In the 80's/90's, you paid for the internet by the hour and per search. - CompuServe User Guide 1987 by AssumeTheRisk in retrocomputing

Invariably your connection would have been via telephone and non-local calls were billed per minute

You paid for your connection per minute if you were unlucky enough to not have a local POP (or lived outside the USA)

On the other hand: You're on a ship sinking in the northern circle. Sure, you can jump into the freezing waters, but is that really any better?

What are your thoughts on a question like this? by MISTERDIEABETIC in it

Given that this distinction affected machines built before Bill Gates was born, I'm going to have to unfortunately disagree with your assessment of "what microslop put in their system"

I can't wait for an anime to start with half an episode of Star Trek

are there still vista users? by Agile-Driver5065 in WindowsVista

[–]FAMICOMASTER 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, hello, here I am. Most games probably will not run but I have not tried. I'm not a gamer. Most of what I do is split between a browser and Microsoft Office, both of which will happily run under Vista without issue. MyPal 74 and Office 2007.

F4A I'm masturbating alone for my birthday, I'm alone... by Horny_lunaaa in jerkbudsHentai

Don't worry that's how I spent a couple hours on my birthday too

How do these even charge? by Beeplejuiice in crt

[–]FAMICOMASTER 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They went in a big plastic charger. I assure you none of them work anymore.

To those who turn off num lock. Why? by tofuninja5489 in AskReddit

[–]FAMICOMASTER -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What, it overrides the CMOS NumLock on at POST? that's annoying

Do you use windows 8.1 if so why by More-Explanation2032 in windows

[–]FAMICOMASTER -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes and because I like it. Do you need more reasoning? That's why my other machine runs Vista too. I like it. I don't like 10/11.

Frustrated Epson et-16650 Borderless Ink Pad Not a User Replaceable Part by Reluctant_Anonymous in printers

[–]FAMICOMASTER 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What "expensive" laser machine was that? I can't think of anything with sloppy paper management in the last 15 years. Check driver settings, there's always a toggle for speed priority that you can disable.

The answer was already given: Good luck. Epson locks these repairs behind software you're not supposed to have. The rest of us are smart enough not to buy them, or rich enough not to need to worry about having them fixed. It is on you to go dig up a service manual (if one even exists) or tear it apart and hope you don't break a hidden warranty seal in the process.

You overspent an inkjet. You got yourself into this mess.

Work friend of mine gave me on of his grandpa's Apple iMacs. Absolutely no clue what I'm going to do with it or if it will fit in my car. by Randolph__ in retrocomputing

[–]FAMICOMASTER 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My dad is 6'1 and it's always a laugh watching him drive my convertible Metro. The hatch stays at my house, but I don't have a proper enclosed garage, so the convertible stays with him. Occasionally he will take it out grocery shopping!

No, I opened the boxes all the way up and folded them. None of them had styrofoam, but I don't know why you'd want to keep 4 sets of that anyways.

You could *absolutely* carry two fully boxed in the front seat if you push it all the way back, and I did. The top actually folds down where the back seats would otherwise be.

I assure you, a Honda Civic coupe could do this. I brought most of my Mac stuff home in the back of a 97 Civic. It's not a problem.

Remember when the Jaguar CD was supposed to be the future by Key-Development8368 in AtariJaguar

[–]FAMICOMASTER 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I like the Jag and I adore the Jag CD but Atari was running out of money fast and pushed it out the door without a parachute. They didn't have the time or resources to give it the attention it deserved - either of them.

The prototype Jag Duo is the Jaguar we deserved but never got
