1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Shouldn't have used the silver header paint, lol it looks like it's aluminum now.

 

Yes and Yes

 

As a teenager, I loved seeing the technological advances from tape to CD, to "burning" our own CDs and more. Mini disc is something I always wanted but couldn't afford, so I stuck with CDs until I could buy an mp3 player when that came out.

The advancements in miniaturized ICs and whatnot with gaming consoles getting better and better, along with computers.

What I wish I could've seen were the advancements in PCs from the 70s to the 80s.

Do you remember your first computer?

 

You're young, where do you see yourself in at least 10 years?

 

Speaking of technology, 24 years ago people were losing their minds thinking everything would cease working entering the new millenia.

 

Maybe, but a lot of the highest earners in this area don't have degrees - small business owners, salespeople, etc. My degree lends itself more to conservation and government work, etc. I don't have one of those fancy data/comp sci degrees that'll land you some plum gig making six figures to hang out on Teams all day and write code or whatever.

 

Yes. It was an Epson Equity 1+ 8086 - DOS machine. I upgraded it to a 4K Plus Hard Card. I got it work at home on weekends with ancient software like WordPerfect and Lotus 123. Its pictured in the window.
There were always office computers that were better.



My real 1st Computer work experience was on an IBM mainframe.

 

I'd like to be an expert in something.

 

I think it needs a a detail and interior steam clean more than anything tbh.

 

Will there be reliable vehicles?

 

Btw would it be safe to clean the engine bay with one of those self serve pressure washers (on the lowest pressure), with sop first then rinse?

 

That's badass!

 

It's typically how I do it if I don't use the pressure washer at home

 

Probably, you'd think by then they could engineer cars that essentially last forever.

 

I went off to college with a Smith Corona typewriter and graduated with an Epson laptop that I bought with a credit card that I had no business having in my possession.
Hadn't even touched a computer prior to college.
Things were moving so fast that I had a car phone two years later.

 

You don't cover up anything with plastic before ?

 

At one of my first real programming jobs, they software company liked to hire people with graduate degrees and train them to program using their style of coding.

The type of person that they really liked to hire was a disgruntled music major that gave up on finding a job teach music at a school.

Since they could read music, there were accustomed to reading symbolic notation and were easily trained to write code. We had some good music at parties though.

 

I mean, you've far outdone all of us here in one subject already

 

Car issues?

 

No one's a bigger skeptic than you my friend
