I never used Windows 3.1 but I can sure remember buying software that still came on floppies. Our first PCs at work didn't even have CD drives, which made it interesting when you needed to install or reinstall, say, MS Word or Outlook or the software that made your printer work, all of which came on CD. :damn:

And I can still remember the HDD on my first work computer... it was a whole 1 gigabyte! :haha:

Aye reminds me of my first 'fast' chip, an 888Mhz with a whopping 1 1/2GB HD :DL

I can remember playing the old King's Quest by Sierra. It came on something like 17 floppy disks, and being an adventure game, you had to change floppies (and wait for it to load) almost every time you walked off the edge of the screen.

It went something like this:

Walk, walk, walk...

Please insert disk 13...

Okay where's disk 13?

Oh, there it is...

Okay open the door and remove disk 7...

Insert disk 13 and close door...

Wait ,wait and wait some more for that awesome floppy seek time...

Walk across the screen and repeat... :har:

Ordered some Lysol No-Touch Hand Soap refills, $25.95.

I recently (like last week) bought a new computer chair. The cheapo plastic lawn chair made me so sore I couldn't take it anymore. $106 smackaroons.

Just ordered: Corsair CMPSU-850HX 850-Watt HX Professional Series 80 Plus Certified Power Supply

Ordered 3 Coolermaster case fans and a Startech CPU power cable extender. :yeah:


Edit 8/18: And 3 fan filters, another fan, and a fan splitter cable.

Edit 8/19: another fan, another filter, another cable.

I see these, someone is building a nice rig.


Nice, that's the first time an itme has been ordered in the category: Beauty :)

Edit 8/25: and today I ordered a coupler to hook a couple HDMI cables together.

Oh and a new tv for my bedroom. SOMEBODY STOP ME! :O:




Edit 8/27: and some RCA audio cable, some RCA couplers, a Toslink cable, and a digital to analog converter.

Just get your wages paid into Neal's account, and ask him for something new every now and again - "Please, Neal, could I have a HDMI splitter?", "Hey, Neal, new TV please!"... :D

:hmmm:
