I know, USB storage is another new technology too.
 
I love my USB flash drive (2 GB). It's small and you can store data super fast- just plug it in and drag-and-drop. I can't do without it.

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. :)

Sounds like he owned a Les Paul Custom or two? Those are nice guitars but I prefer the Standard ones.

Yes, you're right, the LP compared to a Fender guitar is quite heavy. The one I have is a little under 9 lbs so it's not that bad. Below is a bigger picture of my LP and tube amp. :rockon:

Actually his wine-red Les Paul was a Standard model. I do not know about the black one. Is that your axe?

Didn't Les Paul himself, from what I recall, revolutionize the way a musician records his music? Gear wise that is- like dubbing and such? I remember reading something like that many years back. Am I (somewhat) correct on that?

floppy disks doesnt exist anymore.

Still exist, if you never actually seen or heard of again thus don't exist. I still use it. I know. But they sell it for 10 bucks now. If they don't exist, they sell it more than 10. But not used in newer models, just to clarify.
 
Oh, ok. Cool then. :thumb:

Yes, that's my current rig. The only thing not shown is the cab which is a 100-watt 1960TV (Tall Vintage), as well as my pedals. Right now I'm looking to buy another LP, the 1960 reissue model. :)

Yes, you're right, he did. Les Paul is the man! I need to visit him at this NYC joint where he plays every Tuesday nights, if I'm not mistaken.
 
I can clearly tell that you know what you doing. You must be an experienced player. Owning both a Les Paul (beautiful and well kept) and a tube amp (Marshall) tells me that. You must get that sweet, full tone on each note. Plus going through a tube amp, wow! Do you have compression- an effects rack? I bet you do.

Are you in a band? Have you recorded in a studio? I did once, at Criteria Studios if you could believe it. It's one of the finest studios in the world. That's where the Eagles recorded Hotel California. When you enter all you see is gold and platinum records on the walls.

Yeah, I know. I have two old computers at my parents house, still in the garage for full reinstallation, but don't have the time to do so. And in other hand, newer models dont have them, yeah - like my new laptop doesn't have it.
 
Yea, they're ARE phasing out now. Been phasing out since Mac started it.

I have one now... You see, someone threw it in the trash about 3 to 4 months ago and i picked it up and saved it.... Never used it until early this morning, i experiment it and found it out that it can save the data, photos and games in one USB 2.0 Traveling Disk (512MB) and then took it (travel disk) out of my cpu and then took it to my wife's cpu and download the games in super quick! And we were so SHOCKED :jaw: to see that and we love it!!!! It is good for backup data and etc in case if the cpu crashed or something like that... We never thought of that was possible until early this morning!!!! SUPERB!!!! :thumb:
 
Why are these people throwing out these USB in the trash!? Idiots! WW64, you're in luck. :thumb:

I guess that who did not pay the rent and did not pick their stuff wtihin 14 days and the manager's cleaning crew took all someone's belongs out of the apartment and threw in the trash... Those some stuffs are good to keep where i found from... To me it's a treasure!!! :lol:
 
Haha, good find. I have 1GB and 512MB memory Stick. :)
 
I have tons of notes from my ASL/Deaf related study and I use my flash drive to back it all up. I love it. It's great!
 
I dont have a memory stick (need to buy one for the laptop and another for the desktop) and dayumn they are handy little things ain't they? I plan on getting a set of 2G sticks.

I had a little mp3 player that could dual function as a flash drive (not an iPod it was an off brand) and it had a 1G storage capacity and I could fit 8 hours of music onto the thing and I was like LORDY this little bitty thing holds this MUCH media?! The mp3 player was -ahem- 'laundered' and thus no longer works.

Plus the flash drives are getting ridiculously cheap in price for the amount of storage capacity.

20 years ago you would have had to pay upwards of $1,000 or more for one gigabyte of storage (not to mention the fact that at the time it wasnt practical) nowadays you get 1G for what 20 or 30 dollars? And it fits conveniently in your pocket? Amazing.

As for the 3.5 floppy, I meant the huge 5 in. floppies but automatically put in 3.5 not thinking. And yes I can use my age as an exscuse, LOL.

Our first computer was an IBM PS/1. Like this model:
4506VV4023.jpg


The door flipped down to reveal two disk drives a 3.5 drive and a 5.25in drive. The OS was Windows 3.1. 14.4K dial up modem Trumpet Winsock 6MB memory (6MB damn thats SMALL today)
We had that thing up until 2000 or 2001 when we bought another computer with WinME on it, (56K dial-up) and then recently we bought another computer with WinXP on it with 256K DSL modem, and a ridiculous amount of memory at our disposal.

I have my personal laptop - Vista OS - 80G memory - CD-RW-DVD-RW drive, 3 USB ports, SD drive, and a wireless card drive.
 
oh BTW this is a screen shot of our first IE - lol
