Dizzy Posted March 24, 2013 Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 Blimey... thank goodness they were wrong... but then again if they had have been like that I wouldn't have had one and registered on here in 2005 When is that from Asp, any idea ?

Peter T Posted March 24, 2013 Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 You would have been dismayed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted March 24, 2013 Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 but I wouldn't have been able to tell you PS 'Dismayed' was better than the username I almost registered with at the time (ooh I was angry) and a good job I read the registration rules first or I may have been banned before I even started Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asperity Posted March 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 I don't know the source sorry Dizzy, just came across it this evening. But with a laptop that size you would need a reinforced lap!!!!!!!!!!! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evil Sid Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 Had to chuckle at the last line that said computers will be easy to use. something else they got wrong given the number of security updates you need for windows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fugtifino Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 Never mind all that. It's got a steering wheel. An EnormoPrinter. And lots of dials. And a screen. Heh, them boffins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 Did you know that it took 3 people to man and work that 'computer' and they were supervised by another watching over them. The console on the left (with the steering wheel) controlled the steam turbines. The center console was the nuclear reactor control panel and the right hand console controlled the electrical system. That is not a joke by the way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Sid Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 Be honest you would all like to have a go on it. Come to think of it isn't that the one the border force use to track illegals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 As for me wanting to have a go on it..... definately as long as it didn't actually go 'down' as I'd be scared stiff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
