I couldn't resist taking a poke at the search engine comments in your OP, which were, I presume, in good fun .... as were mine. Frank Raffaeli http://www.aomwireless.com/ |

Google Envy... That's a good one!
Na, can't be that. Otherwise well just try searching for "dumb terminal engineer" see who's number 3 on the list :-) http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q...+dumb+engineer Only joking! |

WTF, who cares, get over it! Google Envy... That's a good one! Maybe he's like Larkin, intimidated by his technical and social superiors. That's a new one - usually only my best clients question my social and technical skills, and this guy hasn't paid me a dime! I'm not sure if he's joking, as he claims in the search engine thread, or if he really believes his own bull****. In case there is any doubt, here is one possible scenario when performing a search for the following: {dumb engineering guy} top of the list http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&l...ngineering+guy any serious critique, and we may {see guy flame the engineer} (also number 1) http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&l...the+engi neer and in case there was any doubt, we may rest assured, for we have: {proven macon is dumb} http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&l...+macon+is+dumb Hope this helps Frank Raffaeli http://www.aomwireless.com/ |

Kindred spirits? You wish! ;-) ;-) ;-) I've built a dumb terminal. Kinda like the "TV Typewriter". Hey, didn't Don Lancaster write that TV Typewriter article? I was so frickin' proud of myself, because I pipelined the character ROM. ;-) IIRC, my "dumb" terminal had a uP in it, just to initialize the video sync generator, and manage shuttling characters from the input to the screen. It might have been a Z-80; I don't specifically remember which uP it was - it might have been a Motorola - it was so long ago. *-) - except that I _do_ remember that my keyboard thing used a 6502. I had got a naked, raw keyboard at some swap meet - each key had two terminals sticking out of the plastic behind it. 64 (or so) individual SPST switches; and I had a passel of uPs and RAMs and stuff, because I was working at the video game place where they'd bring in an obsolete video game, and for about a tenth the price of a new game, they'd refurb the cabinet, and swap out the board with a 'Mr. Do!'. They tossed the OE board. Everything from Asteroids to Space Invaders to games nobody's even ever heard of - I had dozens of discarded, but still fully functional, video game boards. This is a PCB about the footprint of a PC Motherboard. Sigh, those were the days. I also once as a programming exercise, wrote a dumb terminal. I admit, I used CodeView, the popup debugger, to steal somebody else's COM port interrupt handler, but the rest of it was a piece of cake. ;-) Cheers! Rich |

Nope, Google is doing exactly what it's supposed to do. Why do people keep harping on this inferior technology? The buzzword that makes the dictionary is supposed to be Yahoo, not Google! You don't "Google" something, you "Yahoo" it! People! Get your icons straight! Google sucks as a search engine and has always been run around circles by Yahoo. The only good use for Google is its USENET archive. |
