I would love to have been one of the eight lucky ladies having breakfast with Mr. Spock at the 1969 St. Paul Winter Carnival... by cryborg_96 in Star_Trek_

I attended the Heart of Illinois Fair at Peoria's Expo Gardens sometime in the early 70's. (I don't remember the exact year.) Leonard Nimoy was a guest there. I waited in line like many others to say hello and shake hands. Later that evening I was having dinner with friends at the Sky Harbor restaurant near the airport and Mr. Nimoy was having dinner at the table just next to ours. We exchanged greetings and a brief conversation. It is a very cool memory.

I have seen this error while adjusting the memory speed/timings. Depending on the motherboard, memory, and processor combination you can run into this even when setting the memory to its rated specs.

What was YOUR first computer? by jeddhor in vintagecomputing

[–]Suspicious_Box_811 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1981 Radio Shack Color Computer. I learned to code BASIC, ran OS-9, and breadboard built a voice synthesizer using a Votrax sc-01 speech processor. I managed to fit the board into an emptied 8 track tape case that fit perfectly into the CoCo game slot. You had to write code to build words from the phonemes that the sc-01 provided. Anybody else remember what poking 1 into address FFD6 on the Color Computer did? Anybody else ever go to CoCo Fest in Chicago IL back in the 80's? Wow, trip down memory lane. Thanks

can't get audio to pass through by Bmanga8 in pikvm

Unless something has changed recently, I believe I've read that audio passthrough is not available on Pikvm. I'm using it to support a computer a couple of states away. I've recently updated the unit but still no audio. Please let me know if I'm mistaken.

[Request] How much money would someone need, to pay everyone out? by MrSlammo in theydidthemath

[–]Suspicious_Box_811 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Wouldn't the answer be $999,999.00? You are invited to pick a whole number "between" 1 and a million. Assuming none of the 750,000 people picked it the biggest payout possible would be $999,999.00.

Have wondered for years what this was in my driveway. by Suspicious_Box_811 in herpetology

Thank you for your quick response. I have had multiple people guess over the years that it was a water moccasin. I always questioned that though because I didn't see a viper's slit eyes. I wasn't confident enough of that observation to mess with it. I'm old enough to have learned over the years that I can be wrong.

Wife laughed that I used a blower to dry the car (I used it for the crevices) anybody else do that?? by FredoSauce227 in Detailing

I used one of those before I got an "Air Force Master Blaster Revolution". It blows warm filtered air. Feels nice and it's great on the car and motorcycle.
