I remember being intrigued by the control keys being a different color. I was... young(er than the rest of you apparently). ;-).

Madelaine McMasters Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Just now, Xerxes Kingstop said: and I believe that was called a 'portable computer' at the time. hehehehe That wasn't even the computer. That's just a terminal. The computer was in a rack the size of a refrigerator. Yet you're right, it was a "minicomputer" and by the standards of the day, it was quite small. I very barely remember that thing. It wasn't until the next one that I really got interested. That was smaller, about the size of a tower PC and it had two terminals. I could chat with Dad in his office while he was in the shop (a few steps away). And so began my life of text chat. I needn't explain its allure to anyone here. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhonda Huntress Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Clover is out of town this weekend. I know I'm supposed to feel sappy for missing her ... but I am thinking it would be funny to move in SL. We have a Linden home we use Oh! Better yet, completely redo the house so it looks like someone else lives there now. With a security orb that keeps sending her home ... which is at the Linden home. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a security orb that keeps sending her home ... which is at the Linden home. plus a brand new alt to be parked on a poseball there somewhere? Maybe two! The sort of poseball for which most people prefer privacy of course. Plus, I'd make the delay on the security orb rather long so that she has time to take in the scene. No advanced warning popups, though. Am I helping here? Edited May 19, 2017 by Xerxes Kingstop 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you type, the typewriter moves in the opposite direction as seen in the gif, but - what she did is what you would do if you want to continue typing. Unless I'm not seeing the gif correctly, which is possible, since my eyes are bad and stuff. ETA: oh, oops, you guys already moved past that.
