they had a room with a *valve* computer!!!   It had plug boards and
everything *sniff sniff* and they let me have a play before they ripped it
out.  All those cables...

Then, when I was working for Rolls Royce, we got to program the lathes using
punch cards!   Bloody marvelous!!  Hours of mindless tedium and bordom!

The first computer I used ran a simple assembler and had about 1k of 
memory.  I think it was a TI.  You had to toggle programs in or use the 
attachable  card reader (you had to feed them by hand, one at a time). 
There wasn't a card punch, so I had to work out the codes and punch them 
by hand.  Didn't need no stinking IDE.  Of course, it took hours to set up 
something that would loop, test and branch.

The first computer I used was a PDP-8/I.  It had 12K of 12 bit memory.
You used an ASR-33 teletype to talk to it.  You had to toggle in the
boot program via the front panel, then load a paper tape, then load
another paper tape.  It ran Edusystem 30 BASIC from DEC.

The next year, our school graduated to a PDP 8/a, which had a DECWriter
for a console and an 8" floppy drive.  You could use BASIC, or FORTRAN
II, or program it in raw assembler.  The operating system was OS/8, the
precursor to CP/M, and later DOS.

My first home computer (after owning a GE Terminet 300 terminal and a
300 baud modem in a wooden box for a while) was a TRS-80 level 1, 32K of
RAM!

Hey now.

I was just geeky at a very, very early age.

There's a difference... although... maybe I'd rather be old ;)

I made the switch to mac at home about a year ago and I love it. I have a dual 550MHz 
G4, 1.5Gb RAM, 60Gb HDD, OS X 10.2.4 and the 22" CinemaDisplay (flat panel). I feel so 
cheated when I come to work and use my measly 2GHz P4 w/ 512Mb RAM. The Mac just blows 
it away.

My first experience with programming was on a TI-994A. Had 4K RAM, I think, and no 
storage. Yes, you heard me right: no storage. Not a floppy. I would write a program 
and as soon as I turned the computer off it was gone forever.

My mom eventually bought me a tape recorder so I could save my stuff. I had to hit 
"record" then issue some command and it would start wailing into the tape recorder at 
somewhere around 110 bps.

Ahhh yes, those were the days.

A few years after this I graduated to one of the gray Mac 512k's. That was the last 
time I had a Mac, dammit! And I lked it. *sigh*

Load "coolGames", 8, 1 

I need to get a copy of M.U.L.E. I loved that game on the C64 or might
have been the C128 I played it on.

I'm a third-generation-young-guy programmer, but my dad worked on a 
system (Boston area) where the disk FAT was a physical book, and you 
only got disk space if the technician could thumb through the book and 
find you some contiguous space!

I used to type in hundreds of lines of BASIC (I think...) code from
magazines into my Timex Sinclair 1000, only to lose it all if someone bumped
the table and moved the wires ever so slightly.

Then I graduated to my Commodore 64, and repeated the process, typing in
hundreds of lines of (what I now know is) hexadecimal numbers.  But first
you had to type in the program for what was basically a hex editor, which
would calculate the checksum and match it against the last two digits on
each line of the code in the magazine saving you hours of double checking
every character to see where you messed up.  But now, now I could save it
all on my cassete tape drive!  (And later, a 5 1/4" floppy disk drive.)
