Nice avatar. The lead guitarist, a very talented musician (died of cancer of few years ago), from my previous rock band, owned two Les Pauls- one a red wine color and the other jet black. Those instruments sound great: a thick, whole tone that is unmatched by other electric guitars. He also owned a red 1971 (I think) Gibson SG- a beautiful dark red; all with original electronics. All he played through was tube amps making his sound just fabulous. Being the bass player myself, I ownd a 1976 P-bass. :wiggle:

The only thing I never liked about the Les Paul was its weight- heavy thing. My bass wasn't very light either. And to think I wanted a Fender Jazz bass...heavier still. But my shoulder got used to it. :)
 
*in a whiney 5-year-old tone* Are we there yee-et? :lol:
 
Not yet! A long way to go I guess!

I heard he's working on a secret project where the 1,000,000th poster will suddenly have a bunch of $100 bills ejecting out of the floppy drive. However, those who don't have a floppy drive will get nothing. I'm one of the few people who still use floppy drives. So, I guess I'm going to be the lucky one! ;)
 
you know its been ages since Ive seen a computer with a floppy drive. I remember those HUGE 3.5 inch floppies with a big hole in the middle, lol. I also remember playing the original Oregon Trail game on the Apple Macs in our schools computer lab in the early 90s (like from 1991-1996)
 
Oh yea I remember those game! :giggle:

It's been fun watching computer storage media shrink smaller and smaller while holding more and more data.

My current laptop (already obsolete, I'm sure) uses USB storage . . . everything crammed into one electronic device the size of a small folded penknife. I can also "burn" all my data onto one CD disk.

My desktop was purchased in 2002, and all its data is backed up on thirty the 3.5-inch "floppy" disks Dixie mentioned (although they aren't very floppy).

The TRS-80 computer I bought in '83 to get me through grad school had HUGE 5.25-inch disks which were truly floppy as plastic baggies and held very little data. A book-length manuscript took about three disks. I had hundreds of those big floppies in bulky plastic storage bins.

I won't be surprised to see the next generation of "disk" shrink to the size of a dime holding the complete Encyclopaedia Britannica and two other encyclopedias for cross-reference.

Maybe someday we'll carry the whole Library of Congress on the head of a pin stuck in our collars.

TRS-80! The color computer. Oh wow! That brings back memories. I remember when I first got it, I had to use tape recorder to "install" programs and save files. I was so happy when we finally got the floppy disk drives. It was so much faster and easier to do than tape recorders. Wow! Amazing how much computer technologly has gone.
 
I wonder if someone or me hit 1 millionth post get a prize? :fingersx:

Why not celebrate for a million? you asked? well for some of the forums that many tried to started but failed and had to take it down. I did started my own forum in 2005 but it failed. This forum stayed alive to this day and this is wonderful news. :bowdown: to AD. heh.. Maybe its not a big deal to you but to us deaf people it is big deal so we can get everyones experiences with ASL, deaf cultures, and every day lives.

Of course, we will :) ... that's the beauty of computer technology progress. I had to laugh about the time, in 1982/3 when we had the Commodore 64 and I dreaded the new progress but have been embracing the new advances since then ... have been in awe of these modern devices, getting smaller and smaller that seems impossible.
 
floppy disks doesnt exist anymore.

For newer models the floppy drive does not exist. I guess they figure that there is no use to have one since the user can burn the data on cd.
