And now even more OT, if it's possible in an OT-thread:

Still laughing every time my brother comes to visit from Finland and we watch these old family mementos.

Funny story. Weighed a ton these things. My first real pc was a british forgottotallythename running CP/M. Nice model actually, a flattish reasonably styled box, with 2 horizontally placed 5 1/4 drives.
1 for the os. Gave it to my fatherinlaw who used it

Till I scarcely more than muttered `Other friends have flown before -
On the morrow he will leave me, as my hopes have flown before.'
Then the bird said, `Nevermore.'

Startled at the stillness broken by reply so aptly spoken

Geez, I haven't 'heard' that in a long time.

So long, and thanks for all the fish.

That's the best series of books i've ever read, and still do.
Pity the guy passed away at a relatively young age, what a perfect sense of humor. Not yet Antman ofcourse but still way up there.

Have you guys seen Blackadder?

 

[petrossa]

NOT

20 hex was subtracted from each char in your data area.

Memory dropping bit 5 at even addresses ?

New MASM "feature" ?

(Don't think Caps Lock works on the CRT)

No color: Odd-numbered byte addressing might be a problem here.

Kari, you need a new computer !!!

I could once do that kind of code my eyes closed hanging head down from a tree. No more. That was copied from a CP/M site. (****! Now I blew my cover )

And now even more OT, if it's possible in an OT-thread:

Has this thread gone off-topic?

Better get back off-topic, then.

 

[petrossa]

should rename the thread

 

[Kari]

I'm coulrophobic! Help please!



Anyway, congrats for your new job!

I'm fed up with these Germans not realizing my typical Finnish male name Kari really is a name of a man. It's not a big problem, more of an annoyance. "Hello. May I speak to Mrs. Kari P., please" or "Dear Mrs. Kari P., you have been pre-approved ..."

A couple of minutes ago I had this PITA call. Six or seven times same question. "Are you sure?" Of course I'm sure, you f****** idiot. Can't help it if I was born with male genitals and then given a name everybody outside Finland thinks belongs to a woman.

I need a beer. Or two. Need to go to drink my lunch, back in office in 45 minutes.

OK, done some researching. My problem seems to be global; also people from English speaking cultures and countries think my name belongs to a woman, as this screenshot from NBC series "Frasier" shows:



Subtitles are in Finnish, in English it goes something like:
Frasier: Hello? You are on air.
Caller: Hi. it's me, Kari (with a sexy voice of a young woman!)

I give up, let the others think I am a cross-dressing woman.

You wish those clowns would stop calling you.

I had to install speech synthesis software to surf SevenForums. Now I do it my eyes closed, letting a nice female voice (maybe Kari?) read new posts for me.
