kerbiloid Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Back in my days a computer could have a joystick and a kempston joystick. Kempston joystick - it's like a joystick, but kempston. Also a key on the keyboard had up to 7 functions with their own signs. Like this. Spoiler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Baron Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 (edited) Reminds me of Mah Jongg :-) But that's a Russian speciality ? I have never seen such a keyboard before ... 12 minutes ago, kerbiloid said: Also a key on the keyboard had up to 7 functions with their own signs. Like this.

One additional function per key more. 5 minutes ago, Green Baron said: Oh, and back in my day i had to make dates with my friends when leaving school if we wanted to play together in the afternoon. That was back in my more previous days. But the life begins when a computer appears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Baron Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 (edited) Western European speciality, flexible phone numbers. Shorter in rural, longer in denser populated areas. Our first phone number had three digits after the area code. I think it was 261 ... Edit: don't mind, those short numbers don't exist any more. Nowhere :-) Edited November 17, 2017 by Green Baron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Jim Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 (edited) OK, seriously this time. I'm now 55... Back in my day: Vietnam was still raging. New cars cost a couple thousand... tops. Star Trek (the original series) had just premiered.... and TV had only 4 channels Telephones had long, curly cords. The only one in the entire city with a computer was the nearby IBM factory... and good luck getting anywhere near it. And most important... we just landed on the moon!

Red Shirt Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Seriously, when the company I worked for moved from drafting tables with parallel bars to CAD, we were the pioneers in our industry. IBM set us up with 3 AIX stations (UNIX) networked together. They shared a common 70Mb hard drive. (yes you read that correctly - 70 megabytes). We were told that was all we would ever need. We believed them. We quickly learned each of us had a 20 Mb drive on our private station. The stations came with multiple volume manuals that ran the length of a 6ft table top. I'm the only one that ever read them, so guess who got to troubleshoot the system? Crazy as it sounds, our setup gave us about a few year lead on the competition.
