Anyone remember when weed had seeds?
i remember swaggered pot....now they want $20 for one seed.....and i've seen pot plants, they make a lot of seeds.....

Brew 66 was disgusting - worse than Olymipa. I remember the Northlake Tavern in the "U" district in Seattle. They had the best pizza around, but the only beer they had was Brew 66. In those days, I was willing to compromise on the beer to have the pizza.

i was very young but i think i was learning how to spell jumping over barrels.....lol (strangely i remember it looking different )
Seriously? I think I had one of those in the garage, but my wife has been isolation cleaning like mad...I had to look it up. It's apparently worth some money now.

Early to mid ‘70s there was an electronics company called SouthWestTechnicalProducts based in Texas.
I built my first computer kit from them.
Motorola 6800 processor and a whopping 1k of ram.
When I ran my first computer program, it took nearly an hour to debug the code (something about a “get” command).
Those were the days!
Oh hell no!
This was the original “Hello World” program!
It took longer to debug than it did to actually input.
But debugging was a point of pride.
And far too often the mistake was one of perception, not incompetence.
And yet, he tried to get Steve Jobs to write the operating system for the new IBM home computer.Yep, I went through the mainframe compiler / fanfold output times, the card entry (Hollerith cards) to mainframe to fanfold times, etc. I still write code daily for my work. Things have changed a bit since then, haha.
That guy Hollerith got the idea for the punch cards from the french, who used a similar card to program their automated looms. Hollerith made the cards the exact same size as the dollar bill (a bill was larger then than now). Hollerith became somewhat successful with this little invention - later, he renamed his company IBM .
And Microsoft Windows GUI was born.
It was more of a schedule issue. Time to market required they procure a pre-existing OS. They tried for CPM, but the owner's wife and head lawyer wouldn't sign the NDA, so IBM went looking elsewhere. They ended up at Microsoft who had bought (or would go out and buy after the deal) Q-DOS (Quick and Dirty Operating System) from Seattle Computer (IIRC). Q-DOS got rebranded as PC-DOS and MS-DOS. The smartest thing MS did was to license DOS to IBM rather than sell it outright. MS went on to shaft IBM on the OS2 joint development agreement by splitting off Windows as a separate product, and then forcing OS2 to become incompatible with Windows.The story I remember is that IBM saw the future of computers in hardware. So some smart MBA types outsourced the dos to some kids named Bill Gates and Paul Allen to lower their costs.
remember when pkzip was still the archiver of choice?
I don't recall the source but I think the GUI made famous by apple and MS was someone else's idea. I want to say it was group at Xerox but it could of been somewhere else.
How about 8" floppies, or 14" single platter hard disk cartridges (for IBM 1130, etc.)?I remember when the 3.5" floppy was a big deal. It was smaller and had a hard case.

Yep, Zerox PARC (Palo Alto Research Center) Jobs visited there, then implemented for Apple. Then Apple sued Microsoft for implementing a similar windowing system in Windows. PARC also invented the mouse.I don't recall the source but I think the GUI made famous by apple and MS was someone else's idea.

Heck... Three, even four finger lids for $10 -$15... yeah lots of shake, seeds and stems but hey it worked!
Anyone remember when weed had seeds? How about using an album cover to separate them? How about when Schlitz was the number 1 beer and it had Gusto?
Our first computer back in the early 80's was a Texas Instruments TI-99. No hard drive, just the cassette tape. Mom bought an RU486 thing to make it faster. I learned to program on that thing; I remember getting Byte magazine and looking for the programs they would include, and typing for what seemed like hours to make pretty patterns on the TV. Then we got an Apple IIc and thought we were hot sh*t. Those were fun days.
Is it weird that I just saw you and I joined HBT on the same day but two years apart? I can't sleep.For me, it was a TRS-80......started using it to produce and print out bills to customers.
