gulaz 1 #26 December 12, 2003 Come on, Apple IIe... bought it last week. Picked it over a dell. Some guy talked me into getting it. Said they are the "next new thing". Pretty soon, all computers will come standard with green screens (better for productivity - no boobies), great big floppy drives (harder to lose disks) and no harddrive, or internet, or cdrom, or anything else really. Its all just unnecessary extras (like rear-view mirror dice for cars - or the mirrors themselves for that matter) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

indyz 1 #29 December 12, 2003 A few months ago I ruined my old case in a bizarre accident involving an air compressor. I never liked the thing anyway, it was way to big. So I went shopping and found the attached case for $60 at a local discount shop. There's nothing I hate more than a lazy modder. I mean, people who put lots of effort into an original mod are cool. I just think that plexi and cold cathodes have been done to death. Which is why I'm sort of ashamed to own this case (even though it does look way cool in the dark).

Kris 0 #42 December 13, 2003 QuoteKris, Is that pc running Raid? Nice setup if so Danke.I also have another 120GB HDD in an external firewire/USB2.0 enclosure so I can sneaker-net between my laptop and other friends PC's. With everything hooked up, I had 1.02TB online. I yanked the 60's, and the 120GB external is at the office, so now I have 780GB on my PC at this moment.Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kallend 2,093 #43 December 13, 2003 Just thought this is a good place to mention some history. Who made the first computer? It's not all that clear cut. Babbage designed and built a programmable computer (mechanical) in the 19th century. He never got it to work, but a replica has been made to work. Konrad Zuse built a programmable digital computer in 1941 (The Z3). The logic units were relays, so it was very slow but it worked. The Germans were not that interested, and it was eventually destroyed by Allied bombing. The British Post Office (yes) built the first programmable electronic computer (Colossus) in 1943. It was for de-encrypting German cyphers and installed at the codebreaking center at Bletchley Park (more famous for its work on the Enigma code). It was not a general purpose machine, being specifically designed for codebreaking. It was classified until the 1980s and missed out in most computer history books. The University of Pennsylvania built the first general purpose programmable electronic computer (ENIAC)in 1946, mostly for working out problems in ballistics. This is the best known "first" computer. The first computer to store programs in its memory (like all modern computers) rather than repeatedly reading instructions from an external device was the EDSAC, built at Cambridge University in 1951. And the first computer built specifically for business use was the LEO (1953), made by the Lyons company, better known for its coffee shops!...
