    It's amazing when I'm playing Skyrim and wondering just what it takes in the background to render the wind through the trees and bushes as a dragon is flying down and attacking me ...

    a whole lotta zeros and ones

    I got into pc's later than most, first home pc in 2003 and that was offline for a year....and I still remember learning how to overclock my pentium 90 (to 110 mhz) and the day I got 128 MB of ram


    along with installing my soundblaster 16 card using 10, 3.5 inch diskettes, those were HUGE advancements for me

    recall reading in some pc magazine circa 2001 or so...." There will come a day when internal pc architectures may be able to accommodate a full gigabyte of RAM. Although some experts are saying that figure may never be seen by the average home user. "

    0 = low voltage and 1 = high voltage. Electrical voltages. All our CPUs are, are glorified voltmeters. The simplest thing in the world: a machine to read differences in voltages, then extend it by doing a whole mess of binary arithmetic operations on the resulting strings, then spit the results out to the next piece of hardware as sequences of high and low voltages. And that's it.

    I started messing with computers in '92-'93. I had friends in NJ that had a few hardcore machines (not gaming machines, real computers) back in the 80s but I really wasn't into it back then. They were slower than all hell. Started in the early 90s, got competent up until '97, that's when I first started learning how to code. I found the underground at the tail end of '97, and then my real education began.

    I remember Leisure Suit Larry was a big deal on one of our work computers....and trying to play one of the first MS flight simulators on a yellow monochrome screen, while each frame was built before our eyes, as we were 'flying'....


    glory days

    Guy who sold me my first pc said - you should learn how to build the boat, before you sail the boat.

    Believe it or don't (and I know it doesn't show...) in 2003 I knew how to put together a pc from scratch and knew why some parts were used...the hardware aspect came first for me, as I didn't hit the net until late 2003/early 2004. Then I learned about programs and processes. I still help my friends with malware and speed problems..
