    Computer Stupidities

    Fooking geeky I know... but some are genuinely funny... with some just evidence of the requirement for a Eugenics programme...

    "On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question."
    -- Charles Babbage (1791-1871)

    Re: Computer Stupidities

    A man who owned a small business asked me to program a sales and inventory system for him. He was replacing his old 286 PC and had been running a DOS-based program.

    He wanted all the bells and whistles, wanted it browser-driven, with images of all the products in his inventory. But the most important thing to him was that it all run off of floppies -- his 286's hard drive had crashed in the past and he lost all his records, so now he didn't trust hard drives. Not only did he want the whole thing on floppies, he wanted to be able to do a backup onto one floppy every night.

    The other thing was that he didn't want to use a mouse or any other sort of pointing device.

    my first computer had one 5 1/4 floppy drive 64K mem or close to it . I upgrade it to two floppy driver one for dos and other for word program, mouse,hard driver what is that lol, come long way
    The first space shuttle enterprise the computer I think it had whopping 64K memory.
