At 12, parents got me a Packard Bell 486 DX/33mhz with 4MB, 340MB 5200 rpm hard drive, and a 4800 baud modem. I uninstalled Windows 3.1 and just used DOS with Desqview. Installed QEMM and tweaked autoexec.bat and config.sys ... but sadly couldn’t run DOOM. ;’(

#4 looks like a docking station expansion.

... and be sure to load qemm in autoexec.bat and load HIMEM in config.sys.

yeah... but probably in black and white.

Loved that OS. It was superior to Windows ‘95.

waiting for someone to argue science and engineering are the same thing. :)

Someone must have hauled ass out of there at the last moment since the doors are suddenly open at the bottom of the structure right as the rocket engine ignites ... I’m assuming at 12:40 they’re all looking for the dude.

Everyone knows real drivers use manual transmissions.

I lived in a neighborhood for a while where leaf blowing seemed to be an excuse to get outdoors.

That’s disappointing.

I don’t know anything about this sort of stuff, but I’ve read about JRC years ago for the same thing and was mildly curious enough to read their website and a little Wikipedia... cause that’s how I spend Friday nights (I’m so cool).

Yeeeesh... need to kill this thing before it starts coming out of our toilets.

My ‘67 GT Fastback had a 2 point belt

Just one thing though... when driving around some land - like a farm - especially if needing to make a lot of stops to get in and out ... that damn beeper gets annoying REAL fast.

I don’t know how many times my old man got caught in that damn thing when trying to get out the door before it finally went all the way forward.

I think this is apples and oranges because I don’t think the A10 was ever meant to be a first strike type of aircraft, so the type of missions the F35 is meant to fight would be rather limited in scope compared to the types of conflicts we will likely find ourselves involved with. I have an affinity for the A10 and…

Smoke jumpers. It looks like they’re about 6,000ft up in the photo, but I have no idea the actual height that they would jump from. They can land in thick of trees, which is crazy. They have to wear special suits and mesh face masks to keep from being gouged by tree branches during the landing. Sometimes they get…
