I managed to get to Elite after about 3 weeks solidly playing it :D
Does your BBC still work? All of mine died mysteriously over the years and where chucked out by my dad. Sad really . . . BTW Was yours a 'Model B' or was 16KB enough? ;0) I always aspired to a Unicorn - a UNIX BBC computer!!!
I can see now this thread is going to degenerating into someone saying the only used lower case Ls and O characters to program their first machine . . but when I was a kid I learned to program on an IBM 1130 with 4KB of memory - Since a punch card took a LONG time to punch out with the "cigar cutter" type punch 4KB was way more than I though anyone would need . . .

Does anyone here remember using AMPLE? For those who don't, it's a great bit of kit - synthesiser, keyboard, sequencer. All on a BBC :)
It was SO exciting to sit in the Lab in the small hours with the ONLY microcomputer on the site and see a "virtual world" with real-time 3D graphics on the screen. WOW! Unfortunately its sad but I only managed Elite status by discovering the you could edit the amount of machine tools (or whatever) in you hold from 00 to FF with a hex editor and make your fortune . . .

This thread still isn't about what I thought it was about.... oh well.
What do you mean (hehehe), we are all talking about hard drives ( ;) ) and some peoples are bigger than others...
DAMN they ran out of hard drives at the store... :rolleyes:
:D ;) :rolleyes:
yeah, but this is just about normal(at least for me) after you pass 56K, cause I have Cable and well, in some places it's so fast, I need about 5 seconds to d/l 1MB! Actually the highest I've gone to was 400K/sQuote:
He's a lucky little git and has DSL - usually around 150K/s
Now a T3 would be really nice!

Didn't think woman thought about that when they were doing other stuff. How many times is that Katie? 3 times this week so far? :rolleyes:
I can't count the amount of times I've had the thought this week :D
I mean, if a woman walks by and asks for it, the guy will drop what ever he's doing and go along with it. If a female is doing something and a guy comes around, the female's response is, "I'm busy" :rolleyes:
It's cool though Katie, I'm glad there are few advanced females in the world :cool:.
and you deny you have a crush on Katie....
:rolleyes:
I don't Dennis. I don't even know her. You know her more than I do. She has probably explained herself in many other threads. But I usually don't read many threads in Chit Chat. Most of them are boring to me (sorry, lol). I just think it's funny that it's on her mind. She was the only 1 thinkin' of that when she saw this thread, I think :rolleyes:. And a female too! Now...most women don't normally think of that no more than 3 times a week. Katie, on the other hand, has thought about it more, which is cool...for a female ;).
Leave Matthew alone, Dennis. He's a nice kid and I enjoy talking to him just like I enjoy chatting with you...don't make him feel self-concious.
:p
We won't... :)
I was just kidding Katie.. notice the cute little rolleyes face afterwards... :rolleyes:
Missed 'em..sorry.
:rolleyes:
Oh wait, Dennis. I woke up this morning and decided I love Katie :rolleyes:.
Come `arn Katie, ruin your 20 years of marriage and date me :o.
By the way Katie, what do you look like? lol..hehe.
And when Dennis says that I have a crush on Katie, it looks like he's jealous :D.
Am I proving my point to you yet Dennis? Do you understand what I'm trying to send? Is the connection gettin' thru? :rolleyes:
Ummm no.... I got hit in the head with a basketball in gym today... so give me a few more minutes to think about this... :rolleyes:

You to Dennis? Well, it wasn't a basketball, it was much harder and happened in September or October. I got hit in the head with a softball, knocked me down, and I wasn't able to focus correctly for about 3 days. Those misjudgement catches, one wrong move could hurt so much :rolleyes:.
Sounds more like you caught Dennis off guard...(finish him off while hes down! ;) ) hehehehe :D
once at a baseball game(quite a while ago, this is one of the reaons I don't play that game anymore, BTW), I was batting....
and the pitcher thought he was a pro... he spit, made all these damn retarded moves with his legs... and he threw the ball and hit me right in the ****ing ear.....
I would've been deafened in that ear if I hadn't been wearing a helmet....
