Nope. Never happen. As I said first sign of a virus, trojan, whatev's I wipe the HD clean and do a fresh installation. If they didn't save their data files to the network then too bad. I learned a long time ago it isn't worth my time to try to fix that kind of crap.

Re: Post Race!
Speaking of horrible photoshops... Chased Nickel Plate #765 and its train across a good bit of cow & corn country today. Bad lighting was the rule so pretty much every shot I took needed at least some Photoshop work to be useable.

Nope. LISP was the language they chose for macros and later more in depth customer custom programming.
Long before VBA was an option. Around 1982 I think it twere.
Back then a few of the lucky users had two video cards and two monitors so you could view graphics on one screen and text (A list of commands that were being used to create wireframe geometry that included your custom LISP macros) on the other. Monochrome for both.
Note there were no graphical screen menus (Left)
Attachment 128639
If you had only one graphics card and monitor it was a major production to switch from Graphics to Text and back.
Typically you left it in graphics mode only and did without the text.

Re: Post Race!
What are the two boxes to the right of the monitors? Does that lucky dog have an actual hard drive???? I knew one guy in college who had one. It was a 10MB HD, and was in a box almost the same size and shape as his PC-XT with dual 5 1/4" floppy drives. That was some serious hardware. You'd think he'd have sprung for the amber monitor, but I guess he blew all his cash on that HD.

Re: Post Race!
I would assume one was the hard drive.
When I trained on AutoCad 2.0 we had a room with about 6 PC's all dual 5-1/4 floppy driven.
The instructor had a hard drive where he could copy all our output for grading. 5 Meg I think.
I am sure he flushed it often.
This was about two years after I earned my AA in drafting tech.
Things had come a long way in the in that time.
My only computer drafting class toward my degree consisted of manually typing in point to point drawing coordinates to a floppy text file and using pipes to dump it to a 8-1/2" x 11" pen plotter. No video , mouse, or graphics. Really idiotic.

Five megs would be pretty big, considering that those 5 1/4 inch disks only held 360K (twice that if you used a hole punch to turn it into a double sided disk, of course).

I'm glad that one has spread throughout the nation. We got to watch the fire from the office. Not the best one I have ever seen, but an entertaining cause. I don't agree with that method of destroying TP. After all, you're supposed to leave no trace. That guy left a trace visible from miles away.

Re: Post Race!
To put it lightly, this is a subject of considerable discussion and amusement out here. I was splitting wood with a group yesterday, which included some fire fighters, who could estimate the likely cost of fighting that fire. If that guy gets the bill for putting out the fire, they came up with an estimate of around $75,000. That would be one EXPENSIVE crap.
