So this is what the gurus thought a home computer would look like in 2004!
;D ;D
P.S.
Dawn, please pull this if the BBS doesn't want us to post pics. I just thought it was funny.
Don:
I absolutely loved it! So much so that I had Renee come and look at it too.
Dawn :D
BTW...
What's with the wheel?
You mean your guys computers don't look like that ???
:P
you know that's a hoax, right?
Sorry to spoil the fun. :D

Oh crap!!!
I just googled 1954 Rand home computer and got this...

It's a fake!
It's a mock up of a submarine!!! ARGHH!! :o :o
If you have any mercy you'll pull this whole thread down before Chris sees it! I swear I didn't know it. Why me, God, Why me!?!
:-[ :-[ :-[
Aaahhhhhh...
That explains the wheel.... (and all the dials, leave it to analytical Renee to start asking all the 'why' questions).
I don't care, I still love it.
Dawn :)
That IS funny :P
But Don, You can delete your own posts...
top right...
I was gonna gess the wheel to be for antenna guidance
;D gotta get reception ::)
Well here's a picture that is not a hoax of the IBM 704 computer.

Oh well, might as well let Chris have his laugh at my expense. Ever since I wapped him last summer he calls me the submarine captain. I don't know if I'll ever live it down. :)
I was over reading your post about stunts and safety. That's a pretty damning report by Inside Edition. I wonder if they'd bother to listen to anyone telling them about safety.
How's your knee?

I was wondering the -whole- while, what that "captain" thing was about... :o I missed it..
With the level of Competition on the street, it's pretty fitting that these guys Chose the #1 part in the #1 Stunnas,......
There's still remaining a bunch of seasoned street riders heading up other clubs and known to have concerns, "Deaths on the streets" has been a pretty hott topic in Chicago for the past 4-5 months, But it really just comes and goes.. (the number of "grim fatalities", thats what gets the attention, "someone saw it" death) everyone knows (if youve been around for a while) In CHICAGO this year, last year (nearby) Indiana, Wisconsin... The traffic death toll was up...
I was one of the VAST majority, I risked my life for nothing when you add it up (maybe), I want to issue a serious public "call out" when the time comes (now) That "how can you truly be the best if you havent beaten everyone" and TO ANSWER THE QUESTION, NO, I dont know if EVERYONE can be reached, But the vast majority shouldnt take more than 7-9 yrs to "turn"...
And also, I like the XSBA/FormulaUsa... And I like that CCS had a STUNT SHOW in 04...
And Inside Edition has to keep the ratings, I dont knock them, they are one of my favs, but I now KNOW 1ST HAND the dealings of, lessay local Chicago TV news reporters requesting and conducting interviews only to air perfect examples of why the word "edit" is in their name... it's in the game...
The knee is, really, going really good, but,.... starting rehab now.. we start to really push it this week..
Nite..
ping.... ping.... ah, Captain, we have a LARGE blip on screen, looks like a K3 class battleship.... ping.... ping.... That Devil! Where did he come from? Battle Stations! All hands, battle stations! Load forward tubes.... ping... ping... Need a firing solution... Ping...Ping...Ping... ah, sonar reports K3 class coming hard a port, dead Ahead! PINGPINGPINGPING!!!!!!!!!! Woah! All engines full reverse! Prepare for impact! DIVE! DIVE! DIVE! DIVE!
;D :D ;D :D ;D :D ;D :D ;D :D ;D :D ;D :D ;D :D ;D :D
Well, if you moved your fat a$$ out of the way people wouldn't run into you so much

I've found several. The ones I can afford are all worn out supersports. The really nice ones are still thousands out of my reach at this point. I'm hoping for some good overtime.
Edgar, E me. Need to talk.
Don, did you get that snail mail I sent you? ;D
Yep. Very well written, but I expected no less. I confess I don't know whether to frame it or hide it out of embarassment! I think I'll just pretend I never had an R6.
P.S. Nice pics by sliderphoto. You look so graceful tumbling around like that. :P ;D
Quote I think I'll just pretend I never had an R6.
OK. Send me the $$$ you got when you sold it, and I'll pretend you never had an R6 too. :D
