Has 128k of memory and ran on Floppies and a Tape Recorder to upload your work to. Had it upgraded to 256k and cost $150 for the upgrade. Very easy to write DOS Programs and chugged away on a Dial Up 28k Modem.. Had an Old Daisy Wheel Printer as well that worked with it. Alas, poor DOS 6.0, I knew him well. Batch files galore. Dot Matrix was the cutting-edge shit, was it not? These youngins will never understand. I still roll up my Jeep windows with a crank handle. Ahhh the good old days...

That's basically all their was at the time was Dial Up Internet. 3GB Hard Drives was the largest when computers began advancing and those were worth $300 to buy. Now they are a dime a dozen. I can buy a 3TB Hard Drive today for less than that 3GB cost back in the 80's. I wouldn't go back to those days now even if they paid me to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised it hasn't started leaking from bottom rot. Yeesh. 0 The Fruit Flies will invade that Melon. Then Butch & Sundance will have a Hay Day with the Fruit Flies. Those are the type of foods you buy when it gets used up in the same day or put it in the Fridge. It's likely Imported as Watermelon is not naturally grown in Russia. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few modifications I made myself. Currently 403,629 miles on her and still going strong. I'll get her to 500k miles do or die. You want air conditioning? Roll down the winder and stick yer head out. You want music? Start playing that ukulele in the back. You want to have some fun? Buckle up and lemme slap it into 4WD... and away WE GO! 🤠 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have music in your rig? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was bought and intended for the most recent party of friends last week with the redhead, but forgotten during charades. A shame. It should have been spiked way before guests arriving LOL. I fucking hate fruit flies, they are my bane. I keep bowls of tomatoes in my kitchen because I grow tomatoes in my garden because I love tomatoes, but those little flying bastards always seem to invade. Butch loves chasing bugs, but Sundance could care less, unless they disturb his sleep, then he gets pissed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha yes, around '96 or '97 I finally earned enough money to buy and install a Sony Xplode system in the Jeep. 20 years later, it still kinda works, but be careful sticking CDs in there, bc sometimes they get stuck, and ya gotta fish them out with snips, which can damage the CD. So I just keep the radio tuned to 98.7 WMZQ "Today's Best Country" and I'm good to go. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though they're 50,000 watts, I don't think it reaches this far. Probably because of the mountains. I've listened to them before on iheartradio online, but I didn't know I could listen on Alexa. I have Alexa on my laptop. Worked like a charm. Thanks, Kjeld. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
