Commode Odor?               Yea, a Commode C64.        I got my Commodore in 1986 and around 1988/89 my first modem, a 300       baud, after I found out about local boards and later the wider world of Fido.        I used the Commie until c. 1995 when I bought a used IBM 286.        Around 1998 I got a used 486, with Window 95. The case had been damaged       but the innards were fine.        Around 2000 I got a used 486 with Win98.        The older 486 had given up the ghost and the pc shop I used had the Win98       on sale.        I've only brought two new PC's, a HP in January of '09 and this one last       February, also a HP. IIRC the 486 was a HP.        To me HP's are the best. But then that's a Ford/Chevy thing.              > My main jokes & puns collection is on my IBM(true blue) DOS 486, that I need       help connecting back up (c/w a new 21" CRT for SVGA graphics)               Maybe you can find someone with one to transfer all that over.        I recall wondering how in the world a little 3.5 could hold as much       information as a 5.25 then later how in the world could a thumb hold more than       a       3.5? If this keeps up it will someday be how much information can be held       on a grain of sand. :)        Joe        --- Platinum Xpress/Win/WINServer v3.0pr5        * Origin: Fidonet Since 1991 www.doccyber.org bbs.docsplace.org (1:135/392)       SEEN-BY: 1/120 123 14/0 15/0 18/0 90/1 105/81 116/116 120/340 123/0       SEEN-BY: 123/25 40 115 126 131 160 180 190 200 755 129/305 135/300       SEEN-BY: 135/366 371 379 382 383 384 385 388 390 391 392 138/146 153/250       SEEN-BY: 153/757 7715 154/10 222/2 226/30 227/114 229/424 426 428       SEEN-BY: 229/452 664 700 240/1120 5832 249/206 307 317 400 250/1 261/1466       SEEN-BY: 266/512 275/100 282/1038 292/854 299/6 300/4 301/1 317/3       SEEN-BY: 320/219 322/757 342/11 200 396/45 633/280 640/1321 712/848       SEEN-BY: 3634/0 12 15 24 27 50       PATH: 135/392 300 3634/12 153/7715 229/426           |
