Description
I saw Warren Buffet on TV yesterday saying amassing American brands and really cheap stock index funds was the key to success. Then I read John C.Dvorak in PCmagazine's column where he remembers "we were running 386 machines with under a gigabyte of main memory, a 3Gb hard disk, a 10Mps network card that barely worked, and a miserable flickering screen." I would set my point of entry to this phase of computing as "a Pentium with 8Mb of main memory, a 512 Mb hard disk, an unused modem, and 8bt graphics." This image show how honest, reliable and sure my short term and then long term memory is. After depicting each feature I can summarize as brands. But only if I drive in that direction. It's a service to industry and my lady friends. This is what I set out to do when I first got an Internet connection in 1999. I'm pleased that I can refute charges of absent-mindedness as well as of Alzheimer's disease. Maybe...it depends on what you see.

Do you know Robert Czarny's pictures? He is a polish S.F. artist and he formerly worked with an old 386 P.C. He had to "hunt" and kill every unused polygon and his pictures where very realistic. Must we have gigabites meory and the ultimate P.C.? http://www.graphique3d.republika.pl/

My computer is way to slow to up with such high action components...Your 3D modeling is ALWAYS top notch...
interesting comments. nice pic.
looks like things are heating up in the welder shop and it is not the blow torch.the Vette engine is excellent as the poses
AHhh the good old MFM hard hard drive days, and also 56k modems and don't forget the bbs's!! My first computer was a kit.. Sinclair zx-81 ~ 3.25 MHz ~ 8K ROM, 1K RAM externally expandable to 64K (56K usable) ~ Monochrome only display ~ storage was External cassette recorder!
my fist machine was an osborne. not even an osborne 2. 64k ram, cpm os, 100k floppies (it was a dual floppy machine one floppy for software, one for storage) and no graphics card. later i got a 400 baud modem and could dial-up 'prodigy' for real time stock quotes. i still remember getting a 100 meg hard drive and thinking i would never fill it. times change, but not nearly as much as the advertisers would like us to believe. could it be because the human condition doesn't really change at all?
From your wonderful graphics work with modeling in Bryce and Poser, I thought for sure you were using a Macintosh. I can't remember the name of my first computer, but it had an 80MB hard drive, 10MB of RAM and a 12-inch screen, but with the black frame it was actually 9-inches.
Excellent collage !
Great pose !! Super Fun with the animal in the back !
Great modeling as usual dale !
