The good old days? 2015/07/10 03:09:51 (permalink) I started way back in '71 on an HP 2000 (we had a time share terminal at the school). So, no monitor. Just fan-fold paper that we would use four times (up and down both sides). We had a 110 BAUD acoustic coupler that we had to put the phone into and then quickly hit the Line Feed and Return buttons alternatively until it connected. We later found out that if we were to whistle into the phone during the acknowledgement tone at exactly 14k Hz, we could get it to sync up at 300 BAUD. That was moving man! We almost couldn't read the printout as fast as it was being generated! Hehe... Time for all of you to head over to Beyond My DAW! #37

I mean, they worked, but we were always fiddling around pushing and moving the telephone handset around every time the connection was lost. http://www.synkrotron.co.uk/ Intel Core™i7-3820QM Quad Core Mobile Processor 2.70GHz 8MB cache \| Intel HM77 Express Chipset \| 16GB SAMSUNG 1600MHz SODIMM DDR3 RAM \| NVIDIA GeForce GTX 675M - 2.0GB DDR5 Video RAM \| 500GB Samsung 850 Pro SSD \| 1TB Samsung 850 Pro SSD \| Windows 10 Pro \| Roland OCTA-CAPTURE \| SONAR Platinum ∞ FFS\| Too many VSTi's to list here \| KRK KNS-8400 Headphones \| Roland JP-8000 \| Oberheim OB12 \| Novation Nova \| Gibson SG Special \| PRS Studio #38

The good old days? 2015/07/10 04:23:15 (permalink) I was eleven in '75 and started with computers in a very similar way, except ours was on a table in the corner of the room. No acoustic couplers. I think it was a DG Nova, or Nova 2, and every time it crashed (often) it had to be re-booted using a front panel switch sequence. We had 3 tty terminals (that had built in paper tape punch/readers) and... a VDU!!! OMG we used to fight over using the VDU.. I still have tinnitus from those tty's. Mekashi Futo.

The good old days? 2015/07/10 05:06:11 (permalink) I never had to deal with paper tape, but I did use cards a few times. The joke there was to rubber cement two card together near the end of the tray (and not from your own programming box of course!). Then the reader would process just fine until it hit those glued cards - hehe... Time for all of you to head over to Beyond My DAW! #40

How you could not remember, that if you typed SCRATCH "MY BALLS", it would respond with "DEVICE NOT PRESENT ERROR"?
