Welcome Jeanmc, Suggest you try "Where did you all come from?" thread and enterthe names of those you're looking for? It's further down the "Off Topic" forum. I was '72-'75 and I don't know any of the names you've mentioned. Just mentioned above so this thread has now moved up for you to see. Pat Edited by Biker Pat |

Met Liam Kelly's brother in PowerCity today told him about the site and someone was asking after the gang he used to hang around in. Edited by monarch |

Cecil is so dumb that he tried to minimize a 12 variable function to a minimal
sum of products expression using a Karnaugh map instead of the Quine- McCluskey algorithm. |

I can sympathize with how Cecil feels about his box of records being
replaced by an iPod. When I started in graphic arts back in the ice age type was set by hand one letter at a time and everything was keylined and pasted on a drawing board, logos and illustrations had to be drawn by hand and photographed. Now the kids just bang the junk out on a keyboard and everything looks fabulous. All rules relating to kerning, font size and spacing are out the window. ...eh, where was I Oh yeh...just like Cecil's box of records

The true meaning of Cut and Paste and Upper Case and lower case!
Found some old Letraset 'transfer' sheets last month and the kids loved them. I remember in primary school, 'printouts' were typed onto a stencil sheet - the typewriter cut the shape of the letters on the stencil, it was loaded on to a duplicating machine and a very messy ink was squeezed through on to the paper (oh yeah - this is the Cecil thread - need a vinyl link) I used send away for my vinyl (to a Mr Branson) and the list of records were printed that way. I vividly remember 'against the grain' being listed as 'against the groin' :) |

Right- Mimeograph. Another thing long gone is the dictaphone. I don't mind
that the kids never heard of one but it spoils my-" Does your girlfriend us a dictaphone?"-"yes"-"well, why can't she just use her fingers like everyone else?"- joke. OK--stop messing up Cecil's thread As kids we used to heat and bend old 78s into ashtrays and flower vases, and so did Cecil. |
