Blues76 Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 Hello all, Every few weeks, I change a picture outside of my office. Of course, nothing is better than Atari 8-bit computer (in my opinion). I have been searching in google (images) and I haven't found the ONE image. I'm looking for an image of Atari 8-bit (XL or XE) with a nice setup and ideally with someone coding. At the same, a picture that was taken during 80s -- maybe one in magazine. I know this is a very trivial request and it doesn't compare to more important threads here but I love my students to see different technologies that were available, from time to time. Thanks, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mclaneinc Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 (edited) Lol...Missed that pic of Chris in the past....Probably classed as 'not PC' these days but sod it, its from a time when games were fun and not being called the devils spawn that makes youngsters in to serial killers etc.. The games are stil fun these days but you have to be so 'careful' in case someone claims you are inferring something....Jebus..

I know the picture to be inappropriate and sexist, in my opinion. It is horrible to think, in a time that we want women to join Computer Science even more, you would post the picture. Look, it is fine if you want to picture but I think I was clear in what I looking for and for what. Don't you think this picture would send the wrong message? I think so.

Well it's clear the image is made to be attractive for men. It would send message you like girls. Is it wrong message ? Though I can understand it's not appropriate for general public ..

Though I can understand it's not appropriate for general public .. It sends the message that women are object. Look, you can print in and put it in your house if you like but this is not something I would put outside my office (nor my house for that matter). You need that picture to send the message that you are attracted to women? (you said girls but I'm sure you meant women) ==>> By the way, I was asking for real and serious photos. I don't want to start a debate here. You can think differently. I'm only looking for a cool picture.

Let girls be WHATEVER they want to... not just your alarmist / pre-packaged notion of what they are / should be or not. The unforgiving rigor of Computer Science and digital electronics is a bit tough on women's thinking model. Girls are naturally spontaneus, instinctively intuitive, usually less structured and operate heavily on multi / hyper-thread mode. Men are more linear, more structured, more vertical, or "simpler", and this limitation is actually an advantage in computing technology. I am not sure you could have good sex with a woman that thinks like a computer (just some food for thought...)

_The Doctor__ Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 (edited) OMG girls, women, boys men, male, female.... are we really at such a low point in human development that it's all so controversial. Guys, Girls..... see it's okay... You insisting women or woman evokes outrage from ladies! Please just thank him kindly for his offering and pick from all of the others, why everyone makes big monumental issues over every little thing these days... Breathe easy, it will be ok. Pick from all the other choices, click on some of the offered links. Men are treated like object too ! I've been treated like a piece of meat repeatedly... I know of at least two 'women' who have coded wearing far less by their choice, an extremely wonderful thing in my opinion. Bikini is not a bad thing....

My wife saw the image and smiled. She even said the girl was cute. When did we lose the ability to joke and admire things? FFS. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_The Doctor__ Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 (edited) depends on the office, a lady can run her office and wear anything she wants (as I found out) at one particular point in my teenage life I worked for a carpet cleaning company as a second job, it was run by a woman who ran the phone and computers poolside. She wore something that resembled a string between her cheeks. (bottom cheeks that is..) It is wrong to assume it's all the bad man's fault.... All summer long you could expect something like that when approaching the boss. Edited November 6, 2018 by _The Doctor__ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it was more for the benefit of the rest of us. The 1st picture in #16 looks like it might be perfect for you though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_The Doctor__ Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 (edited) Including grey 800s, judging by one photo. Yes because you can't tell from the photo flash (blue tint) that the reptilian geyish blue zombie child next to it or all the other blu/grey items around it are because of the lighting. Every natural color photo and Artist rendering at the time shows the color was as I have told you, I even gave you the color palette. Informed you about production variance. I know you want and wish it to be otherwise but it won't be. This photo proves reptilian zombies live, Reptar is real! Rahr!

_The Doctor__ Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 (edited) I was trying to work in the craze of reptilians references in there https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reptilians LMFAO they are among us .... People believe this stuff? I have a neighbor who believes in 'duppies' and zombies... and half this of that humanoids... what is a duppy? I thought it was a fish...(guppy) You have to go through the door watching out as you enter so the duppies don't follow you in... what is that? she has a Caribbean sounding accent. Maybe I need a different spelling cause all that comes up is a cartoon and fish... *edits* asking again, it sounded like gduppy or dguppy... searched google and it comes up as voodoo evil spirits or ghosts... I changed the spelling in my post to follow what I found. Maybe grey 800's have VOODOO graphics cards in them!

flashjazzcat Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 I'm sure zombies exist, but I think they're known as NPCs nowadays. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
