Yeah, I just went and had a look to see what all the fuss was about - reminded me of the dial-up BBS's of the late 1980's crossed with Google Groups! Why on earth would anyone run a forum like that these days when vBulletin costs peanuts.Quote:

Hmmm, I went and had a nosy, and Im not sure if the thread is referring to that site or here. If it was in reference to hear, then ummmm, heellloooo, I spent 5 mins there and couldnt wait to get off, its all over the place, hard to follow, not specific, have to click in and out of messages etc, not professional or easy by any means. Each to their own I guess,

As said before, it was a great site and forum 5 years ago, plen ty going on and informative.
But times have changed, forums have become so much more user-friendly, the front web site is no longer functional and AULRO has really taken the people who used to frequent that site (like me and many others) because it was antiquated and boring to be quite honest :(
Live on AULRO :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

Yeah, I was hoping I wasnt going to upset anyone by saying that.
Back about 20 years ago it would have been state of the art and I dont understand how anyone could say that this is harder to navigate than in there.
Maybe the people who stayed are still running the old 80086 machines and 12k modems with 5 1/4 floppy drives or maybe even audio tapes.
It would be so hard catching up with windows and ADSL connections that they have these days. I cant talk, im still on dial up at home :(
8086??? :DQuote:

Are you an Apple 1 fan, GQ? I thought you might at least have updated to a Mac Classic.Quote:

The 8086 was not used to anything like the extent of the 8088 or its successors, but the whole family is backward compatible with the 8086, so that is the name used to refer to the family of processors.Quote:

Actually, I think the 8086 was the 8 bit one (Running at a speedy 3MHz or so in the first IBM XT's), and the first true 16bit was the 80286.Quote:
