MAC Users

[road trip]

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.

[bio-smear]

You got a 128K?

[wi3dzmin]

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

[road trip]

Now, Macs were in Office Space, were they not?

Definitely not War Games, though.

"How about a nice game of chess?"

Got you beat. I used to use a Tezro at my last job.

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

I used O2's for a while in grad school. Until the Linux machines blew them out of the water for processing speed and then they just sat idle.

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.

The Kool-Aid is definitely sweeter on this side.

I used to run my website off one of these:



48 whole MHZ, booyah!

My first computer = one of these:

My first computer = one of these:

mine was this:


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.

What I have now:

[Arty50]

My first computer:


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.

Ah, the classic mad-at-parents-for-throwing-out-baseball-cards issue!

Be prepared for many a "so how do I xxxxxx " questions! Actually, my sis is a long-time user so I'll be pestering her for my middle of the night computer questions.

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.

[Tristan]

What I have now:

i am using the very same right now. practical, simple to use and steezy as hell too

"I'm very disappointed in you, road trip. Don't you know, you're already wearing it. In fact, you can't see yourself wearing anything other that a black mock turtleneck. When I snap my fingers, you will immediately go down to the mall and buy one for every day of the week."

*SNAP*

[road trip]

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.

[bio-smear]

Yes, I said VAX machine.

My first programming class in college we all got accounts on a VAX.


The Commodore 64! My mom still has a picture of me on xmas morning standing in my underwear with the C64 box held above my head. I was 25 years old...

JK I was 9.

What you and ptavv decide to do in your spare time....

Double note: I rocked the Amiga

Triple Whipple Note: I rocked the TI/atari knock off w/ alpiner oh YEAH

In 2k7 for me that would be WoW.
