Hi! I'm road trip and I joined the club last Wednesday.

I like skiing, taking pictures, and walks in the woods. While I read a lot of non-fiction science books, occassionaly I'll curl up next to the fire with a Mens Journal or Powder magazine.
You got a 128K?

I still have one of these:

It's across the ocean tho.
i had one of these back in the day:

beats the mac hands down :)
Now, Macs were in Office Space, were they not?
Definitely not War Games, though.

Those are sweet. My only claim to weird *nixes is a SCO box and an HP-UX workstation.Quote:

Dear road trip,
Welcome to the club. There are lots of benefits. All our members get a free black mock turtleneck and the food is protein deficient so that you can more readily accept the Steve's RDF broadcasts.
Sincerely,
Arty
Member for 18 years
Don't forget the free king-sized ceramic cappucino cup and a CD of jazzy walking bass lines.Quote:

the reverse-engineered AppleII sold in the eastern bloc :)
if we have to pick favourites though, the Amiga 500 wins for me: it's the reason i didn't get out of the house for two years straight.

My first Mac was a Mac+, and I've actually used a Lisa too. The really sad thing is my dad's company threw away 2 Lisas...right in the trash...now just one of those is worth around $10,000. :nonono2:
Ah, the classic mad-at-parents-for-throwing-out-baseball-cards issue!Quote:

Can't wait to get my mock turtleneck! I'll have to look for the little card to send in to request it... I'm sure it was somewhere in the packaging.
i am using the very same right now. practical, simple to use and steezy as hell tooQuote:

*SNAP*
Isn't that how Office Space started???
I've got all you guys beat. At work I regularly still use an SGI machine, and a couple of months ago, I was at a standstill on some work I was doing because the hard drive on our VAX machine went down. Yes, I said VAX machine.
The most amazing thing? The VAX machine tech guy came in and had a new drive installed in about a week. Turns out the drives on that machine only last about 8-10 years. This was the 2nd time we had to replace it. You can do the math on how long it's been in service.
My first programming class in college we all got accounts on a VAX.Quote:

i don't know if you know this, or even care, but youtube has longplays for most of the major amiga games. i really enjoyed watching the Loom replay. brought back a lot of memories :)
I really want to find that mystery mansion emulator that I found along time ago. Ahhh the days of text games.
You enter a room. There is a body on the floor.
I used to think this was the schizzle on my MacPlus:
