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.Quote:

AutoCad was written in LISP? I always assumed C++. I know 3DSMax is written in C++.Quote:

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.

Sandusky Bay. If you look closely you can see the rides of Cedar Point amusement park off in the distance. Shot from the old bay bridge causeway.
I know of a few people that chase trains, I never quite understood it.
I guess somebody had to do it.Quote:

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)

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.

You'd think he'd have sprung for the amber monitor, but I guess he blew all his cash on that HD.
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).
Y'all are old :D
No, your mammas old!Quote:
