"Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning." Keeps things in perspective 8) 73 Jack. Title: Re: Wife got this in at Werk. Post by: w1vtp on May 20, 2009, 04:38:22 PM That's so true it's SCARY

..or used to be. Never forget the look on the techies face when the building finally got wired. I asked him if it was Ethernet thick or thin. Blank stare... right at my "Byte" mag.

I asked him if it was Ethernet thick or thin. I was coding for NYNEX in 1995 when they moved us from the old State Street Bank building in Boston into a new company building. My buddy and I got permission to strip any old cable, and we went in there on a Saturday and took out all the Ethernet coax that had been there since the dawn of time. My buddy wanted some of the RG-58 for his CB set, but I only wanted it for my Novell CNE studies, so we agreed he'd get all but a few jumper lengths. I got about twenty feet of the RG-58, all of the RG-8, and a ton of RG-62 from the 3270 controllers. It was <u>primo</u> cable, best-'o-Belden, and looked brand new. I gave away the last 10Base-5 transceiver about four years ago. 73, Bill W1AC |
