@ BuoyToy:
Mine isn't a gaming system. I built it for 3d modelling/rigging/animation, and image/sound/video-editing, and it enables me to have several large software programs open at once (ie. photoshop, After Effects, PoserPro, Soundbooth, etc.) rather than having to close one application before opening another. I can instantly switch between programs without waiting for load-times. This is a massive time-saver in a production pipeline.

Nothing short of a full desktop pc would suffice for my workflow. Laptops, tablets, and cel-phones are too limited, functionally, for my uses, and are all disposable hardware. I can rebuild my system as my needs change. (Note: I've been using the same tower since win98.)

jusy by the list of hardware I thought that was was the case(why else have a kinect lol), then the software confirmed it.

have you seen the new samsung ssds? 16TBs

Yes, and I could use one too! (for backup/storage purposes) I just can't afford one right now. My 4+ tbs have been pretty much maxed-out for a while now. File sizes add up quickly when you're working with raw video out of After Effects; just one 3-minute clip can be several gbs. (Nevermind the incremental saving, animation project-files, and 3d Runtime content. Lol.) A friend of mine in Australia is using ssds and loves the increased speed she gets from them.

@ BuoyToy:
Likewise... I started with the original TRS-80. (Now known as the model-1, with 4k RAM, and cassette tapes for storage... ah, good times, good times. Lol.) We pre-ordered, and so, received ours 3 weeks before they were even delivered to the first stores for distribution.


I still have my Trash-80, with the cassette drive, on a shelf next to my old Cordata 8088 green-screen. Good times :)

Mine's BIGGER.

laugh


Unfortunately Pancho, a machine like that had a whopping 4k of ram. Which was about 4k of lightbulbs. I used to install IBM as400s. The were huge in the 80s and 90s. And by huge, I mean big.

Tribu,

Your watch has more memory than the mainframe supper computers of the 60s. To do stick animation in 3-D it would take 3 mainframes. One would hold the code, one would run the hardware, and one would run network comunications. About a 750k for one "animator" in the 80s.

Wow
Beginners All Symbolic Instruction Code. I used to repair the Trash 80. Majority of the time we were re-tuning the floppy drives. Those were fun times. The software we used was japanese. Replaced a few crts. Good times.
