Re: Have I biten off more than I can chew ? Production Van

Bob:

I asked only to compare where we are at today versus "way back when".

I was having a conversation with a college age kid, born 4 years after the ADO first appeared, and was telling him how AMAZING that a computer was capable of keeping up with TV signals - who'd have thought that 3.58 Mhz would become relatively pokey, back when A/D and D/A converters were tricky above a few hundred Khz, and PC computers were running 8088's or 80286 processors.

Of course, software back then was written in assembler. And if you had a modem, chances were that you participated in a BBS somehow.

Aaah - how things have changed. And today, it's getting tougher to find specs on some of the "beginning" technology. No PDF's from the day, I guess.
