Gary from OPA Posted November 1 Share Posted November 1 Time Cut is now available on Netflix.. the plot of the movie is it takes you back to 2003... Forgot the 70s/80s/90s... That is ancient history only for dusty museums now, not for viewing on your smart TV. The era of the early 2000's is now the new vintage retro era for the small screen that today's generation wants to jump back to and enjoy again and relive the fun. ssstwitter.com_1730430811560.mp4 1 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/346007-off-topic-dumping-thread/page/252/#findComment-5558872 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having installed various Linux Distros on my on 2011 Macbook the best option is to search on YouTube and visually see how it's done, most even provide links etc. Just one example: 3 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/346007-off-topic-dumping-thread/page/252/#findComment-5559483 Share on other sites More sharing options...

GDMike Posted November 3 Share Posted November 3 I was putting together a Pentium 166 MHz machine and I had just thrown in the win98 Microsoft CD and was about 30 percent into install. The machine didn't seem out of balance or anything out of the norm but then this happened.

I would contact MS support and see how far you get just for giggles It sounded just like a firecracker actually I was thinking it sounded like a transistor popping and so I was looking at the motherboard trying to figure out if I can see smoke or anything and then I looked at the CD and saw that piece sticking out. Crazy oooold CD. Of course I looked at the CD face before I put it in because the other CDs wouldn't work cuz they were scratched up and I knew if it was scratched up for sure it wouldn't work either so when I looked at the face I thought well this might just work, it's not scratched.

Back in day when I used to assemble PCs on a regular basis we had this happen a few times to install discs, it started to get more common when CD ROMs speed went above the 32x level, the 48x and 52x and the rare 64x drives could totally turn a disc into a million pieces if there was just a tiny hint of existing crack. 2 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/346007-off-topic-dumping-thread/page/252/#findComment-5559788 Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Torrax Posted November 7 Share Posted November 7 The brat cat struck again!! Went to the washroom and 5 USB Mem sticks disappear that I was working on. Knew something was up when she showed up with one in her mouth. Been searching on and off all night and one is still missing. I've been careful with keeping all my mem cards/usb sticks in containers and zip lock bags. Nothing is safe when you need a quick break with this rascal. 4 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/346007-off-topic-dumping-thread/page/252/#findComment-5561710 Share on other sites More sharing options...
