conceitedjerk Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 Well, as I've had absolutely no time to even start any of my projects (thanks to my day job), and having been told I need to put together a fairly substantial presentation for a business meeting next week, I'm afraid my Retrochallenge is over before it even began! Good luck to the rest of ya, and have fun! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
porter Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 What happened to the 40 hour week? Do you get overtime? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
conceitedjerk Posted July 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 What happened to the 40 hour week? Do you get overtime? Nope - salary and commission. As my commission alone funds my hobbies, I have a vested interest in doing well ;P Quote Link to post Share on other sites
luddite Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 That's really too bad... hopefully next year's a little more relaxed for you! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
equant Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 I was holding out hope for you; those are three systems I was looking forward to hearing about. Store up your retro-energy for the warmup I guess Quote Link to post Share on other sites
coius Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 Just to let you know, 1.44MB floppies work in those drives. but only at 100KB per disc But i used to have one of those. fantastic little machines. Say... did you happen to get that off of ebay a few days ago? and did you get an accouctic coupler that had either a green or tan base with really old rubber cups? You might have gotten mine Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Especially since it seems like this meeting is going to be a "career-defining" event No worries though... I kept detailed notes during the pre-planning stage of this year's Retrochallenge so I should be able to pick up where I left off. Kind of a piss off though, as I finally got my bloody Coco3 online with my dialup shell account again! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The latter half of July got busy for me too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
