Code Jockey posted:tell me how it was before computers, grandpa~ I used my first computer back in 8th grade. My dad and I built it from a kit. We had to enter the programs in by hand for the first few months, because we didn't have any storage. Then we got a tape drive. In 9th grade, I got to use a teletype unit with a suitcase-sized modem to connect to the MIT mainframe, and then I got onto something called the ARPANET. I could download and print ASCII pictures of nekkid ladies. Before that, we had to carve nekkid ladies out of stone. The Venus of Willendorf was a particularly popular model.

he took his wife's photo to the fast food place every day to show her that, being dead, she is the lucky one.

Police Automaton posted:Is it true that the first message on ARPANET was "I am a homosexual" No, but it was close. Due to the huge rivalry between MIT and Cal Tech, there were thousands of messages from one to the other accusing the students of each of having homosexual tendencies, and acting upon the urges, at least in experimental and exploratory manners.

I'm sure they were all just bachelors, enjoying the single life

I remember reading an article that some old dude had saved his dead wifes voice mail on his phone for years. Then Verizion did some software update on their end and it erased this dude's only recording of his wifes voice. So Verizion got a team of like 20 hackers to get it back
