Nod32 Senior Citizens Discount

I'm just interpretting... doesn't mean that I perpetuated the "myth" - lol!

oh - and you should see the stick I get for being a Brit living here in the USA!!

 

ahaha you guys still debating this thread

 

LOL, check back next year, it'll still be going

 

I miss my Amstrad 464 Awesome

LOL. Most people looking at that today would think the cassette deck was for listening to music, instead of loading and saving data. If they even knew what a cassette deck was!

 

wow - I forgot I even owned one of those Brian_N - I first owned rather snazzy ZXSpectrum-48 - and because I had the 48kb model, I was the envy of all my mates! rotfl



ZXSpectrum, Amstrad 464, Commodore-64, Commodore Amiga 500, Commodore Amiga 1200, Macs (various)... PCs... various up to date...

 

ZX spectrum , is that the one that came out years later then the
Sinclair ZX80 and ZX81 ?


But what about this, Mata7? :
If i look at your signature and see what kind of computer you are running then i guess you can must be able to pay for Nod32.

I think that people that are still running the win98 version (released '97 almost 9 years ago)
have more reason for asking a discount.

Or perhaps NOD32 must release a special version for Dos 3.31 users
for free on 360kb 5,25" floppies.

 

That is because he got a senior citizen discount on those parts!

 

lol actually i did, here in Canada to many store offer Senior Citizen Discount like Thursday, so i go to that stores and pick up my parts

 

yes - ZX80 launched in 1980, ZX81 launched in March '81 and Spectrum launched in April '82... I got mine in June '82 I think... so I guess it was "years" - plural - but only JUST!

 

So um.. Where's the harddrive?

 

they're WELL pre-hard drives - pre-FLOPPY even ... I remember the first floppy drive I got... for the C-64 - it was 5 1/4" and we used to punch holes in the single sided ones with a hole-punch to to make them double sided! lol... we thought we were so flippin' clever!

 

Oh my god, I remember doing that as well but that ws with the VIC20!

First computer - ZX81, then VIC20 then ATARI 800, then Tandy TRS-80, then Psion handhelds (3 diff models) then pc laptop and now Mac Powerbook G4

 

HAHA! You guys remember a program called "TL" (Turbo Loader) ?
Useable via LOAD "xyz",8,1

That was my own creation During Loading you had funny flickering colorized lettes on the screen and the background color (outside of the window) was flickering too. This "Random Letters & Colors" in the main window actually was code of the Loader itself, because i had problems to "turbo charge" big applications like ACE (Air Combat Emulator) - and by the way i ported this game ACE to PC years ago - by running out of memory because the Loader itself took a round 2kb, later versions (thats why the characters were also blinking and colorized because i had to use the Screen Color Buffer as turbo loader program memory)

There was even a book with my source code for the ZX80 published - i must search but i think i still have it. Things like "Winter Games" where you skying down a "hill" with a "A"-character as player, Then BOMBER - that was one of the popularest games for ZX what i wrote.

 

The funny thing is that the ZX80 and that book are more expensive now,
then they were then.

It are really collectors items, and there are user groups that stil, use those and make new progs for it.

I wonder if they have a virusscanner today for it

anyone worked with the OHIO Superboard those days?

Perhaps we must have a Senior Citizens Security forum,
for the older computer specialists/users .

So we can talk about the old days, and where to get discounts
on rollators, and which brand of punch cards where the best

Or where to buy 35 inch CRT monitors for cheap
that can run on 640x480.

 

wow... we only have to look at such things to realize just how far computing and technology has come in a short 20 years or so!

 

The best thing I could do at the time on my* Amstrad, was to get the screen to display 3 or 4 (maybe more) different colors and a weird banking script. It was almost like writing half a book, so I just used it to play some awesome games that took half a day just to load from the ultra fast casette drive or whatever you call it

But then again, I think I was only 4-5 years old at the time
*My dads Amstrad, later on it became mine.

 

Will this count as getting a Senior Discount?

The IBM 610 Auto-Point Computer was designed in the portholed attic of Watson Lab at Columbia University by John Lentz between 1948 and 1954 as the Personal Automatic Computer (PAC) and announced by IBM as the 610 Auto-Point in 1957¹. The IBM 610 was the first personal computer, in the sense that it was the first computer intended for use by one person (e.g. in an office) and controlled from a keyboard². The large cabinet contains a magnetic drum, the arithmetic control circuitry, a control panel, and separate paper-tape readers and punches for program and data (according to one former user, Russ Jensen, "The machine was programmed by a punched paper tape which duplicated itself in order to perform extra passes through the code". The IBM electric typewriter printed the output at 18 characters per second; the other device was the operator's keyboard for control and data entry, which incorporated a small cathode ray tube (two inches, 32×10 pixels) that could display the contents of any register [4]. A "register" is any of 84 drum locations (31 digits plus sign). The control panel provides additional programming control (e.g. for creating subroutines, typically for trigonometric or other mathematical functions). Price: $55,000.00 (or rental at $1150/month, $460 academic). 180 units were produced.

 

That looks just like my dishwasher

 

Perhaps, if you where 50 years old when you start working with it,
and if you were their first IBM 610 customer.



But if were one of the first to work with:

The Salamis tablet:
see:

I am SURE you get a nice discount !

 

If you did work with The Salamis tablet, then they sould give you a Lifetime User and Password.
