Hi, I'm @nout.
I remember the days when
- bytes had 3 bits, 4 at most
- GOTO 10 was the way to roll
- to do p2p connection, you had to physically crossover the UTP cable by cutting it with scissors
- ISA would produce different color sparks than PCI slots when you would stick a screwdriver in it
- you overclocked CPUs with blue ballpoint pens
- and if you messed up, it would end up in the Cloud
And to share a bit on my personality, I can tell you that at one point I used to sell bubblegum dressed up as a little devil with horns and all.
Pleasure to learn more about you @nout.

ahhh BASIC... the good old days... I remember messing around with Nibbles and Gorilla Bas as my first foray into programming...

:D I definitely have gorilla.bas nested somewhere in old_files.zip (and I'm not the only one)

haha what a trip down memory lane... I remember being so amazed by how much we could fit on a zip disk!
