@Venkatmangudi My first computer was pre 286 too, the 286 was my second computer.
My first computer was from the Atari 8-bit family, then I learned on Commodore at school then apple ][e at my next school.

@design_RG Also that gold is sexy AF
@design_RG Oh shit autocad.. That shit trained my depth perception skills :)
@freemo I remember those days well. My first PC was an IBM clone, 286 a6 MHz, the processor was fast for the time. Not an Intel part, they had moved on to promoting the newer and higher profit 386 gen processors.
I also bought and installed the math coprocessor for my machine. Needed since I wanted to use AutoCAD, and it required it.
So I ordered a 287 Intel coprocessor. It was about $300 CAD at the time, early 1991 probably. Would be a lot more today with inflation accounted for, and I was worried of damaging it during installation.
Turns out it did not work. I don't remember exactly what the symptom was, but not good. I had a $300 part, bought mail order, and might be stuck with it. 😟
Man I'm old. I remember 5 and 1/4 inch floppies and 286 CPUs that you could upgrade to be faster for certain operations by buying a math co-processor. It was literally a DIP style IC chip youd insert on your mother board.
I remember upgrading my computer back then with one. It was a store in the city that had this glass case with various IC chips in plastic cases, no box or pretty packaging but it had a sort of sterile beauty to it with a little holographic sticker on it I think.
Its weird I was pretty young at the time, barely into my double digits. Only went to that particular store once. But I can recall exactly what the inside of the store looked like and even the city block it was on.
It invokes strong feelings of nostalgia.
Indeed, the "lets ban everyone at the drop of a hat" crowd has gotten pretty extremist in how they handle that ideology.
Sice they have qoto blocked they will never see your message sadly.
I used to polietly reach out to admins to address their concerns if they block us from M.S account.
Despite being respectful and leaving alone anyone who asked me not to message them the admins at M/S saw this as harassment and told me not to. So I dont.
@renatolond
Most people with long block lists have never even interacted with the instances they block. Its mostly just gossip that no one ever bothers to confirm. Very sad.
@design_RG Not much we can do about the intolerance of other system admins sadly.
Hi, I just registered and look forward to participating in the QOTO community. I am a beginner biology student and experienced computer programmer. Glad I registered, it looks comfy here. #new
Ahh, shame. Many are abusive when it comes to their block lists and in no way critical of who they add. One person complains once and the list goes on forever.
The cross poster will break large tweets into multipart
That block isnt fir a crossposting tool. It is the block list for this instance: https://masto.donte.com.br/about
Thats weird as we do heavily moderate. Other cross posters work im using one to cross posat to twitter.
@karam_555 Hi, how are you?
@design_RG we already have a bot that will cross post from twitter accounts. we have one or two accounts we already do that for @KatieVanStuart is one.
Dear cyanobacteria,
I just want to thank you for all the free oxygen and food you provided when you threw that epic oxygenation party 2.4 billion years ago. Your friend, Mr. binsrc

@Surasanji HAve fun! We will make due without you, albeit with a few more tears than usual :)
How is the equation coming along for you. Have you had any success on working with it? If your stuck on the math please feel free to ask.
@sridharputhillath Since it is your only and first post, no, sorry.
If you stick around a bit and make some quality posts then later on I wouldnt mind sharing this message. But right now it seems like a singular purpose for creating your account and as such I am not going to spread it.
With that said it isnt strictly against our rules or anything so it will be allowed to stand on its own.
