Bunny you are a champion, whenever I see you copping it from some zealot, out come the references to so many articles, that it gives me a head ache almost instantaneously. I love your style!!!
If you don't have anything nice to say
I havenât seen any bullying at all. What I have seen is people saying they are bullied. I have yet to see a case of true bullying here. For that, refer to Facebook LOL
Candy, that 8 MB RAM is what my first computer came standard with. I paid an extra $400 for another 4 megabytes. Thank goodness memory prices have come downâŚ
Ah, I worked for a company that sold them - little 6" CRT in them. Compaq, IIRC, which I probably donât.
Heh, my first one had 2 x 3.5" floppies. That was a PITA so we paid $600 for a 40MB HDD. Then a few years later, for my 486DX-66, I upgraded and added a 400MB HDD that I paid $600 for, and was amazed at how the prices were coming downâŚ
my first calculator was a slide ruler.
and my first real calculator was hp 25
I still have it
I knew of them but I canât remember if it was in my machine or another one I was using, so maybe not. Same damn era, though
Agreed, for the most part.
We have had our fair share of people who have anger issues and choose to attempt to work them out here.
What invariably happens is that either a.) a moderator notices and warns them to knock it off, or b.) a member flags one of their posts, followed by a).
If the person in question doesnât clean up their act, they are shown the door. The mods here are not inclined to put up with crap. I feel for people who have emotional issues. It sucks. But this isnât an anger management forum, itâs a keto forum.
It would be even cheaper if it werenât for the price fixing the last few years. Hopefully the class action helps correct the situation.
Iâm a mod here, and as I posted a few minutes ago, we take seriously the importance of making this a nice place for people to get help.
But Iâm going to ask that you take a step back and consider whether you might be taking things a little too personally. Yes, there will be people you encounter here who arenât always uber-polite, and some may challenge you on one point or another. But the vast majority of the time, they are doing so for your benefit. They might be trying to teach you to fish rather than giving you a fish, or trying to get you to see a point that has been hashed out over and over.
Not everything is a personal attack. I get your frustration, but I also hear some demands that things should be the way you want them. Thatâs not always how the world works. And itâs not how we get to live when we encounter others. So your choices are to stick around, and deal with the fact that not everyone will meet your standard for friendliness, or go your way. But if you think youâre going to find a friendlier bunch elsewhere, I wish you luck. Iâve seen what itâs like in many of the keto FB groupsâŚtrolls galore.
Youâve been a member of this forum for less than 3 months. Iâve been here since the beginning, and watched this community grow from nothing to more than 15,000 users (correction, more than 30,000 users). Given the size of this forum, itâs remarkable how few issues we see. Your experience is not consistent with what most users see here, so again, perhaps you might consider whether you are reading more into peopleâs responses than is really there.
Up to you whether you want to stick around or not. Either way, I wish you well.
Haha my 486 DX-2 with a Math Co processor had a massive 248 MB HDD, 16MB RAM, that PC was the best I could buy in 1994, it cost $4,600 what a rip off!! Laptops were something like $6,000! Windows 3.1 cost $100 and Appleâs OS cost around $2,000, now that was a real rip-off, no wonder everyone bought Microsoftâs crappy OS and made Bill a rich man.
I remember some old BBC thing that you had to type massive programs into just to create really basic games⌠and if there was just one error in the program code it wouldnât work.
This was it.
First computer I ever used, it was my brothers.
Does this apply for ALL of us?
Oh God, I canât believe we have this in common! After wasting away in the 8th ring of App hell, I finally gave up and bought an Android phone. Please tell me you switched to iPhone.
Well, thatâs ironic.
Thank you, Candy for getting this thread back on track!
Never mind.
Well said, @devhammer.
No chance. I had a 3GS when it was the only way to tether, and I needed that as a journo, but Apple prices are even stupider down here than they are in the US, and I really hate the whole âWe know whatâs best for youâ thing. Currently running - waits for laughter - a Nokia 6.1, and for $300, itâs great. My wife stole my last phone which is a Xiaomi A1, both are running Android one, but around $200-300, and both excellent.
But man, I loved the Windows phone OS (was it 8.x I had on my 1520? Canât remember). It was the best OS by miles. Live tiles, super-snappy, oh yeah.
I am amused by the idea that we need your permission.
