@techspence @DL8BB Muttering “For f*cks sake…” all day.

Tell me you’ve worked in IT without telling me you’ve worked in IT. I’ll go first… Did you try turning it off and back on again?

@MuseumCommodore I have a blue one :)

What is this mysterious device? WARNING: This will show your age, 😂😂

@TheGoldenDays Windows 1 on a 286.

which one was your first windows?

@OctopusEnergy Ohme said I need to email your charging team. So waiting for a reply from them.

@Retro_Computers Hey Andy, happy to check in on this 🔍 Can you send across a DM with a few more details and I'll take a look? 🐙 twitter.com/messages/compo…

@OctopusEnergy hi. My Ohme charger has been offline for a week as it’s faulty. Will this affect my IOG account at all? Still waiting for Ohme to fix it.

@theamelia__ I’m from the early 80s 8bit era. The best era.

@theamelia__ Gravy.

@lady_valor_07 Password123!

Name one

YOU??

@r0b80170277 @fesshole Roger.

@fesshole So what is the therapists name?

In my contacts, I have my therapist saved with a space in between to give me a chuckle whenever she sends me reminders of our appointments. Terrified someone will see the notifications one day.

@PcPhilanthropy @chrisfralic Adlib. Then a SB 2 then the amazing AWE32.

My listening age is Soundblaster 16

Thanks @OctopusEnergy for my Constantine. She’s so happy to be here.

@tecmint Yep.

Answer without using: Yes / Ya / Yeah / Yup / Absolutely / of course / sure. Do you use Linux?

@otokyo__ Phishing trips.

@Matt_Pinner @highguard Peterborough.

What would you name the first city on Mars?

@OctopusEnergy Great. Thanks for the update.

@Retro_Computers Hey Andy, if you’re on Intelligent Octopus Go and integrated with an Ohme charger, your smart charging data works a little differently — we’re working to roll the app cost estimate feature out as soon as we can. 🐙

@OctopusEnergy any idea why I’m still getting this. Been happening a couple of months now. On Octopus Go if that makes a difference. Thanks 🐙

@codemon18429317 @JudgeDrokk The later listings had checksums on each line to see if you’ve made any mistakes. Control characters were also a pain. DATA block also tedious - I used to ask my mum to type them in as she was a typist!

@JudgeDrokk @Retro_Computers Could be worse. At least it's BASIC.

Did you do this in the 1980s?
