Natural history. as art I can view my sons work.


Best museum you ever been in?
 
With so many great ones, that is one tough call. I'm going to go with the Science and History Museum Taichung, Taiwan - they had an imagined re-creation of the Rainbow Bridge that you could walk under and examine that was so stunning in its combination of complexity and simplicity that it brought a tear to my eyes. All of the pieces interlocked and cantilevered such that it looked like it was flowing and endlessly falling in - to itself.

Longest use you've gotten out of any personal computer, in years?
 
Hmm well I gave it to my dad but over 10 years. Dont know exact years but it is running Win 98 2nd edition and came with win95. Never had problem one with it. Knock on wood. It was a compaq I think.

Worst computer you ever bought?
 
Most certainly - wrote my own code in CP/M assembly to control the comm - was to Western Union, to access their lines to send an international telex.

Ever whistle codes into the phone to get the other side to begin arbitration when not cooperating?
 
Never. Started out bang-routing (setting manual routing paths to get mail from point a to point b) on DARPA net, then graduated to internet mail.

BTW - your Atari 800 had at least a whole 8k of ram. :)

OK, something replaced that Atari 800 - Apple ][+, Commodore, CP/M - or did you hold out for the Amiga?
 
I stand corrected. No.. I skipped the commodore 64 and spent a fortune on a 286

have you ever put a pencil on the cost of staying abreast with technology all these years?
