Snoot Jun 2022 3:00pm, 15 Jun 2022 4,992 posts	Quote Pin Snoot Went to the National Museum of Computing at the weekend, so many 'I learnt Basic on one of them at College' or 'I had one of them' looking at PC's / PDA's / Mobiles!! First PC was a little better than this as it was the 1640 and had a 16 colour screen!! Had the wedge TI calculator, 2 of the Psion computers and 2 of the Palm PDA's on this pic...

Eynsham Red Jun 2022 5:07pm, 15 Jun 2022 8,820 posts	Quote Pin Eynsham Red You are right about abandoning the landline though! It’s only here for the Internet and my mum is the only person who has the number! I still have a landline so that I can speak to strangers 😂
royal jelly Jun 2022 8:51pm, 15 Jun 2022 3,173 posts	Quote Pin royal jelly I don’t speak to strangers! If I don’t recognise the number I don’t answer! Then I go into the who called me website check to see who it is then block them!
Lip Gloss Jun 2022 8:58pm, 15 Jun 2022 62,692 posts	Quote Pin Lip Gloss If a strange number calls I don’t answer and if they really want me then they can leave a message. We don’t have a phone plugged in and I’ve no idea what our number is anyway…just use our mobiles.
bigleggy Jun 2022 9:40pm, 15 Jun 2022 7,000 posts	Quote Pin bigleggy My land-line is currently broken. It comes as part of a bundle (phone, TV, broadband). I never use it but if I'm paying for it I expect it to be working. Currently in a twitter fight with them as I can't find a number to call them on ........on my mobile phone of course .....

JRitchie Jun 2022 9:59pm, 15 Jun 2022 3,176 posts	Quote Pin JRitchie Catching up. 1. Ford Fiesta. Oh how I miss the joys of a manual choke. NOT! 2. Brechin 4057. Drive me nuts when we moved to 01356 624057. So many numbers - no passwords happily. 3. I still get shoulder pains from lugging a luggable pool computer to clients. One client used to take a back up copy of the accounts by making a photocopy of the floppy disk and putting the paper in the office safe.
richmac Jun 2022 10:04pm, 15 Jun 2022 18,987 posts	Quote Pin richmac Was working at a company that did phone systems when a lot of code changes happened, I earned a lot of overtime manually updating a lot of files and I mean a lot. Think I'm still not allowed to say which was the biggest customer I did for summer bizarre reason.
