I swear I've seen "innovation" teams trumpeting their amazing chatbot that's going to be so "transformational" and all it requires is you to find it in our godawful electron based chat platform and then decode what is basically pseudo SQL syntax to ask a question and get the answer "idk maybe"

I initially created the mushrooms using Inspire3D (an introductory version of Lightwave) and did a render using Bryce. When I purchased Lightwave 6 I did a second render using only Lightwave and this is the result. It was really just meant to be an exercise in using gradients to control luminosity and transparency ending up becoming an icon. Funny world!

the click of death was something different from the damaged disk thing, and both were rare yet everybody claims it happened to them a bigger fault with zip was that it was slow as poo poo and didn't really like reading disks in anything other than the drive they were written with

I can remember ever so ssssssslllllooooooowwwwwwllllyyyyyyy copying MP3's to a zip disk over parallel I liked zip disks and for me they were pretty reliable. I really liked them when I got the IDE model drive, and I had big hopes for the 250MB and 1GB varieties, but alas.......

in high school i put napster on a zip disk and used my school's t1 line to download some music. I would show to class early and real quick use the computer in the back and turn off the monitor. Just pop the disk when done and bam, like 5 songs right there.

I remember a substitute teacher in our computer class (6th grade?) got excited when she discovered the school had a T1 line and then showed us how to download songs from Napster to try and be cool with us. We already knew Napster and we’re groaning when she searched for Pearl Jam. But then we saw T1 in action. The thing that blew our minds was she was downloading a whole album at once and it was almost half done by the end of class. Man, downloading times are something that is hard to explain.
