Yeah, the graphics sucked

No they didn't, at least not at that time.
Ah... those were the days indeed.

[Storm]

Same here... I also learned to type on a regular typewriter, and later used an IBM typewriter. Typing on the computer is easier, but I kinda miss the sound of punching the keys  

[Say]

omg atari rules! no matter what

I remember those old old oooold consoles :p, I still got the intelevision (or whatever the hell is that spelled) somewhere packed up in the dusty and forgotten places of my closet :p, and I remember a few years ago I installed it and it still worked! !!

[KatieHal]

Haha, Say, somehow you being able to type without looking and do so extremely fast doesn't surprise me! Something about the way you type gives me an image of it being typed/said really really fast!

I don't live in America

My dad had an Atari and i used to play it all the time but i dont see my dad anymore and i'm not sure which model of atari he had so i havent bought one

[Oldbushie]

Sometimes I type the way I think and it all comes out a little garbled as my thinking is a little backwards, inside out, and generally unconventional. But it works.

I don't live in America

To what is that a reply? 'Cause I can't see any relation to Atari (the current sub-topic).

[Jeysie]

Wow, I never had a typewriter at my job, I had a dumb terminal at first, but not a typewriter.

I dunno, I would find the dumb terminal less antiquated. They also have dot-matrix printers. At least they don't have daisy-wheel printers, I guess... then I'd *really* be scared.

Peace & Luv, Liz

[Jeysie]

Daisy-wheel came first. I have (or rather, my dad did, if you want to get technical) owned both daisy-wheel and dot-matrix printers. Never owned a bubble-jet, but I do currently own an inkjet. Too bad b&w lasers cost a dominant upper torso appendage, and color lasers cost two appendages and a gonad.

Peace & Luv, Liz

[Oldbushie]

I remember the old printers that had holes for the sidelines that you tore off...

[Yonkey]

Oh yeah!   We used to have dot matrix printers back in the good old days!  They even used that "tear-off" side thing too!  

From dot matrix, we went to ink jet, then to bubble jet and then ink jet again (i think?).  I love colour laser printers but they cost way too much.  I don't do that much colour printing anyway though.  

[racx_00]

You said that i don't have problems with my ISP cos i dont live in America, and i talked about Atari after that anyway

[Say]

hey, since when does it matters what is a reply to what anyways

we are all random at times ...,



....wtf I want cookies , my fav are with chocolate chips!

[copycat]

The holes on the side were used in 'listing-paper', a bit wider than A4, and/or a bit longer (with the sides torn off), but all in one long paper line, each paper tearable from the other though. So, you could print a text banner onto several pages of that listing-paper and tear it off at the end, while all the other papers stayed together.
I don't do much printing, period.

copycat, I want you to teach me bad bad words and insults in french , woo (yes Im bored)

hahaha

[Jeysie]

copycat, I want you to teach me bad bad words and insults in french , woo (yes Im bored)

(laughs) My roomie knows a fair bit of French. He says one of the things he likes about the language is that you can say the most boring and/or stupid and/or insulting things in it, but it'll still sound all romantic and elegant.

Me, all I know is Spanish, and I can't even speak it or write it anymore, I can only read a little of it. Bah. Too bad, Spanish is also a pretty language.

Peace & Luv, Liz

[Say]

hahaha yeah you are so right, anything said in french sounds so freaking beautiful hahaha

as I believe anything said in german no matter how sweet and cheezy may be... hahah doesnt sounds so good , its a bit rough, totally opposite than french IMHO anyways, thats how it sounds to me

copycat! where are you! hahaha, teach meeee

[Say]

and about spanish... the only spanish that rules is... venezuelan! woo!

I believe EVERYONE... geez, every single latin (careful, Im saying latin Im not including spanish ppl ;p) as I was saying ;p every single latin country has an accent, I've met ppl from all over... and yes, everyone has an accent!, we do have slang, but if we do have an accent I so cant see it myself , infact.. wtf the spanish we speak is the prettiest ever heard Ricky Martin's spanish?? he may be puerto rican.. but he lived his entire life here in Venezuela, well that's just a silly compare but yeah listen ricky martin talk spanish , wtf Im insane .

I'll shut up now hahaha, I need to go to sleep some

[racx_00]
