When I saw the floppy disk I had to ask that stupid question. When was the
last time I had a floppy drive to read one of those?

last time I had a floppy drive to read one of those?
My current desktop computer has a 3-1/2" drive. I wonder if it
works. It has a lot of dust. I knew it had one, but I had to search
for it. (The front has little doors to hide things.)

My previous desktop computer had a 5-1/4". I decided not to
bother with my current system. I had not used it in years.

Well, I am on-topic for "Throwback".

Sincerely,

Gene Wirchenko

I was at that Devcon. It's statistically astounding to witness the dearth of musical talent in that group of incredibly skilled VFP gurus... Not a one was capable of carrying a tune. <g,d&r>

I would say there's a sampling error here. I know Barbara is a
respected chorister; toured Europe and everything. And several of the
others *could* carry a tune. There was little prep (we were still
expected to deliver presentations, IN ADDITION to our musical
performances!) no chance to warm up or even get a cue, and it was
pretty much one take and done.

I for one, am guilty as charged; need a big bucket to carry a tune.

I believe I still have the Fox is Magic merch, too.

No offense intended to any of the would-be contestants in that America (and the UK) Has Talent audition tape... 😊

I do recall sitting in the lobby at the end of a Whilfest and Chet Gardiner had a guitar with him. He could play.

We had musicians! Guitarists gathered and played late into the night.

Rick Strahl and Andy Griebel were also in bands, though quite different ones ;)

Janis Booth could belt out a tune.

John Hawkins could often be found at the piano, and he could play (or
fake) pretty much any request.

And there's a video of Eldor Gemst at Karaoke night that was (in) famous....

That brought back some memories, not all good. I remember struggling to get
my head around the Foundation Read :-)
