I am sooo old, and will never stop living in deep past, when professional Ethernet installations where done with 10BASE-5 and 'vampire' connectors


I only came across vampire connectors back in 2001! It was used to link 2 ends of a building to carry NetBIOS/NetBEUI traffic. They didn't use TCP/IP as they couldn't afford to by licences for a stack on each Windows 3.11 machine.

My first experience with CD-R's was when the discs where a much more reasonable £11 a disc. The machine did run windows but you had to disable the network card and the screensaver to ensure a problem free burn. That said I still have the first disc I ever burnt and it still plays! However there's probably stuff I made 6 months ago that doesn't!
