At least it wasn't an 8086! 

HEY! I remember those....

HEY! I've still got one of those!

Anybody want it? Disk drive, everything's in original boxes.

I never used it. A coworker gave it to me. I still have my old XT and several original IBM PCs. You know, green monochrome screens, clock boards, extra memory boards, greatest keyboards ever made "clicky-click" - weight 10 pounds.

Anybody want some of those?

Please?

My grandpa had a Commedore 64.  This was like 25 years ago.  It didn't use a disk drive.  It used a cassette tape and it made sounds, like a fax machine.  It may have also had a disk drive because I remember playing Pac-man on it. 
I had one of those old skool Intelavisions (the early competitor to the Atari).

Did anybody else have an Intelivision?  Those were far superior to Atari's graphics, but it didn't have the choice of games and it used a strange gold disk instead of a joy stick.

Actually, IIRC, I'm older than you....and older than the Commodore 64...and older than dirt, for that matter (young dirt )! 

Man, the thread name wasn't lying; all this talk of nerd stuff really IS disturbing.

what a dumb 

When that picture originally came up in 1918, the story was it was from Brazil...but Brazil doesn't have road signs like that (they use chevrons at the curve).  Then in 1944 someone posted it up saying it happened in China, but I can't find any evidence that tehy sell Rebocks in China.  Around 1973 it was again brought up saying it had happened in South Africa but we all know people wreck...err...drive on the wrong side of the road in South Africa.  Same in 1987 with Australia...shortly after a short-lived rumor in 1986 that debris from the Challenger accident caused this guy's bike to spontaneously disentigrate.  Somewhere in the mid 90's it was being passed around that it was some boob trying to pass a truck on a gsxr600 which was obviously incorrect because the current 600's had conventional forks.

Now it's Oklahoma.  Well, it's not Oklahoma.  Why?  Burkea africana do not grow in Oklahoma.

I hate that stuff but always have to look  . I guess then the only good part is he probably wasn't concious long enough to feel much pain after the bike's first wobble. 

Oh yeah, go to the track if you want those speeds ARRGh!! ...
