@cdecaux @Rainmaker1973 The Disk ][ was released on 1 June 1978, 48 years ago and DOS 3.1 (first official Disk Operating System version) was released on 20 July 1978, followed by 3.2 in 1979, 3.3 in 1980 and ProDOS in 1984.

@historyinmemes That is an Apple LIsa 2, released in January 1984. The original Apple Lisa, recognizable because of its double Twiggy floppy drives was released in January 1983. The IBM Personal Computer (often called the IBM PC 5150) was released in August 1981.

@XerxesVonBraun @alphafox I loved 7. Super-stable and fast. As of 8 they added bloatware that slowed the system, with no really useful new features. Had to upgrade from 7 to 10 as after the 3 years of paid ESU on 7 some newer software updates would work. Now on the free ESU on 10 but still miss 7.

@alphafox Created a Directory called “DISKETTE”, a sub directory called “OFFICE97” and sub dirs called “DISK1” though “DISK37”.
Copied the files of each floppy in the appropriate sub dir.
That way no worries of corrupt floppies in the future, and the installation went much faster from HDD

@alphafox Did them all: 300, 1200, 2400, 9600, 19200 then ADSL at 64k on an ISDN line…

@tim_cook Time to retire Tim. Apple needs new fresh leadership and somebody that can host events live and not pre-recorded like you have been doing.

@cooperphil156 @d_w_k @DouglasCarswell Norway’s renewables are 98% Hydro, nothing to do with solar or wind.

@honeymoon250 Shame about the fake nails. Grow some of your own nails instead.

@wolvnr @alphafox I forgot that Digital Equipment Corp’s DECnet (Ethernet) could also run on BNC media. I had a client that had a small VMScluster connected this way (and connected to other VAX systems using the DECnet phase IV protocol also via BNC)

[Giorgio Ungarelli @ungarelli]

@wolvnr @alphafox I had several non-manufacturing clients using Ethernet and not Token Ring on BNC, running for example, Netware 3.11

@ObsoleteSony Boston (1976 album) in 1984, first time it came out on CD (and was AAD back then)

[Giorgio Ungarelli @ungarelli]

@wolvnr @alphafox BNC is just the transmission medium (Coax, 10BASE2), regardless of the protocol being used (Token Ring or Ethernet). Since ControlNet requires deterministic timing, it uses Token Ring as its protocol.

[Giorgio Ungarelli @ungarelli]

@wolvnr @alphafox Token Ring controls access by passing a special frame called a token around the network. A device can only send data when it has the token.

Ethernet lets devices try to send whenever they want. If two devices send at the same time, a collision happens and they retry.
