What about the Lions winning the Superbowl?
HEY!! At least we've been to one and came within a John Kasay out of bounds kickoff of winning one.What about the Lions winning the Superbowl?
They'll win one before the Panthers do!
what kind of office is it?What about DOS? It sure seems to be going to the way side these days. Unix / Linux will most likely continue, but the ol' 2MB hard drives in the PC-XT's will be a long forgot past time. Or even Lotus 123 (Does that even still exist?)
I still have an atari with about 20 games, somewhere in storage. Finally got rid of the last PC-XT and AT parts that were in the bin here a few months back.
I also know of an office that still utilizes the BIG floppy disks (larger than 5-1/2"!). They do all of their weekly backups on it. Main computers there are still monochrome monitors and AT motherboards. My first laptop had more computing power & memory than their entire system! Scary part is that they are still utilizing this technology. It is very funny to watch new employees try to learn the system as everything is DOS based!
Computer punch cards.^^ Ironically......I don't know what that is?

I still have a Toshiba T5200 "portable" computer. 386/20 machine with 8Mb ram. It uses DOS5.0 as an OS.
Those are still fairly common down here.Speaking of which kids today will never experience an actual punch time clock/card system for work.
Speaking of a generation of wussies - I saw another story on the Today show this morning about bullies. Back when I was growing up, my parents said to stand up for myself against bullies. They said never start a fight, but be damn sure to finish one. Nowadays, these kids are killing themselves because they get picked on. A bunch of kids at this one high school are even facing felony charges for it. I'm not condoning their behavior, but to put kids on trial for bullying? Who hasn't either made fun of someone in their lives or been made fun of in return? It's time for people to take some suckitup.I was talking to the old lady and the kids about this over the weekend..... kids these days have no idea what a real cartoon is.
Back when I was a young'en we had shows like Voltron, GI Joe, Thundercats, Transformers, X-Men, Spiderman... shows with fighting, destruction and awesomeness!!! Shoot, even Captain Planet, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and the freakin Gummy Bears had some action. Before that there was Johnny Qwest, He-Man, Birdman, Space Ghost.
What do kids these days have as rolemodels? Bob the Builder and Dora the Explorer.
We're raising a generation of wussies. :f_115m_e45d7af:
