[13:49:24] <TheMightyBuzzard> huh... that'd been working since feb 03 of last year. why'd it pick this year to break?
[13:50:58] <TheMightyBuzzard> exactly a year later even
[13:54:03] <chromas> Try changing it to Douché
[14:01:36] <TheMightyBuzzard> i think i managed to update a library i shouldn't have and it broke shit

[15:01:46] <Bytram> just concerned that I get there and it gets postponed/scrubbed... can't really justify the expense in the first place, never mind missing work and paying for a hotel for a night or three, plus car rental

[15:23:07] <Bytram> figures
[15:23:27] * Bytram used RSTS/E before he was exposed to CP/M -- felt right at home
[15:25:13] <TheMightyBuzzard> i should write my own OS. call it BJ/H.
[15:25:34] <chromas> IC/BM
[15:25:58] * Bytram worked at IBM, too
[15:26:18] <TheMightyBuzzard> before or after they invented the electric typewriter?
[15:26:25] <Bytram> aka "I've Been Moved" and "Idiots Become Managers"
[15:26:30] <Bytram> after
[15:26:37] <Bytram> yes, I've used a Selectric, too.
[15:26:46] * TheMightyBuzzard doesn't get to make old jokes that often anymore
[15:26:47] <Bytram> they had a problem, though
[15:27:00] <Bytram> when you made a typo, you'd
[15:27:14] <Bytram> hit the backspace key to move the print-head ball back one character position
[15:27:33] <Bytram> then there was a clear piece of film that had an abosrbant material on one side
[15:27:42] <Bytram> on the other side it said "This side up"
[15:28:04] <Bytram> slide that film in between the printhead and the paper and type the same letter again
[15:28:17] <Bytram> the film would absorb the unwanted ink and... tadah! Gone!
[15:28:20] <Bytram> Except,
[15:28:28] * Bytram can read in all 4 directions
[15:28:43] <Bytram> no matter which way I held the erasing film, I could read it just fine
[15:29:09] <Bytram> so half the time I had it backwards and when I hit the key again... nothing got erased
[15:29:26] * Bytram does NOT miss those days
[15:31:02] <Bytram> TheMightyBuzzard: fwiw, the lowest-priced laptop I could find on newegg with at least 500MB storage is listed for $278.00 -- has 4GB ram and a Intel Celeron N2840 (2.16 GHz)
[15:31:30] <Bytram> so, much better than $1000 for a 1 GHz proc, but nowhere near $125 for a used system I was looking at
