Is that type of "mouse" better to use with steam or without? Also, does it make a nice grilled cheese sandwich?

Don't laugh, lads. That's a cool thing. It could survive nuclear attack, 'cause it uses vacuum-tubes.
It's we who made those computers.

Of course that's why America was so afraid in 1962! Who could feel comfortable with such advanced technology in the hands of your enemy?

Wася · 21st August 2007, 18:22

Be cautious. We have even more equipment manufactured in 1962.

Dont laugh lads,
Russia beat America every time in the space race till the moon landings.
the T34 was a revolution in tank design since adopted by pretty much everyone.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-34
the kalashnikov AK47 is still one of the most reliable hand weapons ever designed.
its still in use unlike its american contemparary the Amourlite which was accurate but weak in firepower.
dont even get me started on the SA80 give me a Belgian FN anyday, i helped test the SA80 in 1981 it was crap then and its not changed much by all accounts.

You forgot RPG, Stu. It was very useful when we fought against Martians. And it's popular in some places on this planet also.

ES-1XXX (except ES-18XX) were a soviet clones of IBM mainframes. SM-1, 2 & 1210 were clones of HP-2000. SM-4, SM-1420 et al and BK-11 were a soviet clones of PDP-11. Iskra-226 ("sparkle") was an attempt of Wang 2200. SM-170X were clones of VAX. Iskra-1030 & ES-184X were a clones of IBM PC. I used to work on some of them. What can I say...
What a crap uncle Sam made after UNIVAC!
No, guys. Only relays and valves will save 3d world.

And seriously, AK actually was remastered Hugo Schmeisser's prototype. So, if you have some problems with using it - it's not our fault.

And you can blame photocopying on us Aussies (Xerox)---- AND,do you remember---all this stuff of electronic media that was supposed to SAVE! trees!!!!!!!!!

Wася · 22nd August 2007, 08:57

Wow. In SU there was one KGBst per one Xerox.
I thought they prevented attemts to copy prohibited books and articles, but now I know - they only worried about trees!

bwtr · 22nd August 2007, 09:17

No,-- they Xeroxed all the KGB into the CIA----duplicates!

And everytime you read a piece of tree(paper) a clone is watching you and, at about the same level of inteligence as that original (I am old enough to remember them) tree!

Wася · 22nd August 2007, 09:26

Wow
That's why I hate reading. I get it now.
