The maze was so popular that it was turned into games of their own. “That thing is clearly Satanic, Johnny Jnr! Go clean up your room now while momma sorts out this devil…” Later versions of the screensaver would introduce new textures and colours, some of them wild enough to be a trip of their own even if you weren’t into drugs. The textures of the maze were, by default, a sandy floor, brick-faced calls and an asbestos roof. Microsoft shipped it as a standard item with Windows 95 and given that Direct X and OpenGL were still in a war of who would dominate the OS, Microsoft’s engineers developed the screensaver, driven by OpenGL, probably as a subtle way of showing them what the engine was capable of. Not much information is available on this timeless time-waster that we watched more often than we played Galaxian or Circus Charlie. While Windows 95 didn’t change things as much as Windows 2000 did (and still does, because it has the best network stack Microsoft has ever, or will ever, design), it did bring one thing that brought joy to everyone who followed it’s exploits (and no, it wasn’t the Start button)… “That’s right, boys and girls, I’m back to blow your minds again!” Some of the old folk here do, however, and more hours were spent staring at the screen when it came on than there were playing games, or watching the telly. We are running a complete Ubiquity network with the big boy AC Pro AP's a.So for those of you who were born from 1995 and onwards and never used Windows 95, you won’t remember this. We have a particular client who has around 150 Network Devices at their location which are a mix of Ethernet and WiFi and a mix of Gigabit, 10/100, and mixed wifi standards devices. Network Throughput and Bandwidth Discussion Networking.Some of us mix light and dark mode across devices and apps whether it's easier on the eyes, to prolong battery life, or just more appealing. In your opinion, which mode gives the best user experience? Light and dark mode aren't reserved just for phones. This is my memory situation is what CPU-Z says about my memory looked at my motherboard and I see I have two slots to double my memory. I am off today, like most everyone else, so I don’t expect too manyĭo drop by today, well, here is your July 4th Spark! Guess what Spark! Pro series – 4th July 2022 Spiceworks Originals.8" floppies, PDPs, that's old stuffTrash 80.pretty old. That's not even old.punch cards, now that's old. You powered on your TRS80 sequentially after the person before you did, otherwise you'd have a tape boot storm. Not that old :-), I started with TRS-80s in school and the whole class shared a single tape drive. I even put out a little "demo", as we used to call them, every month called the "Phreakers File" that would hand out virgin codes like 0488s that we hacked using war dialers and templates. We phreaked like crazy, hacked AT&T like crazy, hacked VMBs and took them over so we could record our own messages and give out uh."hacked stuff" you could say. I also ran a hack/phreak BBS on my 1200 baud modem (yes, I upgraded from 300 so my site would be l33t) in. That I could direct copy between two 3.5" disks was insanely cool. Dude, do you have any idea how cool that made me? Everyone still had nothing but a cassette drive or a 5 1/4 floppy. Now THAT thing was bad ass! Eventually I was able to get dual 3.5" floppies. Once I was able to upgrade I got a Commodore 64. I learned to program/code/whatever BASIC on a Vic20. I think it's awesome that some of us have been around so long.
