I remember being shocked when typewriters began showing up in antique stores.

It's gotten worse.

You can now find early computers there - or in the antiques section of Web sites like Ebay.

It got me thinking about a new definition of old.


Old doesn't just apply to those who can remember life before airplanes or television.

You qualify if things you once considered cutting-edge technology are now antiques. Or when the latest trends you swear you embraced just yesterday are things the MTV generation never heard of.

So, today, a list.



You know you're getting up there if you remember when:

* Your computer's ready-mode was a black screen with a single curser.

* Apple was bigger than Windows.

* Or should I say PCs, since for a while, there was no such thing as Windows.

* There was just "DOS."

* And they were called microcomputers instead of PCs.

* Contrary to free-market theory, your phone choices and bills were much easier because AT&T was a good old-fashioned monopoly.

* There was this amazing new video game called "Pong."

* And you thought it had the most advanced graphics imaginable.

* AOL was just another start-up online service that could easily have lost out to rivals called Compuserve and Prodigy.

* A 20-something guy named Dell came up with the nutty idea of selling computers by mail.

* Jane Fonda went from sex symbol, to feminist activist, to dutiful wife of a powerful man, to obscurity.

* And that powerful man was known not as Ted Turner founder of CNN - but "Blackbeard Among the Bluebloods" for winning the America's Cup while scandalizing Newport society with raucus behavior.

* And there was no question U.S. sailors would of course win the Cup - forever.

* It was called VD instead of an STD.

* The first true laptop computer was a Radio Shack TRS-80.

* And if you were hip, you referred to it affectionately as a TRASH-80.

* Burning a CD was the act of a pyromaniac.

* Sean Connery was Pierce Brosnan.

* The new walkaround phone that gave you astonishing mobility was a cordless one you could take around the house.

* And it got better reception than the one you can now take all over the country.

* Only wives got alimony.

* Steve Jobs ran Apple. I mean, the first time.

* There was a guy on 60 Minutes named Mike Wallace who was so old you figured he'd retire at the latest by 1990.

* TheMideast was simpler because Iran was run by a dictator called The Shah, who wanted power rather than Jihad.

* Mail was something you wrote on a piece of paper and put into a stamped envelope.

* And you didn't get 110 unsolicited pieces of it every morning promising to enhance your anatomical assets.

* No normal person had speakers on their computer.

* The diners at the next restaurant table were smoking cigarettes and you barely noticed.

* The only thing you knew about Robin Williams was he played a weird alien named "Mork" on television.

* A 1-gig hard drive seemed as big as a warehouse. (Today, most are 40-times that.)

* An 8-track tape the size of a paperback book was an advanced concept in compact music recording.

* Everyone knew what an LP was.

And now the final test of whether you're getting up there:

* Even though there are plenty of LPs in antiques stores, you still have 400 in your attic, because deep down, you still think the format will come back.

I just found on this site some info that proves TP mats existing not only in Chalenge!!!:

If you don't like m posting it here,I'l delete it.

Just to note, If you are planning to play Online with me in a game, please don't cheat. I try to ignore it, but it really gets on my nerves. I can tell if a person is cheating, as it is so simple...so there would be no point trying. I was in a game the other day and it happened to me, not naming who. It's not like I was born yesterday so please don't try it. Sorry to sound so negative about this, but thats how I feel on it.

Just wondering if there are other UT 2003 map makers on this site.If u want to learn UT2003 Editor,go there:

The second one is more complex about many 3D engines.

Keep this topic for UT2003 modding/mapping.

does anyone know what the hell i'm supposed to do with an amplifier?:confused:

Well i think its about time i decided to do something about challenge mode-at least get past first stage.
So if there is anyone else out there wanting to get some challenge mode done we could have a go together.
I keep reading decs guide i think it will help if we read that! I went on a few days ago and lasted 5 mins-i was not concentrating at all. I suppose the more of us there is the easier and faster we would be, also a mixed team might be a good idea.
I dont know.
Anyway i'll probably be on today but not til later cos i have pilates until after 7!!

Right then i am fed up with this!! Offline i'm having problems so decided to finally ask for help. Ive been online for ages and forgot about offline game so i tried to do some this week.
Its only level-hard so quite easy to get through quick but when i finish the vol opt thing i cant get into ruins. I did all the coloumns but it is sealed shut. There are circle things flashing on the seal. So i went thorough them again to redo it but the coloumns were still done.
Do i have to do forest, caves and mines all in one go? It is quite irritating now cos i'm fed up with hard and want to do offline v hard.
Does anyone know what i am doing wrong?

Maybe i'm just being stupid again!
