I built a big board used a Z80 and had 64kb ram; had four 8" SSSD flops
on it. GOt the cabinet and flops from where I worked at the time
(racal-Milgo) from stuff that was mothballed. This was circa 1980-1981.

Gotta luv the data cassette tape. Portable storage, even fit in

Tom, it gets better as I go back further in time. I had to use
a cassette tape for storage with my TRS-80 - no floppy ;)

LOL! Here we go again with the "dating game" :)
My first "laptop" was this:

It was really cool but weighed as much as sewing
machine which was the term we gave it.

My first "LAP"top was a Kaypro 10, thank goodness
I didn't have to pay baggage on it since it was as
large as my travel bag... monochrome green screen
with a huge 10MB hard drive and ran hot enough to
fry an egg.

Haha... You young people don't remember the term
WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get)... A term

actually LOOKED on your screen like they were

I had a revolutionary idea technological in the
early 90's... I called it WYGIWYM... What you get
is what you MEAN. I'da been a qua-jillionaire
but I didn't execute. Oh well.

I'd pay a little more when they come out with
the auto-install feature...
Maybe one day - Auto-Everything. Just take
it out of the box and plug it in. It figures
out what to do where...
They can call it AIRverywhere

FYI…………
I’m hesitant to jump into UBNT Beta firmware
for large scale deployment, lesson learned
the hard way……… But the latest includes
channel hopping and Auto channel. I’ve had
ongoing issues with random interference and
every couple of weeks or so have had to
change my frequencies on pretty much all my
UBNT radios. But I took the plunge with this
new beta and it’s been SOLID for me for a
week now. I tried the channel hopping but it
was too busy for me. My noise floor was all
over the place. SUCKED and way too random
for me BUT just doing a simple AUTO
channel…………. Smooth as silk! My
interference is now GONE. My throughput has
increased and my noise floor went from an
average -85 to a -95 to -100 average.
Running 5GHz on all links…….. I call this
one a WIN!
As I said, FYI. Nothing but good on this
UBNT Beta. It’s about time! J
Just sharing.
