I have to use Citrix to access software that only works in Windows 2000. Some aspects of my job suck.

Well I learned something. I remember connecting the cable inside the case (to the audio card), but I sure as poo poo never used the headphone jack.

Those dongles that were supposed to go between the jack and your landline handset if you had DSL

For some reason Nero has been emailing me the past few weeks. Apparently they’re still going.

Speaking of school computers, Ontario had these really lovely Unisys ICON computers they’d dumped a bunch of money into. Wikipedia tells me they ran proto-QNX and they were around from like 1982 or something but I’m pretty sure I didn’t see them in my school until probably 1990.

All I remember was they had some weird game where you built a robot, though Wikipedia also tells me that much like everything ever produced in Canada they had some weird “heritage” stuff about fur trading and apparently driving around Canada in a pickup truck :confused:

bad computer

Sorry to drag this back up but drat. You could whip the poo poo out of the integrated trackball, and there was a game called upstairs downstairs where you had to manoeuvre around walls to get to a prize. Late 80s kindergarten in SWO..

i went through a lot of trouble to make the ringtone sounding part of Air War by Crystal Castles my ringtone. Not worth the 5 pieces of poo poo software I had to use to make it work.

Anyone else work with FAME? Could do some neat, very fast stuff with it. I got considered an expert because I was willing to open the 3 ring binders. Apparently still used by utilities

Was just reminded by the wiki thread of Pick. First co-op was at a company whose whole stack lived on a pick db. Lots of fun writing JavaBeans (remember those?) middleware to process payments for [redacted] memberships.

I spent an unconscionable amount of money on an Alpine head unit for me and my brothers Cavalier around 2003 because it had a dedicated Aux in. Hooked up my minidisc player and felt like king poo poo.
