i just found a zip 100 disk in my room. i know it has photoshop stuff on it that i did when i was in HS(i stole it on the last day of classes before graduation). it can only be read on an Iomega drive that they (probably)dont sell or manufacture anymore. i can get a used one on ebay for $15-25. i want to see if there is anything worth putting in my portfolio. the only concern is anything on there was created using a mac. hopefully i had the presence of mind to save it as a universal file type.
anyone else use gadgets that are outdated?
-
I had one of those back in the day. I thought it was awesome to have a drive that held 250meg until I realized that wasn't shit. Also they crashed a lot just like their smaller counterparts.
-
I have an old Peavey amp. I wouldn't call it outdated, though.
We did talk elsewhere about recording onto cassette tapes. That probably fits the bill better - although I recorded my last lesson on my iPhone. I liked that.

Hey, me too. Mine doesn't work though.
-
Ha! Neither does mine. It is in the shop, though, so maybe one day it will.

I post here using Lynx running on an ENIAC.
-
I have a Peavey amp too, a 4 channel PA head with two speakers cabinets. I bought it in a Pawn Shop about 25 years ago. It still works like a mother fucker.
That's also a Peavey Amp you can see the back of in this picture (http://www.flickr.com/photos/pmcd9/2020215564/). It got beat all to hell in that crash, but never stopped working.
Peavey rocks!!!

I still use the version of Word form MS Office 95. No I am not kidding. We also still run Vista, which had just come out when we got this desktop. I've been meaning to upgrade both, but every time I go the store to buy the software, I end up not going through with it. I had tried to convert to switch over to using Lynx a few years back, but both hubby and I lack the depth of knowledge or interest to make such a thing work in practice.
-
We officially use IE 6 here at work. Half the sites I go to for entertainment just look at me and roll their eyes. I finally had to install chrome, although it's sort of forbidden.
-
I still use Word from 1997. Smells makes me feel so cutting edge.
-
Peavey amp and guitar owner here. Both still work.
-
I actually have two Peaveys - guitar and bass.

We are having a big clean-up/reorganize in the basement, and I uncovered not one but two Sony Walkmen of the cassette variety. Put new batteries in them and they work fine. Not sure what the hell to do with them though.

I got a Peavy bass too, jeez.
-
I have a peavy amp too. I used to used to use it when I was an asshole freshman in college... because if I wanted to rock out with my cock out on a saturday night, the entire dorm building deserved to shake.

At the Beard Competition, when they asked us questions about ourselves, people with particularly interesting facial hair... if they played an instrument, it was always the bass guitar.
Is this... A Thing?

well, yeah. the bass is the sexiest instrument.
-
But I associate bass with cute rocker girls. Does this mean they need to grow beards?

I want there to be some joke here about Kim Deal dating Frank Black, making the cute rocker girl the actual beard, but I'm either too tired or not smart enough to make it.

Speaking of Frank Black... Bluefinger (http://www.catastrophictheatre.com/shows/bluefinger) has started it's run and it's getting (http://blogs.houstonpress.com/hairballs/2010/11/cover_story_jason_nodler_discu.php) great (http://blogs.houstonpress.com/rocks/2010/11/bluefinger_rock_and_roll_trage.php) reviews (http://www.chron.com/commons/persona.html?newspaperUserId=buzzbell&plckPersonaPage=BlogViewPost&plckUserId=buzzbell&plckPostId=Blog%3AbuzzbellPost%3A06f04bea-9f15-445e-a49a-05d082ac9c7a&plckController=PersonaBlog&).

So... as discussed before, Frank Black has been on my WATCH LIST, and I'd not been listening to him. I heard a bit of some Grand Duchy stuff. What the hell... I liked it.
Also, topically: I do not own a Peavy amp. I have a Fender bass amp, and a Kramer practice amp. Though I need to replace the fuse in the Kramer. My son was using it while he was doing some kinda Eastern European Oontz Oontz Soundscapes with a Korg minisynth. (He's the one in the family with musical talent.) I guess the techno was a little too metal for the amp.
My ladyfriend had a Zip drive and a bunch of Zipdisks in our closet. A few months ago, I went through the process of pulling the drive out, finding a computer with a parallel port, and copying everything off of those disks over to a hard drive for her. Then we went through them with a bottle of wine and enjoyed the wayback machine.
Good times.

Canned for zipdrive porn.

Canned for zipdrive homemade amateur porn.
FTFY
-
The homemade part was assumed. I think I'll go look at some homemade porn now. Hey, it's my ex-girlfriend's titties from 10 years ago. Win!
Edit: Dang, I had forgotten about some of that stuff. :D
-
my amp is depressingly high-tech.
it turns out you can't buy "just a Vox amp" unless you want to spend thousands of dollars. The cheaper amp is all fancy and digital and pretends to be other amps. I mostly set it to "Vox AC30," which makes me feel stupid.
My old amp was a Crate, which kind of sucked. Sometimes I miss how few knobs it had, though. If i have more knobs, I will spend more time fiddling with those knobs.
-
I don't play often enough to remember how to make my amp do what I want it to do when I want to change it up.
-
also, apparently part of the emulation is that the different knobs do slightly different things when you set it to emulate different amps.
so like, old fender amps didn't have a "gain" knob, so that knob does some other thing when you set the amp to Fender. WHAT.
-
I almost got an amp like that, but then I didn't.
-
I mostly play acoustic.

Somday soon, they'll outsource sysadmining your amp, and THEN what will you do?

Wait, is Frank Black thought to be gay?

Sometimes.

everyone is a little bit gay.

Or as that one guy said, Everyone's a little queer, why can't she be a little straight (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QsVyBHJrNQw)?
