cleaning out some old boxes

Someone make me an offer for my Windows 2.0 on 5.25" floppies.

Will that run on my 286?

Your disks are too big for my slot.

[t-pat]

Your disks are too big for my slot.

[gnubler]

Mine is for round things.

Why yes it will as a matter of fact. Just give me a shipping address and a credit card number and we will be good to go. But just remember...antiques are expensive. :tongue:

wow, 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.   
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.

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

No - I had $26,000 in RAM on my machine - do not remember the hard drive size but 256 or 500 sound right.
All of our 2ci's had 32mb of RAM and when we went to 8100's, all had 128.
We spent lots of money back then to be cutting edge.  Glad I left, now they don't even have a single person in my old department.

Heh. When I ran a comp department at a small newspaper, I banned t-squares. No time. If you can't eyeball it, go elsewhere.

I had the first Quadra 950 in town. It cost around $35k and had a Thunder 24 card, and a 1GB Drive.

I remember when reading the Preferred System for running Kai's Power Tools was to have that card and drive size. I remember thinking how amazing it would be to get something so huge!

At that same time I convinced my wife I should spend $380 on 8MB of RAM because the market was saturated for a short time and, "It's never gonna get any cheaper than that!"

I was wrong. :laugh:
