Hi all,

ORIGINAL: Nikademus

I can still very clearly remember when i got my first Disk Drive (5.25 floppy external)....it was an "Indus", all black and sleek. After a year of working with cassette tapes, it was pure magic.......the equivilent of going from an Abacus to a Tandy scientific calculator.

lol....learned my first "hack" using it too. (figured out a crude way to subvert SSI's initial "copy protection")

It was amazing how long those disks lasted too. They did not start to fail till the early 2000's at which point i finally made the decision to junk my Atari 800 and all the disks i had acumulated and had been lugging around for nearly 15 years. Of course now i regret it a bit given all the nostaliga sites that have popped up. But then again, emulators make such lugging obsolete and now that i have an actual USB Atari Joystick, the games can actually be played on a PC the way they were meant to be played.

I bought my 5.25" External floppy for my Commodore 64 in 1986 when I was in USA...

Gosh Termie. I didnt know you were such a romantic.



I most certainly am. Just don't see much reason to pull out that part of my personality around here...




Yikes! Just got a mental of mental image of Termie in a frilly shirt, sipping Absinthe, quoting Lord Byron or commiserating on The Sorrows of Young Werther



Really? Why?

T mentioned that he could be a romantic. I immediately thought of the Romantic movement that came about as a reaction to the Age of Reason. Great literature. Yet, if you notice, many of the Romantic authors wore frilly shirts, although oddly enough Mary Shelley did not.[:)]
None-the-less the mental image of our oft terse Dane lamenting his station as poor Young Werther did or perhaps giving impassioned orations exhorting people to live to the fullest as Don Juan does seemed different than the persona we've met. T does display a broad knowledge of music lyrics, even showtunes[:)] yet I picture him more in a postmodern vein. Remarque or Robert Graves with their disdain for the old ways and pragmatic observations of the human condition. I even goes so far as to say that T's impatience with knuckleheads and brusque prose may put him more in the company of Joseph Heller or Kurt Vonnegut rather than Goethe, Byron or Ludwig Achim von Arnim.

I hope that answers your question Onime.

T, if I have misread you based on the superficial contact that we share on these forums than I pray I have not offended. The fact you were able to pick out a couple quotes suggests that you have at least a passing familiarity with those authors[;)]

I can quote Groucho Marx at you if you like... No matter what they do or say, it makes no difference anyway, whatever it is, I'm against it!

And you haven't offended. If I was easily offended, I'd stay off the Internet completely...[;)]

18 months ago, Sara and I won a silent auction at the Carolina Hurricanes charity Casino Night.  Due to a lot of scheduling conflicts, the last part of that auction prize is finally taking place today.  We are going to play golf with two of the Hurricanes players, including my favorite NHL player, Erik Cole.  [8D]

[sprior]

Back from lunch, a whole baottle of Chateau de Chasselas under my belt.

Nothing quite like a good glass of Chateau de Chasselas, is there, Obadiah?
