Found a used SCSI Ultra 320 hard drive around the corner at a repair shop for $19. Reformatted it, reloaded Windows 2000 Professional, and Rampage and back up and running first thing this a.m. Down about 9 hours total. Most of that time was trying to get drivers loaded one at a time from a floppy, because that's the only way you can do it in Windows 2000 Pro. Pro my ass.

$12-13k for us to go to Rampage 12 - probably not gonna happen soon.

You are on a 10+ yr old OS and you are bitching about floppys? That was the why to do it back then.

I missed Win ME once. Shot a little high and to the right. Fixed that on the next shot.

Win 3.11wg connecting to a Novell network. Oh what fun.

Came into a company once that was doing that. Got them to upgrade to Windows 95 and buy a Mac, only the Mac wasn't networked. We got our email through AOL dial-up.

That shop had a Docuprint K only digital press. I used to have to send the file to a RIP in .ps form, then walk into the next room and manually RIP it. Then send the released file into the Docuprint. The copy guy had a touch screen where he could edit files without having to be fixed and resent on my end. I thought that was the shit.

My body may be falling apart but I blame that on skateboarding.

I also am the grumpy guy on the front porch though. True story, I was looking to get pepper balls for my paintball gun. For some reason the GF had it in her head that I was going to use them to shoot the neighbors. They were for animal deterrent, not the 2 legged ones.
