I dunno, seems to me this site is still darn good. And it sure is doing its job!
I joined in July 2005 and didn't own a RF camera. Just had a long-unanswered itch and had read the Hicks book.
Now, 10 months later I have a Nikon S2 and SP, two Bessa R2S's about five Nkrs 5.0cm's, three Nkrs 3.5's, two CV 85's, two Nkrs 13.5's- oh an one CV 28! And let's just not count up the VFs, filters etc. etc.
Oh, and then there is the Contax IIIc, two Kiev 4AMs and....
OMG!
No wonder my wife is sharpening the meat cleaver! 😀

Not so new now.
I only came on board last fall, so to me it still seems a great place. I'm on other forums-one since the late '90s-and things do change. Sometimes it's the poster himself who goes another way.

I ran a BBS on Opus on a 1200 baud modem and routed 'emails' over FidoNet 🙂
The computer was a PC XT at 4.77Mhz and a 20Meg Harddrive and Hercules graphics 🙂
That...was in 1988/89... 🙂

no way, really? Wow. You're not much older than I. I was also in nursery school 22 years ago. Of course, I started very early (2). I thought of you as being older, I guess.

I'm not going to say a thing! It's been so long for me that I need a calculator to figure it out. But I'd know the answer a lot faster using a slide rule... if you know what I mean.

Gawd, FidoNet, Man that was fun. Sometimes I actually miss the 'handshake' noise.

1988, a 286/12, Telegard BBS software and a 2400 bps modem. I was a node on FidoNet and a charter subscriber to Boardwatch Magazine. Went to BBSCons for several years. Later switched to eSoft's TBBS for multi-line capability. Wrote my own BBS in shell on an AT&T 3b2.

I set up the 5th node (outside of Ma Bell) of the network that became Usenet - this around 1979. Remember when e-mail addresses looked like "duke!sid!rico"? AFAIAC, the whole Internet went to hell when non-academics were allowed to join! Hurumph, hurumph. 🙂

Things here are not so bad. One of my favorite forums dedicated to old C body Mopars had its moderator just up and disappear, and suddenly it became a pop up hell. Now it is pretty much dead 🙁

Unfortunately, I remember log tables before I upgraded to a slide rule - still have one in a drawer somewhere. Also remember the first office electronic calculator around '69 - about the size of a laptop and only add, subtract, multiply and divide - oh, the good old days 😀

All you weenies. I had a computer with a 6 inch monitor (monochrome green), not even 4 MB of disc space. I forgot what the thing was called, but I wrote programs to make beeping noises. That was when I was 6,7 years old. Back in 1987-1988. Programs written in assembly language.. . .
I hate computer programming now. I'd rarely use this computer if my photography, school, and RFF were not reliant on it.
