Hi, but if you do stay around please have a look at our RationalWiki:Newcomers' guide. Because it's a .... well sort of guide to newcomers. --Bobbing up 15:35, 4 October 2008 (EDT)
It also makes an excellent screensaver. Star of David.png Radioactive afikomen Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments. 16:49, 4 October 2008 (EDT)
What's a screensaver? Oh, wait... that's one of those things that were in use at the time of 8" floppy disks, right? --Just passing by 04:03, 5 October 2008 (EDT)
No, we were using 3 1/2" floppy disks by then. Star of David.png Radioactive afikomen Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments. 16:46, 5 October 2008 (EDT)
I thought real "screen savers" were more around the time of the 5" disks? Back when our main applications would burn into our monochrome screens if left on too long? (I know I had an orange one I could read words on when it was off...) Although I guess the problem lingered on into the 3 1/2" days... ħumanUser talk:Human 16:44, 4 December 2008 (EST)

The largest floppies were 5 1/4". I reckon I was banned on Conservapedia for a name similar to yours. Hi anyway. - User 03:42, 5 March 2009 (EST)
Huh? --Just passing by 03:52, 5 March 2009 (EST)
8" Floppies also; you're a mere youth Pi. ToastToastand marmite 03:56, 5 March 2009 (EST)
My first computer had a tape player for recording data. - User 04:01, 5 March 2009 (EST)
Mine also: Sinclair Z80 but the first computer I ever worked with had those big spinning tape drives in an air conditioned room. ToastToastand marmite 04:06, 5 March 2009 (EST)
My first computer was made of wooden beads sliding on metal rods. --Just passing by 04:17, 5 March 2009 (EST)
Luxury! We had to move our beads in grooves in the table. (when I say "beads", I mean dried Heinz beans) (and when I say "table", I mean cleared patch in the earth floor) ToastToastand marmite 04:23, 5 March 2009 (EST)
I had to run Rule 110 in a desert. With rocks. Evil evil Phantom Hoover! 20:53, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
Apparently you still do. At least I assume that's why it took you two months to post. --Just passing by 20:57, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
No, I've downgraded to OS X. Evil evil Phantom Hoover! 20:59, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

Sysop[edit]

Seing as you're obviously not "just passing by" and also not a pain in the bum, you are hereby and heretofore demoted to sysop. Your welcome pack block is on its way. Totnesmartin 10:49, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
