LittleMe Jewell Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 My daughter made me sick (she was sick much of the Thanksgiving weekend). I spent all day hacking at work (while everyone there glared at me) and tonight the coughing is now accompanied by sneezing fits. I think I'll call it an early evening - maybe even sleep in a bit in the morning and then work from home. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeta Vandyke Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Something terrible has happened this morning. Came at the office, and the coffee machine died.. But swift action after calling the coffee emergency number, an engineer just reanimated the machine and can now finally have a proper start of the day! good morning! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hippie Bowman Posted December 2, 2017 Author Share Posted December 2, 2017 Hi Everyone! I want to set up some guidelines for the breakfast club. I have posted this to the groups used for the breakfast club. The breakfast club is meant to be a place where people can come together without fear of persecution because of their beliefs, whether it be religion, political standings or life pursuits. You can belief in anything, or any god you chose. That is fine. But when words are said that infringe on the beliefs of others can not be tolerated. This includes any words that my offend the religious beliefs of others, and words of violence to anyone. I am a firm believer in peoples rights to belief in what they think that is right for them. But the breakfast table is not a place to spew words of hate and violence. I hope you all can understand this. In the future this will not be tolerated. As I have said, the breakfast club is a place for us to all get together to enjoy each other in peace and in love. I do enjoy strong heated debates. However the breakfast table is not a place for this. Dig? Thank you. Your breakfast guru, Hippie. Peace! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhonda Huntress Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 I'm thinking about getting a new hard drive for my PC. What do you think, is it worth it? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes! It's much cheaper than the ones I used to see in Byte magazine. Those drives were about the same price but only had a 5 MB capacity. However, for $330 I could have matched the 12MB with a mere 66 180KB 5.25" floppies. In 1981 I was only paying $50 for 10 of them. Access time would have been significantly longer. A 4 TB internal drive is somewhere in the $100 - $150 range today, so one at $125 costs $0.00003125/MB. That's a bit of an improvement over the $249.58/MB cost of that 12 MB disk system. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet that 1,000,000:1 improvement in storage/computing power doesn't improve my productivity as much as the cordless power tools I'm amassing, though it does allow me to buy them online.

That's a bit of an improvement over the $249.58/MB cost of that 12 MB disk system. I'll see your 180KB 5.25" floppies and raise with 3.5" 1.44MB floppies (of which we all had stacks and stacks). When TB drives started getting to be the norm (especially in DVR systems), I did some math. These numbers are approximations only; I rounded both up and down quite a bit. The stack of 1.44MB's to equal 1TB of storage would be about 1.3 miles high. (I used .125" as the thickness of the 3.5's; I do still have a few of those around here somewhere but I don't have a micrometer nor calipers. Ask Maddy; I'm sure she has all that stuff. Or if you have enough, just see how many there are in one inch; you can eyeball that close enough with a ruler.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hippie Bowman Posted December 5, 2017 Author Share Posted December 5, 2017 (edited) Good morning all! Happy Tuesday! I remember back in the 80's when I was working at Paradyne, a now defunct telecommunications company, we had a Texas Instruments 4420 mini computer to run remote diagnostics on modems. It had two fixed disks each a whopping 5 meg each and 2 removable disks each 5 meg. It was state of the art at the time. I believe that my smart phone has more computing power than this dinosaur of a computer had! Peace!
