lol.. BAUD rate. Wonder how many here even know what that is. It was so much fun to walk into a government building and find old System/36 systems still lying around... the dreaded hard drives the size of a masonry block that couldn't even hold a single CD's worth of data. Seriously, they were complete with fan/heatsink and literally like 20 lbs or heavier. Oh, and the 8 inch floppies.... 1/4 tape reels.

The good old days, when you could actually get at the guts of your OS. This Win8 crap is driving me NUTS!!!

Sometimes I wonder if that isn't part of our problem with SE these last few years. All the younger script kiddies that have no "old school" skills, and just don't know how to think things through and plan properly for the exceptions that can come their way. I remember first watching guys do things in Eclipse, and I was like WTF?!! It was like automated coding? When the hell did that happen?

Man.. I feel really old now... time for some Irish Coffee, and back to work.
