[archalf1471]

I guess you lot dont get out as much as you should? Or indeed have to much contact with the opposite sex?

Says me who has an unhealthy obsession with long thin bits of timber!!!!

The Internet gives all the geeks the opportunity to have at least theoretical and virtual contact to the other sex...
It is like a business consultant: He knows the complete Kamasutra but do not has a girlfriend.

I'm certainly very involved with technology and have do/have done many things which people may find geeky (Eg, A few years back I went to the Linux Expo [Back when it was held in Birmingham]) but I don't think I will challenge Rob for the title

He seems very intent on "winning" it

It always works that way Up until about 6 months ago I was still using a 700 MHz rig that I built from bits and bobs friends were going to throw out... Still managed to do all of my Uni work on it including the usual office and programming etc

"Recently" I've "upgraded" again, to an equally poor box made up of old/unwanted components again...

As they say, it's not what you got, it's how you use it that matters

the trouble is when i buy these things i get the advice of serious professional geeks!

I can beat that! You whipper-snappers won't even have heard of these ...

- RCA Cosmac 1802 assembly (used in embedded systems)
- 6502 assembly (Apple II)
- Zilog Z80 assembly (Apple II and many other micro's as they were called then - the term PC hadn't been invented!)
- Motorola 6800 series and 6300 series assembly
- Intel 808x series assembly - IBM PC

I'd fried my brain after 15yrs of that so now, these days, I'm just a fat, old and ugly and very poor snooker player ...

Be warned!

I HAVE heard of that-still own running Apple //,IIgs-and C64-with the Apple's networked You should go to apple.com-old machines usergroup,there are still a lot of freaks

[ChatLag]

Somewhere in a dark corner in the attic I must have an
1984 Apple II Europlus with additional Z80 card, 64 kB main memory
and two 5 1/4" floppy disk drives with 143 kB capacity...
(OMG, such a lot of completely useless knowledge is still available in my mind... )
Maybe I should put that on ebay and spend the revenue on another cue.
