  1. first ? nah by l3v1 · · Score: 1 · on Commodore 64 Still Beloved After All These Years

    The first I've ever coded on was one like this (I was 12-13, but it actually was around '90-'91), the first I owned was a C64C, and then a C64G, which was the one I really liked, and I still have it. It's like an old friend that never pisses you off and when you sit down with him with a beer you can chat hours long :D

  5. Been done. Didn't know? Tells you something. by Kris_J · · Score: 1 · on Xbox Next to Include PC/Console Hybrid Option?

    This sounds like the hugely obscure Amstrad Mega PC. It was a 386 SX 25 MHz with a whole 1MB of RAM and a Sega MegaDrive all in the one box. The main problem was that the PC started life underpowered and was hard to upgrade, so half of it became out of date particularly fast. Destined to become a collectors' item.

  9. Re:Texas Instruments by blakespot · · Score: 2 · on Collecting Classic Computers
    The first computer I started using was obsolete at the time I started using it. Still have it as well, an old TI 99/4A. Also have TI's first laptop attempt, with the one line character display. Got that as a free gift from one of those travel resort trips...

    I do not have my original TI-99/4A, but I grabbed another one from Salvation Army (the gay-haters that they are) after I was reunited with the TI when my girlfriend at the time whipped one of the more recent white models out of her attic. I played with it but wanted a black and silver unit, so I searched and found.

    I remember back, '87 or so, in the day I desperately wanted to grab another TI (I had let my orig. go to get an Apple //c) and expand it with a Myarc Geneve 9640 ( here's a French page with a better pic )

    ....to post an incomplete, long forgotten URL to a site that hasn't gone ahead and added much in the way of content, when there are some truly excellent sites out there with really great and inspiring content, worked on by people who care.

    Yeah, let me throw some URL where my mouth is.

  11. Manuel was here. by Raffzahn · · Score: 1 · on On Creating Multilingual Web Sites?

    I still prefer the old style: no fancy markings and XML - all you get is bloaded source - and stuff hard to maintain. Take a look at my VCFe site at http://www.homecomputer.de/VCFe/ or http://www.vintage.org/VCFe/.

    A seperate (sub)directory for every language and a selection script at root for the desired language according to the HTTP request. If the User comes in via the default URL, he will be switched to his language - if he enters thru one of the (sub)dirs, he may switch tehm at will. And if you can't install the switcher script, a small perl util will move the aprobiate index.html to the site root.

    All pages are static at the server, so access time is fast - well unless your information is dynamic - and you may install your site within any existing server - remember, your best design may be void if your provider changes the server soft.

    For dseign the pages are seperated into a common framework for all pages (once per language) and seperate content files for each page - a set pf perl scripts will concat them into the effective pages when the site is generated.

    I did use the basic utils on several sites without change - ov course, as more complex the framework gets, as more specific the scripts have to be to incooperate features - But as we all know, only a simple design ma reach maximum audience. If you want to increase your audience by offering alternative languages, you shouldn't repell your visitors by using to 'modern' designs.

    One of the main benefits is that the content files bear only a minimum (HTML) overhead, and even unexperienced people may translate them without geting confused by and interfering with the frame design. This saves a lot of debug time.

    Well, it's my way - YMMV
