[QUOTE="Firewalker, post: 8745106, member: 676743"] Nope everything has been mainstreamed for the most part since the late '90s or so. Maybe even as early as '92-'93. I can remember soldering in all sorts of memory chips. Just to go from 1mb to 2mb or 2mb up to 4mb was a huge cost back then. We had CD readers back then as we had to for dad's work since not only was he a machinist as you know but he also did all the computer work i.e security setups on Mobil Oil's Elwood Location. He even created the pump vibration analysis program back in the late '90s that they still use today for figuring out what part, exactly where the vibration is coming from and what you need to fix it. Heck he would bring home the security software when I was oh around 12 when he 1st installed on our home PC to see how fast or IF I could even hack it. Usually within anywhere from 15 minutes to 2 hours I was in fully usually with a smart *** picture for him to see when he would login,lol. Like nice try ******* try better next time this time it only took me 15 minutes,lol. He would just smile and look at me and laugh. One day he said "I've created someone who can hack wtf was I thinking?" And trust me if I wanted to I would get back into it but it is like an addiction once I start installing stuff on encrypted hard drives and yeah I end up doing stuff I shouldn't so its been around 16 years since I did anything not that I still don't have a ton of programs on CD and DVD.
