Hey, how are pop's lumpy goldfish doing?

Back in the day.

I used to hate nouns being used as verbs. But I'm open for change. I'm computering right now.

Yeah, I was doing leg press 3 days a week with my Cat 2 friend. Then he developed a baker's cyst, and we quit. Now he is selling me his leg press for cheap. I shall then get back to that. As for my problem with running. I used to race motocross, and it caused some hip, and knee problems if I run for any amount of time. I never experience it any other time though. That being said, I am in allot better shape now. I wonder if it would still happen these days, but not enough to risk the pain, and potentially take me off the bike for a few days. I also still ride a 20" on occasion, and jump flights of stairs, and such on it, not to mention snowboarding. I do plan to build another DH bike one day also, I still have an 8" travel fork, some DH bars, and a 20mm front wheel.

Yeah I rode my friend's cheap Nashbar set, and I liked it. I am certain it will not replace my KK, but I think it would be cool to have to mix it up on. Maybe do the rollers a couple days a week.

Incorrect. You weren't even born.

Notable events in my computing lifetime:

• My first "computing" job was as a 10-key operator (during the day) and computer operator (during the evening)
• My first computer course (BASIC) was taught using keypunch machines (with no display) much like someone else pointed out. My college didn't even have a computer. We time-shared on the state university's machine. Luckily by the time I took FORTRAN we had CRTs.
• My first "remote support device" was a Texas Instruments "Silent 700" that used an acoustic coupler to connect at a blazing 300 baud
• My first laptop (for work) was an IBM PC Convertible with 2 3.5" floppy drives. If you want to see a beast of a laptop, research this one
• My first home computer was only black/white with no hard drive.
• And I remember BBS's
  

Yeah, I'm over 50...52 to be specific.

I also remember rotary phones, tube electronics, etc...however a lot of that may be due to my age as well as my rural South Carolina upbringing. We even shared a telephone line with about 5 neighbors (a party line, in it's original meaning).

Hell I remember green and black screen computers - I'm 22.

this place has become a rest home.

Ehh...what'd you say...speak up sonny, I can't hear ya

i think it's time for a nap.

We've been Romper Room and the 7th grade lunch table. Now were a rest home. I think we skipped a few steps.

Maybe I just don't remember them...

Until we see pics, I am going to assume this girl is as real as 10,000+ miles in 2010.

I'm so old I remember when student mischief was having a ruler fight when the teacher was out of the room. Now we have this.

I also remember when you could dial a number (on the rotary phone) for a machine which told you what the time and temperature is.

I don't know how many rest days I can afford this month; I have an unknown mileage goal: Herbie53 +1.

I feel sore just from reading that "big snip" thread.

that is a thread I can get behind.

get off my lawn!!!!

Who claimed that?

We should have a February mileage contest. I think I have Razor beat, unless he rides 400 miles the last week.

Thanks to getting sick I have less than 10 hours in this month.

Harsh.

Even more noteworthy, you may have me beat, Velo Vol. The weather is better, and the commuting has started up again, but I'm not sure I can catch you.

Uh oh, I forgot about LAJ. I may need the perfect storm of another couple blizzards sweeping everywhere west and north of here to pull this off.

that's gotta burn.

Nice... I remember some of those things, but not most. My first computer language was with a BASIC cartridge on an Atari XL hooked up to a TV.
