Somebody please reboot the Internet! - 20/07/2001 15:06
My access to the Board has been excruciatingly slow today. I was quick to accuse our favourite Croatian near-monopoly ISP, but it seems it is not their fault for once: most other sites come in normally.
Has anybody had similar problems today?

Dammit! I lost my reboot button. Tony, can you get it from your side?

I'm just getting the message "This is not a valid DOS boot disk", could you try ejecting the floppy and resetting again Tony ?

Ooo, that's a bad one. It looks like, during installation, somebody must have left disk two in while trying to insert disk three.

I recommend we upgrade the Internet from this outdated dual 5 1/4 inch floppy drive machine to a machine with one of those new fangled 5Mb Winchester fixed disk drives...
(we should also upgrade the memory from 512k to 640k, as I'm told that will make it completely future proof, after all who would ever need more than 640k of memory?)

No, you just fold them in half to fit them in these ultra-modern 3.5" drive watsits.

But memory is so expensive, we can't justify the money for such a minimal improvement in performance. Besides we can just pour iron filings on the disks to increase thier capacity.
