    Keyboard Warriors: How many years of experience do you have with computers?

    Let's give some props to the people that weren't raised on a steady diet of GUI.

    These bitches that complain about keyboard warriors -- I guess you never realized what industry you were in -- the computer industry. Maybe when you get past "hunt and peck typing" you can post a reply that's a little longer than one sentence. So many newbs get on here and reply with smiley faces -- they can't even type!

    The real work in this biz is at the prompt... I'll never forget my dad set up our first computer's prompt to say, "yes, master c:>"

    Newbs bow to the power -> "yes, master"

      First computer ever used was a Sinclair ZX-80, way back in 1981.
      First use of a GUI was on an Atari ST, around 1986ish.
      First use of the internet was in 1991 at university - we were allocated 2MB of space each in which to store our work, and we though that amount was generous!

                  The first computer I used daily was Amiga 500.. no idea when I got that. Probably 88 or so.
                  ..and I'm off.

                      i got 6 years under my belt...when i got my frist computer a HP, I didnt even know how to turn that bitch on and off right. Never took it in for repairs or upgrades.. learned the ins and outs by trial and error...and the help of a few friends via telephone. Now i can build one from scratch. Mind you this HP is still going strong ..fuck the keyboard is still the original one.

                      I have added another pc and a laptop to my reportoire.....couldnt tell ya shit about how the laptop works internally.. thats a whole new project for me to figure out..

                      I guess i am still a newbie

                              My first OS was Amiga OS, in 1984ish. Next I used DOS on a big fancy 286. Since then, it's been all macs for me. (Though I've been happy to fix other people's windows boxes.)

                                  I'm 40/yo....my first experience with a computer was back in college at Arizona State in 89. Autocad just came out and since I was a Architect major it was a required class....I barely passed the class....

                                  My next experience was in 97 when I actually got into this business...I didn't know shit about computers then and to some extent still don't know much. All I know, is I can put a computer together and load an OS. I can type and no how to use a few shortcuts on my keyboard.

                                  What I do know and am smart enough to realize, is I have created a company and surrounded my self with intelligent and proficient people that do understand. All my employees are between the age of 19 and 21 y/o with the exception of my video editor who is 29...

                                  So I'm not sure what exactly your point is....

                                  If it is because I don't understand the intricacies of networking or backends, then yes I am a dumb fuck but if you want to know marketing strategies and how to make money in this biz, I'm your man.

                                  My number of posts on GFY doesn't have a direct correlation to whether I am a newb or if I have the skills to generate money in this biz.

                                              hahah... one of the early computers my dad had that i played on was a small heathkit (well, small for the day). it had a numeric keypad, an alphanumeric led readout, and he taught it t say "follow the yellow brick road". those were great times. that was probably my best guess around 83-85, something like that. been playing with computers ever since.

They had nice catalogs -- you could build just about any electronic device that you wanted to -- just follow the instructions and solder away... I have to admit I was never elite enough to solder my own PC

The following history covers the relationship with Atari, Inc., during the evolution of the system software.

                                                                          Sometime in early 1978, when the Atari 800 and 400 were still called "Coleen" and "Candy" and were still in the breadboard stages, Atari bought a copy of the source for Microsoft 8K BASIC. This version of BASIC was fundamentally the same product that was implemented by Commodore in the early PETs, was used by OSI, and was a close ancestor of Microsoft's Applesoft Basic. Six months and many, many Atari man-hours later, that 8K BASIC was almost functioning properly on the Atari prototypes. But buying source for a program buys you just that: source. Generally, you also receive little documentation, sometimes obscure code, no guide to modification, and no real support. What to do? The products were due to be shown in early January, 1979, at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, Nevada. "

The following history covers the relationship with Atari, Inc., during the evolution of the system software.

                                                                                                  Sometime in early 1978, when the Atari 800 and 400 were still called "Coleen" and "Candy" and were still in the breadboard stages, Atari bought a copy of the source for Microsoft 8K BASIC. This version of BASIC was fundamentally the same product that was implemented by Commodore in the early PETs, was used by OSI, and was a close ancestor of Microsoft's Applesoft Basic. Six months and many, many Atari man-hours later, that 8K BASIC was almost functioning properly on the Atari prototypes. But buying source for a program buys you just that: source. Generally, you also receive little documentation, sometimes obscure code, no guide to modification, and no real support. What to do? The products were due to be shown in early January, 1979, at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, Nevada. "

                                                                                                          then the Atari 800

                                                                                                          then the Amiga in late 1990...

                                                                                                          almost 25 years using a computer... fuck.

                                                                                                                  After that I went to Atari ST, and grudgingly downgraded to an XT turbo (12 Mhz!) PC when I had to start teaching basic computer skills (I was a teacher in those days)

Bought my gf a much faster P4 laptop recently, for the Firewire DV capture option, but I'm still really happy with this one...it does what I want it to with a minimum of fuss.

Yep there was TheDraw, and the coolest one was AcidDraw. Remember ACiD and the various groups that used to form and try to out do each other? Almost like Elite Groups.

                                                                                                                                                  Yeah RipTerm was the high end back then. Actual vector images and clickables.

You got your files from FIDO backbones and if you could find a 4-node BBS and get as many as four people into a chat room at once, it was an incredible experience. hehe

                                                                                                                                                  And the adult content was CDs from Night Owl, Windy City and Busty Babes. One of those, think it was the latter, later became known as ZMaster.

After that an amstrad, amiga, XT, 286, 386, 486, PI etc etc until now. When i was 14 year old my father started a computers shop and i started to work there while i was studing. At 18 years old i partnership with him in the shop and also started university studies but as i was so involved on the computers shop bussines, i left the uni 3 years later. Now i'm 28 and still own the shop, but i have ppl working there as i'm fulltime in porn. A whole life with computers and i hope will keep this way for some years more

Internet? There was no stinking Internet.
                                                                                                                                                                                                  Gawd I remember those days in college between in 1979 and 1980. Getting them all punched then turning them in to get them run.. only to wait and find out that something was wrong in one of the very first cards. From 1981 to 83 when I graduated, we got to use terminals that bogged down based on what they were doing with the mainframes at the time.

                                                                                                                                                                                                  Had a TRS80 Model one at home just before that also.

                                                                                                                                                                                                  Then terminals and PCs for accounting jobs after that. I'll never forget thos one 'portable' in the early '80s. It was larger than today's computer boxes and the keyboard actually was the bottom of the machine when it was closed up. The screen might have been 5 x 5.

All it could do was mathematical calculations. We wrote code using 5 hole punch paper tape. At the end of computer class to save your work you just roled up your program around your finger. Didn't have to worry about viruses back then just making sure you didn't accidentally tear your tape.

Made by Texas Instruments in 1972. A lot of you young guys weren't even born yet. I couldn't stop playing with this gadget. It was amazing how it could instantly calculate any amount of numbers.
