[quote who="pelaird" reply="3996918" id="542165"] still have a Macintosh Plus that works. I also have the ImageWriter dot matrix printer, but I'm not sure if it works. [/quote] I recently gave 'my' Apple 2C to my brother in law... I actually paid all of $5 AUD for it complete ...;)

My Brother in law gave me that exact model, green screen and all. It had a 1 meg ram expansion card... was the full length of the box...more than a foot long. I eventually got rid of it, but not long after I went to the Melbourne Museum to see the last/only fully complete and working First Generation computer [Csirac], and outside the room it was inhabiting behind glass was that same computer above. That's when I thought maybe I should have kept it...;)

[quote who="DrJBHL" reply="3995259" id="541944"] An s-load of round about to add one simple choice which should have been there from the get go had the devs devoted minimal thought. [/quote] The original skinner just left the feature off...which is a bit silly, really.

Now, ignoring the Sysmetrix in the bottom right that I've used since forever [a compilation of my old Seiko watch face and Treetog's Antares Two graphics]... I've been using VLC as my media player for yonks but just used what was available online as a skin of choice. Issue was that the one I like did not accomodate the option for always on top, so I had to delve into an entirely ali

I "had to" reboot my Win7 machine yesterday, Kaspersky had an update and popped up the reboot request, and I was having an issue with MS Teams ... so what the heck... Checked my 'uptime' as it tends to be long .... turns out the last time I'd shut down was when I was away overnight last... and that was about a week before Christmas, 2025. Uptime was 180-something days. It's really nice when your OS is no longer supported and you don't have to cope with bullshit MS Upda

[quote who="DrJBHL" reply="3994636" id="541733"] I remember her husband did give permission to upload...and no one has IP rights to a color.

[quote who="teddybearcholla" reply="3993262" id="541620"] Paul, Try some out, borrow a friends hearing aids! [/quote] I was given a set from a friend...a fellow race official who got new ones via work compensation...just haven't got around to trying them out yet...;)

50 years as a Race Official with noise levels often over 120db and I'm pretty darn deaf but am yet to get hold of some Aids... probably because I really need to determine whether I action the likes of the FIA and FIM for failing to maintain a 'safe' work environment. Should be a shoe-in as I was required to wear their comms equipment all that time and it was obviously not up to the task of ear protection.

Now and then I look back on the Forum in the Admin site and see some of those "What we really need" posts. If, during the site rewrite someone would inadvertently connect the database of all the gallery comments so a single spam IP ban cleared all the instances in one fell swoop. I have a dream. One day all spam can be deleted equally [simultaneously] ....;)

Yes, that was me who prompted naroon1 to post his monthly AI graphics thread. It may not be something I will ever use, or want to use, but I know it's the future and is and/or will be extremely popular. I only know that because of my history of graphics without its use. ;)
