The funny thing is, half the guys on here have no clue what we're talking about.

 

I remember when we got really excited that the processors broke 100MHz.

 

 

I also distinctly remember having a conversation with my old boss in which the words 

 

"16MB of RAM!!!  We'll never need more than that..."  were spoken.

 

I was tough shit when I upgraded my 14.4 to 28.8

 

Then motorola came out with their x2 technology and its was 56k

 

Blazing AOL!

Any of you guys play DOOM on a BBS against other players for the first time!?!?! 0.o     At that moment I became a nerd.

 

I used to buy magazines at the grocery that had code in it for games.

 

 

I would spend all day typing it into the commodore 64

 

it would take hours

 

then I would play the game, usually something like popping balloons.

 

 

good times.

Best poo that ever happened to PC gaming was when ID put out that Demo disk and mysteriously that crack to unlock all of the full versions of their games including Quake 1.....  That made that game soo... freaking popular. As well as pirating.. I swear it was a revolution to PC gaming. That and OpenGL and that Verte technology or whatever the f it was called.

Holy poo I did the same thing... those commodore's were awesome.

 

Did you have the 5 1/4" disk drive that looked like a toaster?  I also had the tape drive for a while... talk about old school.

 

I could record songs on the radio AND save programs to the same cassette = badass.

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the Radio Shack TRS ("Trash")-80. The latest and greatest....

 

Zod, let me know if you want to do a Kickstarter campaign to help fund this bad boy....

We had this very computer in my 6th grade classroom.  If I'm adding that up right that would be circa 1983.  Don't think we had the fancy monitor though... probably just used old B&W TVs

      Adam Schefter: Panthers getting trade calls for Andy Dalton

      By strato · Posted

      To kick this up, The Athletic has a really comprehensive piece out where pretty much all QB questions are addressed. It is worth seeing.  https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7083539/2026/03/04/starting-quarterback-projections-free-agency-draft/?source=user_shared_article I’m putting something specific here but it should have a thread or something. It is an extensive exercise.  This is a dense write up with a lot of column inches used, about the Jets and Murray and Reich, all this stuff.. then it goes to backup QB and there is Dalton.  I am pasting that part: As for Dalton, Reich is installing the offense he was trying to run in Carolina in 2023 before he got fired, and Dalton was with the Panthers then; he’s an ideal option as a veteran backup to replace Taylor. Reich said this about Dalton in 2023: “The way he's throwing the football, the way he works through progressions, the way he handles the operation. … Since day one (when) he walked in the door, I'm like, 'This guy is starter-worthy.' You guys know I've said that all along. He's, in my opinion, one of the best 32 quarterbacks in the world.” ——— That’s true love lol. I never heard any of this. Pretty crazy I think, considering how the year went.   Anyway the dream is not dead. .

      I’VE FOUND OUR WR3 (Rashid Shaheed)

      By Car123 · Posted

      The Seahawks traded for wide receiver/returner Rashid Shaheed at the trade deadline. He proved to be a key acquisition. Shaheed returned a punt and a kickoff for touchdowns in the regular season and had a 95-yard kickoff return in the postseason. Shaheed, though, is scheduled for free agency. So, the 12 games he played, including the postseason, might be the extent of his time in Seattle. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Shaheed and the Seahawks are not close to an extension, and the expectation is that the two-time Pro Bowler will hit free agency. Shaheed has 153 receptions for 2,243 yards and 12 touchdowns in his four-year career to go along with three punt return touchdowns and a kickoff return touchdown. He ranks 13th on PFT’s top-100 free agents. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/report-rashid-shaheed-appears-headed-to-free-agency
