Trig old fruit, this isn't a new thing, I used an early dial-up modem to send files from Bristol area to Gloucester over a BT line in the late 80s, the files were small enough to fit on a floppy disk and took 2-3 hours to send (it would have been quicker by car) but we wanted to do it and the company at the other end paid for all the equipment

oh, you might be interested to know that wireless isn't new either, my dad was sending image files via radio in the 60s and 70s on equipmet he built himself

cool, your from an engineering background as apposed to a geek background
im cool with that
your alright

what sort of company was this?

my company designed equipment for stress testing microchips during the design phase

the other company manufactured printed circuit boards (PCBs) from our designs

right im unemployed what the fuck are you doing online now?

you were a business man with your own company

design phase on paper
or in manufacturing
mics are physical so im guessing manufacturing phase

I work for myself, I can be online whenever I like :)

it wasn't my company, I meant the company I worked for

big firms (motorola, intel, etc) designed new microchips, could be CPUs, memory chips, graphics chips, sound chips, whatever - we designed the systems to stress-test them - can they work at 200^OC - can the same chip stay working at -50, what if the humidity is 50%? what if the power source is unstable? etc etc

I was not in the electronics design side, I mostly did PCB layout design, someone else had designed the system and I converted their paper designs to physical circuit boards

i like engineers

you ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight?

have you ever had sex? with a real girl? who wasn't your sister?

only once in 1995
but my parents believe in sex after marriage so i will too

:D best of luck with that :D

I don't know any girls/women who'd wait 'till married now

and who'd marry an unemployed scottish geek anyway ?

no geeks here
no geeks in the Suttie family
no geek genes here

This is like when you were protesting that you weren't gay, isn't it? Only now it's geeks.

you want to think im a gay geek

I may as well think that. You are one.

think away
i know the truth
