Photos Latest Purchases Thread: v2.0

They sold - got haggled down a little, but still made £58 profit from it, so won't complain!

The Rev's will more than do me fine, and being DPA, I can lower the travel and firm up the compression damping for commuting duties.

 

If you start bottoming out on he Revs you can whack a bottomless token in, did that on mine as I have a habit of dropping the front end, sorted it out nicely

 

Explain to us why you want a desktop publishing suite from 1991, then we'll be able to judge you properly.

 

Probably something really kinky involving Raspberry Pi's or BBC Micros... and a gimp mask.

 

Nice!

My money is on nostalgia. I recall as a child the top shelf above the computer desk stacked with such boxes... Encarta, Word, Windows 3.x and Sierra adventure games.
Sadly they all perished in one of my parents' house moves, though they still use the 5.25" floppy disk box to store bits and bobs.

 

I just wish they would re-release Pandoras Box so my damn mother would stop asking me to find her a decent cracked copy of it,

 

Is it because it's the latest publishing package that will run on windows 3.0?

Of course that opens up even more questions, but we're making progress at least.

 

a few places still use dos/win 3.1 for certain things. a few companies ive dealt with use early 90s based pcs/amiga for receipts/lable printing and database of customerssimply coz they havent failed em them yet and in some cases are not networked so are considered secure.

cant really say the same for hardware built these days. 5 years max heavy use and they die ior get b0rked

 

But why?!

 

Pwoah.. Latin revs my engine.

 

You managed to hook up a floppy drive to get that loaded up?

Edit: were all versions able to run in MS-DOS without windows?

I remember when Windows arrived and it felt like you were getting your hands tied. Where's my black screen?!? I can't do anything with this 'desktop' rubbish!

 

How is it only now I've learned that =lorem() inserts a block of lorem ipsum in modern Word?

 

Sounds like something for the TIL thread.

 

I bought a lawntraktor
'twas a bargain

 

I think you might be right!

Also, un-purchased. By the time I added in the cost of new plates and all of the admin fees from updating insurance and re-issuing parking permits and the like, it pushed the overall cost over a mental barrier from "tee hee, what a frivolous bit of silliness" to "hmm, what a waste of money".
