Quote from: Sabrina The Turd Polisher on January 08, 2013, 09:55:55 AMwow, this thread is a trip down memory lane.

My First Job® had networking...which was all fancy back in 1990. I remember they looked like phone jacks. What was that? I remember the term "phone net".
Anyways, they had a 9600 baud modem which was blazing fast for the time. They even had a customer whose files went straight to the imagesetter (linotronic).
It was while working there I read about this amazing new storage device that could hold the data hundreds of floppies: A CD storage device.   :old:
So futuristic!

And I thought I was in the future when I got a 40mHZ processor upgrade to my Quadra 950 with - hold on to your hats - 256MB of RAM.

"There's been a lot of research recently on how hard it is to dislodge an impression once it's been implanted in someone's mind. (This is why political attack ads don't have to be true to be effective. The other side can point out their inaccuracies, but the voter's mind privileges the memory of the original accusation, which was juicier than any counterargument ever could be.)"

Dug up a Screen-licenced Harlequin RIP manual; like the huge ring binder thingy. Landfill, I guess. Leafing through it makes you realise how far we've come in crunching jobs.

I found a pirate copy of harlequin rip 6 in my old disks. Why I needed that I can't recall... might have been using it for creating isvs or whatever we called CIP3 ink settings.

ATM..."can get off net"

Really, in 1998/99? I thought the internet was pretty much just AOL back then.

I still have my pocket pal.  :embarrassed:
My lips are moving and the sound's coming out
The words are audible but I have my doubts

We're talking Hard Drive at 256MB correct?
If I had more than 24mb of Ram with my 6100 I would have been stoked! And that had a 256 mb HD

The graphics in the manuals are quite stunning. Very choice.

I chuckled at that one. I guess my company was really cheap back in the 80s.  :laugh:
