A friend of mine had an acoustic coupler for his Apple ][, but I started with FORTRAN on a DEC-System(no VAX/VMS yet) running TOPS-10 OS (?) in '78 or '79 in college, no dial up for me. Learned BASIC by copying the system games locally and editing them so I could shoot the Klingons 100% of the...
Something about that picture was gnawing at me. Finally think I figured it out. The dial is backwards. 1 should be where 9 is, etc. That's why the 909 area code was the worst for actual dialing. 9 clicks, 10 clicks, 9 clicks. Whereas 212 for NYC was 2 clicks, 1 click, 2 clicks.
The reason for the delay is that Ford realized that BC should've been counting down and they've been counting up. They're trying to figure out how to release smaller version numbers until they hit 0 and can start counting up again with AD. The biggest problem is that there is no 0 BC/AD and...
I was just happy that there were no photos of the original title happening. I'm assuming that the title will change and this comment won't make any sense anymore. ;)
