I'd rather you didn't die but I guess you wouldn't have much use for it.

We were lucky if had one of these:

my families first computer was a 1993 macintosh.

my parents left it in the basement until 2001, when they got tired of us kids constantly complaining that everyone else had a computer by that time. it had a 2gb hard drive, 32mb of memory, and the optional external cd-rom drive.

an abacus would have been an improvement over a mac at that time...

Our first home computer was an Apple IIe. It came with 64 KB RAM, but my dad bought the extended card that put it up to 128 KB RAM. It had no hard drive.

My first home computer was a Timex Sinclair 1000. Yep, back in the early 1980s, I paid $99 for that puppy, added a cassette tape recorder and a portable B&W TV and I had me a computing system -

I'm familiar with chip detectors but not specifically with the Chinook. That shit doesn't just fall off. I can't believe that this crew chief can't tell the difference between an engine and a gearbox.

Oops! Forgot about that. Didn't want to jack that other TuRD fanboi thread anymore.

Don't look at me... I rarely ban members. At least I try to give a heads up BEFORE banning em.
