  1. OK...you guys got close with the 8 track. 8 Tracks had a tendency of loosing its track...Double Tracking. We constantly had to disassemble and used a phillips screwdriver to adjust the heads. Some players came with an access hole so you can put a screwdriver in and adjust it without disassembling. The ones without a hole had one manually added. ;)

     

    Now how many of you had this:

  2. My dad still owns a old 4 track Stellaphone although the buttons are a bit flakey now.

    You'd be old if you still remember LED calculators and mobile phones with massive SIM cards :lol:

    OH GAWD!!! That looks like my HS calculator (which didn't do calculus that well) that I still have collecting dust. :(

     

    8 track players - worst part was the middle when it switched over and the song would be interrupted by CLICK. It was always at the best part of the song too.

    Getting warm...I thought you had it for the screwdriver. ;)

  3. That used to be a trick with 8-Tracks that they would constantly do....another hint.

     

    Believe it or not, I still have a new car radio which has an 8-Track player. It is sealed up in a box from when my car was new. I replaced the 8-track with a cassette.

  4. I think Windows7 with UAC can stop it from being copied to the Windows folder. But I am unclear as to what would happen if upon reboot, the infected files are not there...ie, on Systems which have their OS Volume frozen with apps running DeepFreeze or Shadow Defender

  5. There are 3 AV programs I steer away from and instantly remove on any system I work on.....Norton, McAfee & MSE. My thumb-drive I carry with me have many tools. You would not believe how many time I plugged my drive into a system and file were instantly nuked. Now my flash is write protected to keep this from happening.

     

    We touched on Shadow Defender earlier. I am now running W7 with Shadow Defender only on my C drive with exclusions and also with ESET. I can't see how I would not at least need a firewall in conjunction with Shadow Defender. I just prefer to play it safe for now and run the suite.

  6. Is it the appeal of so many extensions that FF users find so attractive?

     

    (NOT going into the my browser is fast then yours thing here, I'm asking about the FF features that make users want to use it as their default).

    Unless add-ons start to work across platforms or they make the FF Add-on I use for "THAT" Browser, I am stuck on Firefox. I don't use anything but the released version and if there is a jump in revisions, I make sure my add-ons work 1st before I switch to that new version.

  7. HEHEHEHEHE....I still have NEW 5.25" 360 and HD floppies, 3.5" 720 & 1.44 disks, a notcher to turn 360 to HD, a tool to drill out the extra hole to convert 720k to 1.44mg.....wait there's more.......I bet no one has this......a 5.25"/3.5" combo floppy drive. :lol: I would eventually like to make the combo drive to work via USB so I can archive the floppies. :P

  8. Just make a portable of the version and try it. I don't use anything but the released version and the problems I had with v3 & v4 have disappeared with v5 & 6. Later versions are also faster IMHO.....but they take up more resources so on older systems, you may have to use a v2 or 3. I put a PIII laptop together for my sister-in-law and could only use v3 since newer versions really sucked up memory.

     

    If you want to make a portable, I can post instructions I have that I found somewhere...can't remember where.
