When were you there omar? or are you there currently?

Back in September i was there for almost three weeks. Was racing in Terracina, Italy then vacation time. Was great not going to the main cities since we did that last time. Now we were able to explore the country further :)

And that is actually quite modern, nobody posted the 8" floppies that were used with PDP11s. :)

And with CP/M and TurboDOS machines.

Also, I see that the diskette isn't notched, so it hasn't yet been turned into a double-sided floppy. I remember when that was discovered, folks were sitting down notching all their floppies. Oh the humanity...

And then bitched like crazy when their data went to that great cyber-cemetery in the sky.

Floppies suffered from bit rot. Single-density (not sided) disks notched and used as double-density disks really suffered from bit rot.

Thanks Martin. I blame LR algorithm for the Canon 16-35 F/2.8...but in Pisa everything does lean so i guess its right ;)

i never liked the canon 16-35 for this distortion, i really like the rectilinear 10-24 Fuji lens though, way better than trying to rescue every shot

Vinyl is making a little bit of a comeback of late.

Yeah i really want to do a trip outside the normal touristy areas. My favorite place i've been to in Italy was Florence. I felt like it was the least touristy of the cities we went to.

Just to make you feel older now, Martin, there are now teenagers, born after the Sept 11th bombings... That makes you feel old, considering everyone remembers where they were and what they were doing when it all kicked off...

I might still have one. We did have 2 8" drives in a Trash-80.

And with CP/M and TurboDOS machines.

And then bitched like crazy when their data went to that great cyber-cemetery in the sky.

Floppies suffered from bit rot. Single-density (not sided) disks notched and used as double-density disks really suffered from bit rot.

Also, the way companies "copy protected" their floppies would be to permanently damage a sector, then search for that sector in the code. Until software was created to replicate the sector bad calls when running such code. :lol:

Also, I loved how I could peek and poke graphical elements into my code, so that when I did a listing, the peeked value for 15360 on the TRS80 (first memory location for the top most left pixel) could be stored in the first byte of some string array by poking into that array's memory location. Then we would write an app where we drew the game screen, then peeked the video memory, and poked it into a series of string arrays, then go to that game program and finish coding it. Oh the days... and the stupid stuff I still remember after 30 years, yikes.

Do you remember the day that will live in infamy? If you do, then you're old. Otherwise, you're nothing but a punk kid!
