Hahaha....I started on Unix, still love it, "magic cookies" and all, used to have a dual boot system using DOS only and Linux..Mozilla was the browser, then Netscape blew everyone's mind, the IE came out, version 1.0, and a fellow project manager stood up from his pod, and proclaimed, "Microsoft will not be a player in the Internet", many agreed, myself and most others openly laughed at him...a year later we had t-shirts made with this on it and his name, 25 years later, he still has not lived this down.Quote:

Those were some fun times...now every 25 year old has a blog and is a web developer...sheesh...I had to learn GTML, then HTML, when it would change almost every week, and we used to use Notepad to code...remember pounding some sets of coding standards, no using authoring tools, no absolute paths in the code, only relative paths...was an awful lot of fun!
The illegal operation, or on one of my old computers, the Amiga, great machine, the Guru Meditation error, or always one of my favorites, someone's voice coming over your modem speaker, "click, click, click, Helllooooo...the phone's busted".
Also found out in the C64 and Vic20 days, the telco companies don't like it when you hop on their phone networks and pretend to be various type of operators, or pretend to be a pay phone...that wasn't fun when I was 15 years old....did you ever get the blue screen of death? And how many times did we do, and still do, the Vulcan salute, control, ALT, Delete!
Jimmy, that's probably your computer struggling under the load of loading 24,000 srp posts :D
that's easy to fix, he'll have the counter to 25000 in another minute or two

It's been my experience that SRP has been consistently crisp, clean, smooth and fast....very unlike my shaves :cry:
