Does Dish prorate when you cancel

Long live the Epson MX-80!

How many US printer manufacturers did it put under?

I still have it!

Ahh, the Internet nostalgia going on in here.

Kids today will never know the anticipation of waiting a half hour for a single picture the size of a postage stamp to load.

You had a WebTV too!


In fact, that's how I became a satellite customer. First had a WebTV, then a WebTV Plus (2 gig hard drive) and then the wonderful (but frustrating ) joint venture from Dish and Microsoft...the DISHPlayer 7100!

S-Video picture on one side, Internet on the other. And no annoying phone calls since I tied up my lines for hours. And no, kids, cell phones are too expensive...just wait until this last page loads.

Ah, the good ole days. I was so excited when I went from a 50 baud to a 300 baud modem.

Lol. Same here.

Remember when AOL was apple link?

Anyone have a spare parallel printer cable I can use with my TRS-80?

Yes, actually. A LONG Centronics, run behind filing cabinet I don't want to move.

I had to write my own device drivers in 8080 Assembler to support my keyboard, MX-80, and Matrox S-100 video card. Those were the days! My Shugart floppy drive held a whopping 90 Kbytes and my Northstar Horizon had a whole 48 Kbytes of RAM on three 16K static RAM cards. It's still in my basement, but surfing the web on that machine means chasing the spiders out of the power supply first.

Wait, what was the OP's question?

Damned modern 8080. The 8008 was bad enough. Real men found the 4004 more than adequate!



RCA 1802 FOREVER!

Anyone else here remember coding keyboard debounce routines?

Anyone else here remember coding keyboard debounce routines?

I was always a hardware solution kinda designer. I think I remember how to add debouncing, I know I did that on my home-brew breadboard power supply and logic board. If the hardware engineer does their job right, the software engineers can then concentrate on coding applications and not fixing the HW mistakes...
