I didn't know it then, but I found out later that the sound those beasts made is really similar, though not nearly as loud, as the sound of a rotary cannon, like in the A-10 or the chin turret of an Apache or Huey Cobra. The guns make a lot more vibration, though. ;-) > "Go be sysadmin of that". Yep, S.O.P. in the "olden days". Come to think of it, I've learned a lot more doing that than in all of the college classes I took, plus any of the classes that employers have sent me to. > The first laser printer I saw had two modes, ... daisy wheel > emulation and Epson emulation ... That was pretty common back then. If they emulated the Epson FX-80 you usually could do graphics with the Epson emulation commands, but if they emulated the MX-80 or earlier, then you often couldn't. The MX-80 could do graphics, but for some reason I don't recall those emulations getting the graphics commands. > the analogy breaks down unless I can figure out what "the software > runs but you lose infinity focus" could possibly mean.)) Well, many software design teams seem to have lost infinity focus before the product was completed, if that counts for anything. > Oy, I just reread that last paragraph and realized it's a good > thing I didn't try to drive to rehearsal feeling like this...
