*that* looks mighty interesting.
tell me more.
You don’t really want to know how I tried to find the source of an error in a forum-software and how it took me an hour to realize that I just have to upload a single file again to fix a broken transmission?
Or are you doing this subtle english-thing to me? What’s it called? Eyerony? =)
i’m no good at irony-ing.
mostly because i can never tell the difference between it and sarcasm.
i *was* sort of teasing you, though.
and it’s good to hear that even smart young people struggle with this stuff…
all y’all tend to make everything look so easy.
—GEEZER ALERT—
figuring this shit out in the old days was ‘way harder when there were no lists to go to for help. no manuals, no assistance, only trial and error. being able to load network drivers into expanded / extended dos memory or managing to change the font on a printer with an escape code was an accomplishment. you kids now-a-days gots it so easy, i’m telling ya what, it’s no wonder my brain’s fried like a burnt pork sausage.
—END GEEZER ALERT—
Thank you. That did put my trouble in perspective. Yay internet!
But then I’m not that young anymore I too remember the times when I had to load drivers into the ext-memory of DOS. Mostly to free the base memory for games. =)
games?
Games?
GAMES?
yeah. like you were one of them damned kids that hosed up my dos lab computers by loading civilization and doom on them or trying to load unix on ‘em and messing up one after the other.
you weren”t a pasty, pudgy kid with glasses, were you?
’cause if you were i owe you a beating…
I got my glasses just now…
But I once managed to break our client/server-system at school. I made my client the server of the system. Since he only had a RAM-disk no one could save their work anymore.
From that moment on the teacher always had the OS-floppy in his jacket. What a pity… =)
(But those where neither DOS nor Unix. Some crappy east-german system.)
So I guess I’m lucky because you will not cross the ocean to give me what you owe me, won’t you?
i had to set my lab pc-s so that i could rebott them with a system disk and auto-download the lab software on them.
the only thing bad about working at a college is the kids.
and the faculty.
and the administrators.
it’s a good thing i don’t care for travel, otherwise you might have to be on your guard for an old crazy geezer hobo hitting you with a stick.
Lucky me! (^_^)
jeck thinks that this coversation would make a great cartoon.
Last panel: jeck sits cluelessly behind his computer. Arbus enters from behind, raises a stick and yells “SURPRISE!”.
Label the stick “US Cultural Imperialism” and I reckon you could sell your cartoon to any newspaper in Europe.
US Cultural Imperialism?
no fair!
jeck infested the ‘Merican language with “fucktard” and “assfiddle.”
and…
didn’t i learn “asshat” from you?
besides, i’m past the age i can surprise anybody.
my joints creak too loudly…
