That reminds me of the original web-cam on Netscape Navigator*. I think Ctrl-Alt-F or N got it going. I hope your viewing of the pay-tv channel was as relaxing as it used to be.


*Yes, I am old.

It's okay Jess, even I'm familiar with Netscape

4.0 running on O/S 2. Those were the days.

Now back to the excellent trip report...

Clazman, could you have spent longer on the Intrepid than 3 hours?

No... :shock:

And Eudora for e-mail?

I think Netscape Mail was my program of choice. Bit hazy about that, though.

I do recall setting up an account with IBM for their 'online' system. I think my email address that I got with the account was [email protected]. That would be a good one to have now.

No flying toasters?

I recall doing a motherboard upgrade way back then, just so Mrs 2905 could see "Bad Dog" run smoothly.

No flying toasters?

The toaster was an Amiga addon by NewTek that was used for several TV animations in the late 80's.

Video Toaster - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Great products and great company - generous at conferences in the early 90's.

Bah! A newby, ne'er-do-well.

Try a 1972 Data Genaral Nova bootstrap loader, which one had to program in octal to load the Basic OS from punched paper tape - technically used for crystallography but did a mean Star Trek simulation!

I never did much like crystallography... - and now I know why :mrgreen:.
