That is crazy old. I saw a tandy computer store once, but it closed down. On a side note, perhaps microsoft really does own us all.

Well the thing is stone age by modern standards but it was cool in its day.

Yes, it must have been cool especially if it was about the newest thing computer wise. People hadn't really thought about computers being small enough to fit into a room.....well maybe not that old but whatever.

Well i don't know if it was the newest but i doubt there was anything much better at the time.

But still, look at the computers we have today. In a few years, our kids will tell us that they are primitive and old.

Afew years? my computer already fits that category unfortunately.

Yes, we'll soon be old men (and women) yammering on to our grandkids about our 80 gigabyte, 256 ram, 2 gigahertz computers while they want to go play virtual reality (really-real reality) games on their 900 gigabyte, 30 gigahertz, brain-implant-controlled machines. How I dread that day...

I know....haha only 2ghz, huh? Mine is already inferior then it is only 1ghz
Posted: Sun Jun 01, 2003 9:07 pm
GHZ i dont want to hear either of you complain about your computers then mine are both still measured in Mhz.
Posted: Sun Jun 01, 2003 9:12 pm
Oh...how many? You must be so inferior.
Posted: Sun Jun 01, 2003 11:48 pm
The better of the two is a 560 mhz which is at the low end of the spectrum for whats still a workable computer the other one i only use online is two embarrasingly low to tell.

I've used computers since before I can remember. Of course when your dad works for IBM it definitely helps. Unfortunately, his last day will be on Friday due to the fact that he's getting laid off. I think he might try and buy another computer with his employee discount this week though.

Sorry to hear he is getting laid off hope you can ge tthat computer before then though.

He might have found another job at SBC though. He'd take a pay cut, but considering tuition for me went up 60% for this next year it's a good thing.
Posted: Mon Jun 02, 2003 7:15 pm
I know what is the deal with tuition at private schools these days? Mine just keeps going up 5 or 10%. Now it is at 14,500 dollars a year!
Posted: Mon Jun 02, 2003 8:10 pm
Holy cow!!! Mine is only $6,500 a year and we can barely afford it.
Posted: Mon Jun 02, 2003 8:26 pm
Tuition is going up everywhere especialy college tuition.

Great! Can't wait.
