I thought you said 1993? this would be Apple System 7, for the Apple IIc and IIcx, IIRC, which puts them in the mid-eighties.

Post by: Aegis on March 29, 2009, 11:35:45 PM: In no order:

Cell phone.

Digital diabetic testing meter.

Flat panel television.

I'd travel back to the 80's -- there's not that large a difference in the technologies in the last decade.

Dam I hate that Caps Lock !

BC_Programmer said 'If memory serves' as in, 'if I remember correctly'. He didn't say anything about memory servers, which doesn't make sense at all.

And btw, you could have edited your post and typed properly.

The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.

I forget who said that.

Post by: Aegis on April 05, 2009, 09:39:49 PM: Not only sound, but they were one of the main components of computers, once upon a time.

Post by: Laska on April 06, 2009, 01:08:29 AM: And do you remember the Memory System , It was a 3 dimentional wirin' system that had liddle Donutts that stored a positive or negative charge and a RAM with 248 Bytes only took up 4 stories of a modern Dept Store Bldg

Post by: computeruler on April 06, 2009, 08:42:05 AM: Ohhh those things... My guitar amp has some of those... Porbably that old reciver from '83 does too
Title: Re: Going back in time.
Post by: Aegis on April 06, 2009, 12:42:45 PM: Ah, a tube amplifier -- good for you!

The receiver from '83 -- that's a toss up -- I'd bet it has integrated circuit boards. Not trying to give you a hard time...it was pretty amazing how quickly vacuum tubes left the mainstream electronics.
Title: Re: Going back in time.
Post by: computeruler on April 07, 2009, 06:07:47 PM: Hmm.. I dont know. Apparently tube amps sound better too. Its a vox 50w
Title: Re: Going back in time.
Post by: BC_Programmer on April 07, 2009, 06:38:00 PM: lol, creative should make an X-Fi card and replace all the transistors with vacuum tubes.

Sure, it'll be a box three times the size of the PC, but the sound should be great. LOL... reproduce the entire X-Fi chip with vacuum tubes...

Post by: BC_Programmer on April 07, 2009, 11:55:29 PM: probably expensive too... but definitely a conversation piece.
Title: Re: Going back in time.
Post by: cdubois4 on April 08, 2009, 01:09:05 AM: and a pain in the rear to fix when broken, thats why as soon as they found new technology they improved. Sorry guys/girls sounds like I'mm a little older than some on here...I was born 1971. STOP laughing! :rofl: :rofl:
